Nope. Freshen up parts for the big 350. Wanna make sure I can trust her for all the road trips this summer.

I told him he planned it all along. Gave me the good intake so it would run awesome and I’d put it in a wall. Then he’d just conveniently take the engine that he wanted all along.

 

[RustyHornet]

Ya got me.

 

[churchmouse]

I love it.

180hp is a lot to handle.

After you put $1k into it, it might make 200. Be careful!

So tiny tires are on the front now. 255/40 RT615k+. front end bites hard but that axle feels like it's all over the place. literally feels like its moving around.

I would drive the crap out of this. Not even ashamed.

I had that same turbo on my "semi-built" Galant VR4. 93/E85 mix and it made ~320-350 all wheel HP @ 24 psi. That same turbo on a Honda motor at the same psi would be closer to 400 FWHP. In a little lightweight tin can like that it sure might go 9's.

Totally gutted like that? You know it only weighs maybe 1800 soaking wet. Even an easy 300hp could get you close to 10’s. Ridiculous. Way too tempting.

I just haven't seen Honda's like that at the track, even with bigger turbos, able to hook and cut times like that. It's like seeing a 900 HP Supra go 12's.

 

[RustyHornet]

CP doesn’t have a traction problem, he’s got a hooking right and spinning problem. I think he’d be better off on the drift circuit.

Sorry bro had to.

 

[RustyHornet]

Figured some here might be interested in this car show coming up next month. I’m gonna make the drive down to support.

Yeah that’s a car you get off the line as good as you can and then scream out the back door.
