hey guys. im new to the board. i have a 95 GT coupe with FRPP 9MM Wires, 3.73's, K&N, O/R X pipe, Flowmasters, 2500 Stall converter, and a shift kit. i also added a 96 cobra hood to take off some wieght in the front. im running 285/40R17's in the rear to help me hook up. theres a kid at my school with a turbo Civic SI thats only running 2-4 pounds of boost. apparently he cat run anymore than 4. he wants to run and i honestly dont know what to say. i kinda laughed when i heard he wanted to run on only 2 pounds. what should i do? can he take me? dont flame me too bad, this is a serious question

His motor is probably about to $hit. Run him and then laugh when you see his head gasket blow up in you rear view mirror. With 3.73's he shouldn't really have a chance. Ditch your spare, jack and anyother extra weight stuff the day you run him.

Thats the B16 motor, 160hp, 110 lbs of torque, weighing in at 2600lbs, says it runs a 15.5 stock. With the turbo hes probably in the high 14's, so he does stand a chance. You'll smoke him off the line, but he might beat you in the top end.

EXACTLY. Provided your car is mechanically sound, you'll get him. My old roommate ran 13.4s on 10lbs of boost with plain jain street tires in his Si. Granted thats more boost but still. Don't under estimate what you're up against though. Do it from a dig. Good luck.

go race him and make sure his g/f is in the car with him. with that stall converter and tires he has no chance. just so you know for every 1psi=10HP so what hes pushing 160HP now?!? go rape him...shit if those facts are the truth race him for money and his girl. :rockyou:

Definetly do it from a stop, no bs roll starts. From the stop you should have a good lead on him before his turbo gets the chance to build up boost.

I had a '92 Civic a couple years ago (I know, I know but I had it for the gas milage). It was a hatch back with a B18C motor in it out of an Acura Integra GSR (175 hp and I think 140 on the torque) and the guy who had it before me ran a 14.3 (about 9.50's in the eight), all motor, but that is a 1.8L instead of the 1.6L. It would absolutely smoke a B16 though! Another guy around here had a Si civic with a B16 and turbo with 5 psi and he ran 9.60's in the eight. Civic with GSR and no turbo ran 9.55 in eight. Friend with '00 Mustang with off road pipe, flowmasters and cold air intake ran 9.40 in eight. I think alot has to do with your driving and the other cars driving, but you should not have to worry too much if it is a B16 though.

LMAO Get this i kinda had the same experience.

I work with this guy at work he drives many cars, a lowered truck a 4 door honda accord with body kit blah blah blah. well he was in his truck and cut thru the parking lot to beat me to the street well the next big road he had a 8 car lengths in front i went full throttle...well my buddy was behind me in a truck..i flew by this guy...long story short my buddy and him caught a light and he asked my buddy why he didnt race me (he has a 4 door f150 my friend was like are you on crack? The guy proceeded to say he wanted to race me for $500

Skip to today. i saw him after work and i asked what he has done to his accord. he said he would be racing a civic thats "in the family" :noes: i asked again what do you have done? he said put up $500 and find out...i told him make it a grand cash and lets play...he claims this civic out ran a pulleyed terminator by 4 cars from a stop..get this it has full inetior, automatic 4 door. :hammer: i was like ooook. i said well i should be getting my injectors tune and heads by august you want to play then? he said your stock right.......... :gtfo: is this guy serious? i went WOT on him with a 2 3/8 pulley...i said no man Kenne Bell Powered.....he was like O...you have a badass car man. sounds great. i asked again when he wants to race for a grand...he drove off.


im glad you put that ricer to bed. :slap:

I meant to ask how is he only making 4lbs of boost? did he put 4 tornadoes in a row in his intake? or something?
