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...

    • He obviously had his reason for flipping you off. I wonder what it was...
    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
