im getting a 88 vette, but it will be n/a tune and stroke to 396. and if i got the extra cash it will have a BLOWER! (looking at around 400 to 500rwhp)

Acura (USA Honda), it is a type r engine but he is like a race type r engine or something like that? (im guess he ment it isnt the stock type R engine)

i have never heard of anything like that. in asia (where i come from) all they have are just type r engines, which are your regular b16 and b18. nuttin too spectacular. your vette will blow that away.

one example. i went up with my garage to sepang (KL track). it's garage r, in singapore. i was in one of their GTR34, approx. 750hp. let's just say the VTECs took forever to clear the back and front straights.

Take a look in the engine bay of CAS' MRDMG (spl?) - there's a good example of a 'race/drag' honda engine (a lot of the work done in the US too). 'Race engine' is such vague terminology - could just mean that the engine has been race prepped. Doesn't mean that it is a type 'x' engine.

from your description, sounds dodgy.

it sounded very dodgy to me and when i asked him how much he payed he gave me alook that it feel of the back of the truck so it could be spoon or just a mod up type_r thanks 4 your help.

INASNT: i will mostly buy a stock 88 and just do the mod myself and have them done pro i got the money so it doesnt matter me (14k for the car 10K or so for mods)

The most i've heard from road going n/a vtecs are abt 250-270 bhp, 2 liter block, 11000rpm redline...etc

But even if this is slightly optimistic, i would still think it'll have little chance against a vette....

It all depends...cos if you work hard at paring weight down, EG civics can be as light as 800 plus kilos, it might have a good chance down the straights then....

Dont forget as well i think the fastest all motor hondas in America run low 11s

Of cos if u introduce forced induction, then its a whole new ball game as well....

i think it might be a spoon or a b16a engine (the turbocharged type) I know HKS create a turbo kit that will mount onto most VTEC engines...

then again honda driver... he was probably talking out of his left arse cheek...

momentarily... after about 20 psi a turbocharger will exponentially increase to 30+ psi in theory and by the time you hit 30psi a turbocharger with equal flow efficiencies should in essence have hit (using formulas) around about... 63.38 psi... (yes I'm an engineering student)

unfortunately this dosen't translate to real world physics, and yes you will still beat the pants off him.

I think I spent waaay too much time tryin to fit a Vortech on my n/a...

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      Yeah pretty impressive hey, good to see quality products not over-shooting their prices. That's what drew me to buy the hypergear turbo, just a shame I've never got the chance to see it in action

      Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand.

      Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!

      Hypergear ATR45 SAT Turbo With addons (brand new - never used)

      I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
