what hapened to the real bars?What happened to nuespeeds bar, it looked awesome?Does anyone make a tri mount strut bar that actually does something?I cant believe that after 10 years + of this car, we still dont have a decent option for a nice strut bar, both front and rear.

Hey guys, well i talked to obx a few times and it looks like they are scheduled for a release in the end of januaryIf you didnt know, they make lsd's for acuras and hondas already, been for a while.I have researched this and they have had all positive feedback so far and everyone that...

I finally broke down and ordered a 6 pack to compare to my xylene custom brewed race gasThis stuff is NOT off the shelf octane boost, its race gas concentrateTorco is a fairly big company and they also sell 55 gallon drums of race gas, which coincidentaly is just this concentrate mixed...

Well I will be doing some track days coming up here so I took the car to the dyno again and did some tuning for safe, low boost maps to keep the car safe and strong on the trackI did tuning at 10psi and 14psiEnded up with 238whp at 10psi and 281whp at 14psi, I was very happy with the...

turn the boost up, run race gas and meth injection and watch those 11's baby..wooohooo

very nice man...solid 12.5s is great for a fwdnext time put the pressure at like 10-12psi, serious, and watch it grab 2nd gear with no spin, you could get low 12s I thinkMy goal is 12s with my drag radials

also when i look up new rods, they have them from 5/92 on or before that...which ones am I looking for? What is the difference?

so rod bearings for a 6 bolt on the 1g rods will fit the 7bolt crank without any crank machining?I will hone the cylinders if needed, but most likely it still has the swirl marks on it, and in that case, i'll leave it alone, and just file gap the rings accorndinglyWhat do you mean...

Ok, a few questionsI am going to pull out my pistons and re-ring them as its about that time. At the same time I also want to replace my 2g rods with 1g rods because they are strongerI was going to do a full build but dont want to pull the whole engine out and have it machined, so i...

got them and put them on, wow they look great and they work great too, i still have to bleed them 1 more time, for some reason we bled it twice and still has a bit of air in it...i ordered some speed bleeders to make the job fast and easierthey look great, still breaking them in, but htey...

Cant wait, it will be here FridayGot it for $699 SHIPPED from www.streetortrack.com and its the full kit with drilled/slotted/zinc washedI personally wanted just slotted as Im not a big fan of drilled but the slotted and dirlled is their standard style that they always stock...

this is not magic....the car is sucking a little bit of nitrous into the intake...thts the ONLY way it makes power....maybe 5% of that power is coming from the colder intercoolerJust do water/meth injection, its much more effective at reducing intake temps

seems like everyone talks and says the same thing, when really only a handfull of people have built engines, the rest is just hearsay and based on what some "pro" saidI've pulled a head off a 92 gsx with 120000 miles and it still had the hash marks on the cylinder walls and looked brand new...

Where do I get some? Just stock bore wisecos, something in the 8:2-9:1 comp ratio???

I put a new tranny in my car and put in redline gear oil which I think is too think cause shifting is really notchy and slow.I keep hearing about this GM syncromesh and want to try it but it scares me because its very light and may not offer enough protection to the bearings and suchYES...

Im getting suspicious about these comments, some of you people really need to invest in tires and suspensionI am making 320whp on my street tune and I can only sometimes get 2nd gear to light up from just throttling in on and getting power tire spin from a roll in 2ndHow are you...

thank you...you gained 35whp on a 16g, and im on a 50trim and I run meth injection so its kinda like your race gas tune, cause I can run up to 22-24psi on pump gas. The more boost you run the more cams will gain because the stock ones just aren't up to the airflowSO if I can gain 35whp with...

dont make me regret itthe 200's are bigger then 272s and ive heard 272s idle and its rough...I just dont want a 5000-8000rpm car, I want drivability power and passing power without having to race my car to pass someoneI hope the 100's still help alot which I think they will because...

Well I finally did it. Should be here at the end of the week.I may just pull the head and do a headgasket(SCE titan) and arp studs just to be safe, and perhaps put new valve stems into the head.I almost ordered the 200's but really didnt want to lose that much lowend because this car...

reacting to less boost, so it goes fast slow because of the huge change in boost, 5psi(40-50hp is alot) when it happens quicklyits not hte turbo because its the new t04b 50trim from bullseye which has no surging at all anymore, i know cause i had the wastegate set way high before that...

Not sure if its the controller or not, but I cant figure it out.On low boost setting, at about 14-15psi, it holds rock solid. When i switch to the high boost setting at like 20psi, it goes bananas, like someone hitting the nitrous button on and offIt goes from 22-17psi back and forth...

get a shep or TRE tranny and throw a quaife into it....then you can be somewhat confident about the tranny

what size bfg'? I got a set of the 225/45/17's drag radials because the 225/50/15 is smaller OD and i think would negate traction beecause of lower gearingI am putting in my new tranny this week with an LSDI am hoping for low high 1.9's 60fts...with my 350whp that should put me in...

oh to to whoever previously mentioned my quotes and pointed fingers, first off all, I did talk (email) to a obx rep, didnt go anywhere because he was blowing a bunch of smoke up my ass about sending me the first one free to try out and all that bs....again, im not too fond of obx the company...

well just stumbled on them on ebay, ready to ship, they are done i guess and for sale for $450...makes it hard to want to buy a quaife now for 1200 doesnt it...lolI just bought a new tranny to replace my blown one, may just get one of these to try outThere is a local shopowner here that...

Im going to go with 24.5x8.5 slicks, 26" seem like a pain to launch cause of the higher gearing, you'd really have to wind it upIM looking for 400whp(currently at 344whp on old turbo no cams) and the only weight I will take out is passanger seat, rear seats and spare tire, possibly a CF hood...

if your profile is correct, I can tell you exactly how to get into the 11's22" slicks are way way way too small for a high hp, high torque, heavier cars like ours.Those are strictly designed for all motor civics to get the gearing.Thats why your 60fts are still over 2.0'sGet some...

umm....you guys bought all the whole car -engine..why not just swap his engine into that talon wouldnt that seem like the logical thing to do? Especially since the talon already had cool stuff on it...I would think swaping engines is easier than converting a FWD to AWDUnless I find a...

fwd's shouldn't be at the track unless they are at least on drag radials, otherwise, its just embarrasingI could never get out of the 14's on street tires...its worthlessI still wish I had an AWD, you never have to worry about putting the power downI would just love to once be able...

wish i could have my tranny done by then :cry:FWD converted to AWD huh? Damn....how complicate was that???

with too much HP you can always get a 2 stage boost controller, flip the boost on low in the 1st 2 gears, and crank it up in the last 2My profec b has a remote so i can control boost from the steering wheel. I keep boost in 1st gear at 14psi and the rest at 22psiTHis allows 1st gear to...

you know both nitto and bfgoodrich says you dont have to do a burnout on these, but here is what i found outi have the gforce 225/45/17 drags on my fwd and it has maybe about 15% better traction just driving around. 1 day I overreved and dropped the clutch and just lit them up in smoke...

dyno results coming next week hopefully with cams...I just cant decide between the 101100 and the 101200 comp cams...i dont want to loose too much drivability and have no torque around town, since most of my driving is around town...i have to look at it realistically.

22-24psi by 4000rpm in 3rdI am waiting for my comp cams before I dyno. And Im fixing my meth injection at this point, its leaking for some reason.Once that is done, I will run the final dyno at 24psi and see what numbers I can get after I fine tune the dsmlink and meth injection...

btw, here's what its on:)

dude you woulda raped 99% of those camaros if you went...i rarely see fast camaros and mustangs anymore

Well, I had the vtrim bullseye turbo for a bit over 1 year and was very happy with it.I put down 344whp on stock head, cams, intake manifold at 24psi on meth injection.This weekend I upgraded to the t04b 50trim, where they stuff the 50trim 6 blade wheel into the t04b housing, along with...

any updates?

I totally believe itits all about power to weight ratioThere are all motor civics running 10's with way less power than he has because they are lighthis car looks light, plexi all around, no interior, looks light. I wonder what a evo16g would do on that car ? It doesnt weigh...

5300ft elevation may have something to do with that, that makes you like 1 second slower right there doesnt it?

gt35 is awefully large, you probably need a stroker for itgt30 i think is the perfect turbo for a 2.0L, as has been proven by the FP 3052/65 line of turbosFor me, personally, i think 400whp is the most you can ever use on a fwd, after that, its about setup, traction and technique...

damn that looks mean as helll man, i love the awd drag look, very badasswith a 125shot and 30psi, damn, you better squeeze off some solid if not low 10s'...thats a serious setup :thumb:

So lets set a date for Sac raceway for us to meet up at and do some FWD runs, lolSometimes late sep. Friday night test-tune seems to be the best option for us, they have one on the 23rd.My tranny should be done by then and I'll bring my drag radials. I'd love to dip into the 12's on...

how do you shift fast enough on a 5 speed to even go that quick, most guys running that fast are running airshifters or automatics or somethingyou are definetly good!

oh, well thats cool then...hey, check your pm's about your slicks...im interested

check your pm'sOn a side note, this is what i dont understand. My roomates srt4 stage3 on race gas with 370whp runs 11.7's at 120mph on slicks. Yet it takes a dsm with 501whp to run 12.0s at 119mph? I dont understand this, is there something magical about the power curve in the srt4, the...

13.3 on a convertible isnt all too bad with only 260whp, thats the kind of efficiency i want to be seeing. I dont like seeing guys with 400whp running 14's...lolWhat kind of drag radials? Seems like guys with quaifes are really putting down better timesI am still trying to decide...

i know but with a setup like yours ,it would be interestinng to see what the best time you can get, seems like pump would really limit your whole setup, which is pretty damn impressive and could be ran up to like 35psi...damn, we can see a fwd in the 10s
