5.0fox said:why not just drop a turbo b16c with a forged stroker bottom end in a dart block with a huge front mount intercooler and turbo pushing 30 psi with methanol injection and an N2o intercooler sprayer running 110 octane race gas with hondata. then gut it and build a full tube chasis with a glass body and lexan windows. so you will have a similar combo to your competitors. and dont expect it to last long enough to get to your first oil change. then to top it all off hang a license plate on it and call it a street car.
gojonnygo said:well if i get a 69-74 351w all i need is the harness and the computor to make it fuel injected right? i can use a 69-74 block and put on an aftermarket intake and what not for later model efi? im trying to stay away from carbs b/c i dont know much about them.
thanks
gojonnygo said:the car i have has a decent body. the junk yard around here wants 150 for a motor and harness hopefully i can find one in those years. so the 69-74 blocks are the same as the later efi blocks right?
thanks
Dont_be_an_a$$ said:Well I will try to be civic about this. Im sure I will get some smart ass remarks and useless rubbish that no one wants to read. I stumbled upon this thread and found it a shame that people are so misinformed about imports. I own a import but am a fan of all cars in general. I read mustang magazines and like to keep up with the scene as a whole. So maybe you all will just hear me out. If you have a useless comment to my post, just do me and everyone else a favor and just dont type it. This post is not meant to start a pissing contest, I thought I would just share actual information.
There are many hondas and imports that make "lots" (lots is a very flexible word) of power and are daily driven. My tuner in fact dyno'd his civic (full interior, only thing missing is AC) at 480whp. Althought he does not drive it everyday (has a nicer daily driver he drives) its is streetable and comes out often. This car should make tens this season. It ran mid 11's last with almost half the horsepower. Remember that most serious drag race hondas wieigh in sub 2000 lbs. Physics should tell you all that soemthing weighing less doesnt need as much power to get it going quicker.
I could show you link after link after link of cars that make huger power and are reliable. There are so many hondas (alot of rice which is really a shame) that cover up the good cars. I agree with most of you that there are alot of ****tards that ruin it for the import community and make everyone think we all like maxwell coffee can exhausts, UFO lights, and lambo doors. Fact is, if you really get into the import group and look around, you will see that most of us dont. We like going fast like you. Same can be said about domestic drivers. There is a common misconception that you are all mullet hillbillies. While we all know that is not true, just like the ricers, its still there. I think everyone needs to become a little more open minded and do a little more research before they are so fast to talk bad about another car. You might be surprised one day when a little ricer burner pulls up to you and whores you.
Daggar said:I don't think that anyone disputes the existance of a "fast import". Thing is, it's like finding a diamond in the rough! The mountains of crap that need be waded through in order to find that rare street light warrior, I tend to liken to crossing all the hills that must me climbed before reaching the summit of Everest. I wish I had a dollar for every time I was told that Import X was a 10 second street car only to discover that his mods include a set of Bosch Platimums and a picnic table bolted to the hatch. Your battle/arguement is not with us, it's within. A forum like this one is pretty harsh on trolls (meaning wannabe domestics with nothing to show for mods other than a Saleen wing and inducted cowl) but they seem to run unchecked in the import forums. Were I to get my ass handed to me by someone driving an import, I'd shake his hand or at minimum render the appropriate nod. The thing is... That's not happened yet and what worse is that my car doesn't even come close to what the standard is for power and traction around here. In other words: Your time would be better spent attempting to educate your own. Most here love cars and are on constant vigil to get a glimplse of that "Yetti" import that we see mostly and almost exclusively on T.V.
Cheers!

Dbeck002 said:lol N/A low 10s? Your asking for some crazy setup that isnt streetable...
best way i can think is a 460 BB with 10.5:1 compression on 93 octane and a 6000 RPM cam... Then again that wouldnt be too streetable either. hmmm
gojonnygo said:im not looking for 700 hp. im just looking for mid- low 10s. and it doesnt have to be streetable. i was trying to stay away from a 460 b/c parts are cheaper and easier to find for a 351.
