Somone had a white swapped civic that got around 158?hp &115tq on sat. I think. Not bad numbers for a super light hatch. It sucks that the thing was louder than Daves car though.

Little hatch w/ blue stripes?

[stephen bradley]

yup

[stephen bradley]

Did anyone that was there get a little woozy from the exaust? I went home after words and put on some greatful dead:)

shit man when i get home from doing nothin i put on the greatful dead just sit back and let the good times roll.......was it the civic that the guy in a wheel chair had???

[Dangler]

That civic would just howl - loud car when the VTEC would kick in. The exhaust made me a little woozy too

BTW, i got real sick sunday morning - diagnosed with influenza type A - hopefully i wasn't contagious while i was there. I'll blame it on the waste oil that i fell into LOL

I did a little editing (thx for vid wannabe)

[Joel]

you and your fancy video editing

[My NOva]

what program did u use therejim??? and does he have a vid of it with nos???

[Joel]

He didn't run n2o that I'm aware of. It's fricken hilarious. A under 600 pony supra is running faster times than supra's upwards of 900 horse. Way to go Dave!

[integra_gsr98]

Cool. I did the swap in that civic hatch. Nice to see that he got a decently strong motor at least.

I was just talking to the owner of BoostLogic this morning. He dyno'd almost identical to me with a 71mm turbo (my turbo is 72mm). He made ~570rwhp on boost. He had a lockup converter and with the converter locked up he made 730rwhp! I knew there is a lot of loss through a high stall converter, but that seems just crazy.

[dynotune]

I don't doubt that dave- the converters soak up soooo much power- alot of good race powerglides only take 20-30 HP to turn (which is minute) and I find alot of drag race guys that put 900 on the engine dyno only turn 550-650 on the chassis dyno. Time for 5 speed dyno time again???

I was saying to Stephen and TJamz that your turbo should be making 700+ rwhp. I was trying to figure out if the timing was conservative, the boost real low, or I had my numbers backwards.

Makes more sense now. Can you lock your converter up????

[DaveH]

That lockup stuff is like $3000... too expensive for my cheap azz.

Andy, don't forget to add me to the dyno top ten now! I may bolt in the 5-speed and head down.... we'll see.

You got a clutch that will hold it?? BTW, Chris in Bismark is buying a Carbon \ Carbon - borrow it quickly with my tranny and make a few pulls.

$3k for lockup is ridiculous.

Timeslips are better than dyno graphs
