ricers are funny...i like the ones that show up at meets with loudass stereos and pop there hoods and have the nastiest engine bay with neon blue wire covers...and have sideways license plates and lambo doors...if u notice lambos dont even have lambo doors anymore...lol ricers...

Oh hell yeah! Think of all the neons, wings, and body kitz I could buy with all that!!!! :eek5:

Yeah sorry.. when I get to ranting look out. lol.

LOL HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA>.............OMG!!! i didn't think you'll come back like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe I could get some naaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwz too! Then I'll setup my honda for drift y0!

Two: I never buy stuff of ebay, I am building a turbo kit right now using a T28 that is being rebuilt and bored out and a cast iron manifold from flyin miata.

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

You must have missed that he not only has a full MS ecu but he ALSO bumped his timing to 14. I don't think this kid even knows what he is talking about...

I'm wondering more specifically how his wing suddenly allows him to outhandle me lol. Well I guess if he adds a "bored out" turbo i'm screwed :(

Notice that not once did he call the car a Miata. IMHO, the only US-based people who do that, are ricers of the type most commonly found on CR.net.

wait.....what? I bet an LSVTEC running a big holset at 8psi will hand you your ass on a platter with a cherry on top.

Wouldn't need a big holset ... some of the ignorance out here/there is amusing. (not pointed at you Slo, I've almost had a few holsets in my hands to use on my beater/turbo civic)

I hope he takes my tuning advice.

The crvtech on a t3/t4 at 5psi in an eg ran 13.9 at the track and lost to me..

And ya a big ass holset ls/vtec at 8psi would likely be close to 300hp but stock ls/vtecs arent shit and if it was anything like the crvtech setup I dont think he would hand me my ass 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.

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...

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 :p) 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 :p

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.

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 ;)

B20's are generally CRV motors.... most people who do that swap usually do B16 head with B20 bottom block, considered a "poor man's" type R, because it really does make that kind of power, with a little more weight in the engine....

as for low boost... there have been some doing 300HP+ at the same setup on a honda.... i've seen an ls/vtec fully built do high 12's at the drag strip lol.... All motor too

i dont know what's worse, a b16 making 200whp at 10psi or a crx with 200whp running 14.0's at 104.

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.

Wow. I have a soft spot for vtech too.

They make great cordless phones. :rolleyes: :greddy2:

I'm totally speechless for the first time in my life.


So I should bump my timing up to 14 degrees? :confused:

You are so PWNED!
