The B16a is a very stout motor. I know a few people who use them. Performance parts are horribly expensive for them but they can be quite impressive with the right combo. Even if its not a type R motor it still couldnt have been cheap to build.

C'mon guys...let's give some credit. I see SO MANY gutless imports running 15's and 16's that consider themselves to be fast that I HAVE to respect the ones that do turn good times. Honda's CAN turn 12's....any car that runs a 12 gets my respect...especially when it's a Honda. That doesn't mean I want one...I just respect it.

I do get tired of the I/H/E SI, now I run 10s crowd, but I do respect, and am interested, in fast cars of any brand.
BTW, why does it seem that every powerful (modified) Honda's dyno graph look like it was drawn by my grandmother, IE, shakey, not to mention peaky? |

No **** , that dyno sheet is totally bogus! What the hell are you posting BS for? Dumbass! Torque and HP have to cross at 5250rpm, by the laws of physics.
Ah hell, I noticed that before, but I must have read it wrong! Crap. Half way into my numbers crunching I went from one line to the other. Dang it [This message has been edited by Unit 5302 (edited 01-09-2001).] [This message has been edited by Unit 5302 (edited 01-09-2001).] |

That's odd, my dyno sheet looks nothing like the one pictured above. Why are the scales not equal? Why is the "curve" not a curve? And what's up with all the spikes?
Lets see, I have 289 RWHP & 312 RWTQ so I guess my Stang would be running low 12's and 110+ mph if I could just figure out how to drop say...1000 lbs!!! Later, E ------------------ 1991 5.0 LX Coupe -37,800 miles 13.17 @ 106.14 mph w/ 2.138 60' Pro-Charger D-1SC on the way!!! |

That's weak man!
Also, whenever i pull up on suspension-less econo car like the black one you posted, i have no choice but to offer them a srewdriver and wood screws.. he'll need these to fasten the doors back on after i blow them off at the next stop light!!! Furthermore, doesn anyone have any proof that fart cans make more power asides from lot's of noise? "George Foreman rice cooker - attaches to your exhaust for annoying bumble bee effect - can be heard within 3 square miles" I think the LIZARD KING should say something here. |

I think it's the funiest damm thing how we you guys took over tangy stangy's post and booted him out. Like going to a party and kicking the host out of his own house I also think that dyno looks really fuced up, all the peaks and sh1t. BTW: if these cars are really running those times, how can a stock trans in am import hold up to that kind of power? Serious question, i really would like to know Light Em Up!!!

Their transmissions don't hold up that well. They are supposed to but they don't. My buddy has a Honda CRX that I put a turbo on (non v-tec) (T03/04 hybrid). He spent lots o' money on the shortblock to handle 20+ lbs of boost. He was only running 10lbs of boost (@190-200 at the wheels) and blew his trans. I have yet to take a hell run yet, but when I do I'll let you know. BTW he said I could drive it with full 20+ lbs of boost.

My chum had a newer 4WD Turbo Talon.
In three years i'm told he went through 3 tranny's. It's like... only drive it hard twice a year, or else the driveline grenades. As for the 'Stang... i wonder how many hundreds of thousands of launches, burnouts, doughnuts and powershifts it would take to acheive a driveline failure. |

I don't know about anyone else in this club, but how come i've killed 2 hondas that look exactly like that black one? they were lowered with big wheels and tires... although one gave me a run for my money (cause screwed up shifting auto :|) I really like how those cars look, but i don't like any type of imports... most of the stuff is cheap as$ sh!t... yeah the engines last a long time, but it's all about what the engine is designed for. I know of plenty of guys who are running their 5.0 V8's with 200K miles on it and it still doesn't smoke or use oil! Dependable vs. speed... what do you want? economy = dependability... you do the math! why do you think hondas suck at street racing, but they are said to be very dependable? It's all about DESIGN!!

I was at a buddies shop (for oil patch trucks) I was helping my buddy fix his brakes and one of his co-workers was in there with a 2 year old TSi AWD Talon. It was a nice looking car, but he was changing out his 2nd clutch and 1st transmission. I've had my car for 2 years and drive it hard and yet my tranny and clutch are fine.
I'm not an import hater or anything, but I've heard this story one too many times to believe that some of these cars are able to hang out with mustangs, LS1, Corvettes etc, etc. I'm not saying imports can't hold up, but some of the lower cost imports that everyone thinks are so great have not faired so well. Just my experience. ------------------ White 1995 Mustang GT Dynomax Cat-Back, Offroad H-pipe, K&N Filters w/o Air Silencer My 1995 Mustang GT |
