ok well my ideot borther wants to race me, he has a civic hatch back with an integra GSR motor in it, he has ported/polished intake, and thats about it, its V-Tec also,
any way i ran his settup on desktop dyno and it says 152 hp at the wheels, i ran my 350 and it says 311 hp, he want to race me, well i told him after he gets a new O2 cencor and after i got 500 miles on my engine i will take him on the freeway and race, then on the light afterwards comming home,
so what are your predictions on the outcome on the highway, i got 50 bucks riding on this and please be blunt.

 

If you only have 500 miles on the engine i would give it till at least 1000 miles of breaking it in...let those rings set man...then your car will run a hell of a lot better for the duration of its life...trust me...why be impatient and ruin what could be a little more power in the outcome...oh yes and dont baby it for 1000 miles take it over hills around turns but dont get on it too much id say at least 1/2 throttle would be sufficent and yes do all of those different conditions..highway...street (aka stop and go) hills curvy roads...just break it in man its worth it...as for the race whats up with the trannys???? are both automatic or manual or what...oh and we could use a list of all the mods to make things better for a prediction...dont always trust a desktop dyno either they are sometimes way off


(edit) oh yeah if your taking him on the freeway watch out for the top end of those things....they love to revv and high rpms

 

i know about their gay *** V-crap, any ways


i have 350 heads, ported/polshed with 1.94 valves
summit cam its 100-04 on desktop dyno and their catalog
edelbrock preformer intake and 600cfm carb.
auto tranny w/corvette servo and trans-go shift kit

he has polished intake manifold
cold air intake
stock GSR
manual

so any more info wanted??

and i think i waill wait to get 1000, should only take about a week and a half. to bad about cost of freaking gas...

 

The b18 motors in those GSR's are about 170 HP.. Figure around 180 with his "mods"..

In a civic hatch weighing only about 2300-2400 lbs (not sure on actual numbers, I just know they are light)... I'd say he is probly running somewhere in the mid 14's if he can drive and if everything is working right.. Could be lower, but I'm not positive on that..

If you race him off the line, it should put enough distance that he will not be able to catch you... Depending on how your car runs you should be able to take him easily..

 

I'd think you'd kill him

 

you should have him by like 6 car lengths, its a guess

you will beat him though!

 

I may get flamed for this but you said you're gonna race him on the freeway right? I wouldn't be so sure of a garuanteed win, now a dead stop race you'll smoke him like a pack of cheap Newports..

 

Dead stop....hes toast....
Highway...watch out

 

well ive driven his car before a few days ago on the highway, its freaking slow even when its in V-tec, i took my camaro on it and put down 1/2 throttle and it pulled just as hard. i cant wait to get my miles on it so i can put the throttle all the way down. :lala:

 

where do u get cheap newports from, around here they are 4$+

 

LOL, it was just a phrase, I don't smoke, too expensive and a filthy habbit...besides you do realize Newports have a ****load of fiberglass in them used as a filler right?

I'll pass on them :sillylol:

 

well im going to tell him that we will do it the ol fashoned way, from a stop, or a roll, not this highway crap, i will race him from a stop on the side of the highway up to lets say 80 or so, thats about it, im not trying to be an ideot.

 

i just started smoking this last saturday, and i am already quitting. it serves me no good..
