acealtima most of those guys with the big hairdyers on honda-tech with the full-race turbo kits might sacrifice some low end but if u saw some vids of those hatches after 4000,5000 rpms..... fukin crazy they showed a vid on honda-tech of a customer who just got the car back and he couldnt even control it once boost kicked in. I saw a vid with a full-race turboed hatch on 9spi beating a twin turboed 350z and a lancer on 22 psi.

Say what you want man, Whether you beleive it or not your piston rings will slowly melt away over time, which will cause your compression to drop. I dont think you have ANY clue to the amount of heat that nitrous puts on your engine.

...and I dont think you have ANY clue on how to use something as simple as a nitrous kit. Anyway, I'm not disagreeing with you on that note, but the keyword there is "slowly"...very slowly actually if you're tuned right. Even though I'm gonna go turbo, I still have a lot of respect for the juice because theres no doubt in my mind that the spray doesnt work. Infact it whoops a lot of a$$ and I know it first hand.

Obviously...hence me saying a few are 'done right'



Don't be to 'shocked' to see a big boost hatchback beating a TT350z from a roll...the whole 'power/weight' ratio is what helps a civic go so fast...it's already got over a 700 pound or so weight advantage over the z, so it can easily take a Z....also, even though the Z's make decent power, it's still has the boost 'un'-friendly vq35de under the hood...not much PSI there to make it worthwhile lol

Also beating a lancer at 22psi?? a tuned 4g63 would eat that at those boost levels...

check out the vid if u dont believe me. Go to honda-tech under the fi forums and in the 2nd or 3rd page they show the vid

why wouldn't i believe you


I see it all the time

lightweight big turbo hatchbacks are fast....there is no reason it should loose to a heavy *** TT 350z

but the lancer must not have been a 4g63 powered car....sorry I just don't buy that psi level

HOWEVER...I'm going to check for the video...have a username for me to clikc??

Autologic routinely turns out 320fwhp honda with stock internal b-series, and has made 360fwp with the full-race kit.

An Evo8 at 22psi is only 3psi more than factory max, and about the normal limit for pump gas on a 4g. Assuming the Evo picked up with other bolt-ons as much as 50awhp, it is still nowhere near competative with a vehicle making as much or more power to the ground while weighing usually almost 400lbs less.

i also forgot to mention it was off a roll..... the lancer is awd so that also helped out the hatch
