Three: I didn't think I would do anything but it really does. Once you get to about 60 the back end just sticks, I change lanes on the highway with no body roll, I guarantee that after 60 (if not before) I would out handle your mx5

And ya a big *** holset ls/vtec at 8psi would likely be close to 300hp but stock ls/vtecs arent **** and if it was anything like the crvtech setup I dont think he would hand me my *** at all, like I said low boost (I guess I should have been more specific about low boost, and added not low boost on a huge turbo lol) but w/evs I have respect for turbo hondas but they arent the holy grail.

Hondas aren't the holy grail, but the motors are amazing considering their cost/performance ratio (when u aren't buying namebrand junk). Fuel sippers to big HP (consider the size, don't do any lsx quoting
) builds, they are quite impressive motors. As much fun as I plan to have with my miata, I wish the head flowed better and didn't have a crappyish oil pump gearset, and etc... I'm still building the car up, so I'm not completely honda biased

You probably ran against someone who claimed a b20vtec with an ebay turbo kit and/or didn't know how to drive worth a damn. I run mid 13s on 185 all seasons with my 1.6l turbo civic, with aweful runs...

And owning a jdm b16 ek, I know exactly how you feel about the engine/ heads, my miata smokes the civic but I have a soft spot for vtech and the smile it gives me

Nope bonified crvtech, not positive abou the turbo kit though, and I dont know if he has an lsd tranny, on slicks with an open diff a jdm b16 t3 at 10psi(dyno at 200whp at 7psi) crx was running 14 flat with a 102-04 mph and bad driving lol.

I've had 3 boosted hondas and helped turbocharge a bunch more of my friends and they're nothing to scoff at. My last turbo hatch was ~200whp and got 38mpg in the city boosting everywhere. I'm happy when I get 22mpg in the city with the miata.

So I should bump my timing up to 14 degrees?
