I lost to a 91 Prelude Si when I had my N/A 4 banger, both of ours were 5 speed and he beat me by about a car. All I had done to my car was a k&n filter & straight pipe dual exhaust, but now I've upgraded to a 2000 V6
Add 19lb injectors out of a 5.0 and a fuel regulator and you should be fine for about 6-9.5 lbs of boost. the stock wastegates are set at 9.5 I believe. Make sure it is intercooled. You really should swap the pistons and rods but you should be fine if you don't get stupid in it.
So, you get machine work done for free, your willing to tear into a motor, spend aweful amounts of time and effort on it and for less than 1/10th the return in hp (time,effort,money) than a turbo motor? Sure, people will laugh at you, not for lack of effort, but your trying to dig to china with a spoon.
Yeah I guess....but I honestly don't mind spending time on the car....for the sake of education. Yeah, a turbo swap is considerable....it's actually very considerable....but we'll see what happens in the future.
There is a guy in a local town who has a stock as hell looking 87-93 4cyl stang (N/A) with little civic kill stickers all over his door. Funny as hell! Go kick his ass!!!!
I don't get it guys. Mines not a rocket but it's not as slow as you guys are talking. Even like it is now it's put down a few v-6 competetors, and one really crappy v-8. But I've blown the doors off several civics and other such cars, what gives? I'm geared kind of low I guess...
