I raced a friend of mine's H22A '92 Civic when i first rebuilt my engine and ran 8psi, ran even in 1st and 2nd, he pulled in 3rd. I raised my boost to 10-11psi, i ran him again from 2nd, he floored it on the 3rd honk insted of after, he got a car length between us, i passed him and by the end of 3rd, i had a car legnth on him between us. This friend's car ran even with an LS1 Z28, not sure the year.

Next i had a bike behind me on a single lane road revving, he followed me onto a 3 lane highway, i floored it to let him know i was interested, he started pacing me, i gave 3 honks and we went. I ran dead even with him in 2nd, shifted into 3rd and he got a little ahead (turbo lag), but i caught right back up with him. He shut down, caught back up to me and gave me the most confused look with a huge smile and a thumbs-up. I don't know what kind of bike it was, it was too dark, but it wasn't a cheap one.

not bad...Off topic....why would you build a 5-600hp FWD motor? do you enjoy wheelspin/understeer? Sounds like a waste of $ IMO I bet the same $ in the 85 FB would be 10 times the car . I am not trying to be a hater but fighting physics is for the birds IMO.
Either way, going fast is fun in just about anything.

I can only get 300hp from it, i bought cast pistons because i ran over my budget of $1,200 on internals. Currently, i have about 200-210whp at 10-11psi, i still need a MAP sensor to raise my boost to 20psi.

I didn't plan dumping money into a Civic, it just kind of happened, it's the car i had at the time and i had a turbo sitting in my room. I'd been reading on them and i got a working turbo set-up for about $300, i just started improving from there.

Q, what do you think you'd run at the track?

Drag racing, it'd be crap, probably 14s, i have no traction. I'm beating cars on the street from a roll that are high to mid 13 second cars.

Made a short video of it's 5-100 (i would've been better off launching it), i've a coolant leak i need a pressure tester to fix, so around 2nd gear it started getting really hot or i would've pegged the speedometer.

I counted it to around 11 seconds (using Media Player's timer).
