yes you heard me right, my friend and i built a 99 chevy prizm up and i bought an 87 fc. we decided to go at it one night on the interstate and he didnt stand a chance. my fc is stock to with the acception of a ram air intake.he kept up to me till about 85-90 then i just smoked him.

 

I dont think they go much faster than 90mph...

 

my friends tops out at like 135 or something because i have a friend thats got a computer and reprograms auto computers. he uped his top speed to liek 150 but it wont get to that speed.

 

Um....210hp prizm?

 

Bullshit on the Prism possibly having the ability to be fast.

 

Bullshit??? No not actually. He'd have to do a swapie like for example a Suzuki Samurai motor if the prizm motor is a 3 piston. When I was 17-18, I had a Suzuki Swift with a Samurai motor,ported & polished, done up internals, 440cc injectors & a Haltech E6k, custom turbo setup with a Blowzilla, & some Mds parts. I beat the **** out of that car then I traded it for my first seven. I had 362hp on 27lbs of boost & 117 race gas. I ran low 11's at the track on dragies. After Im done with my seven, I'm gonna sell it & get a Swift, Sprint, or Starlett & build one of those POS up.

 

Uhh dude the Prizm is a Toyota Corolla. My dad has a 99 corolla, it's I believe a 120hp 1.8 liter. Later they added variable valve timing and bumped it up to like 125, and now it's maybe 130hp. He'd have to swap in a Celica GT-S engine or something to get close to 210 at the flywheel. I don't even know if that's a good swap though. I've never heard of people seriously modding recent Corollas, only thing I've heard of the AE86 Corolla GT-S.

 

I commend you on it. Just not alot of people do that sorta thign with a Prizm (your Prizm seems like the **** however). But I'll say what I meant. I doubt a 210HP Prizm would get rocked by a NA FC. Even since the poster said the ECU was reprogrammed for a 120mph topend (do the spedos even go that high?).

That and my friend locally had a Storm, it had the Impulse swap, most of it all was built up (the turbo however was from a Turbocoupe). But he ran a 15.2 after sinking around $9,000 into his car. he also ran a 35 shot of Nitrous.

I'm just having a hard time believing the poster.

 

I wouldnt admit to running a Prizim.

 

I agree with jager. civic hatches that put about 200whp usually run around mid 13's, full interior at 2000lbs. i don't think the prizm should be far off.
