Hmmmmm.... Time for me to chime in.

I've got to direct a question at inferno, since I actually trust most of what comes out of his mouth. Do you really think a stock '92 Civic with just a turbo can do what this guy claims?

I believe you posted previously that the Civic's axles could handle 400hp, but the tranny couldn't. I also think slapping only a wild *** turbo onto a '92 Civic would more likely lead to 250hp max and at best 13's without other engine work. Also, seems like your car is supposed to trap in the 120's with only 350hp, how is he getting low 130's with another 130hp? Just like it came from the factory with a turbo is BS in my opinion. That thing would have to be running an ungodly amount of boost.

I'm calling BS on the factory Civic making 480hp without extensive mods, and a different engine altogether.
