01xtreme Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Pretty quick looking car...my question is why does everyone make a big deal about a honda getting better gas mileage. I can understand it with normal cars, but if you're building a turbocharged freeway racer who gives a shit about gas mileage? Is that just as a justification if you get walked on? Like a said, it looks like a quick little car, and I wouldn't mind having one to play around in, but im just wondering what the deal is with honda racers talking about MPG. My System: Pioneer AVH-P3200BT 4-Dayton 7 inch reference series (front doors) 8-Onkyo 3/4 inch tweeters (dash) 1-Sundown Audio 100.4D (mids/highs) 2-18" BTL's (for now) Crescendo 3kwp (for sale) Complete rebuild coming soon...

Like a said, it looks like a quick little car, and I wouldn't mind having one to play around in, but im just wondering what the deal is with honda racers talking about MPG.I know nothing of the sort. i was getting 90 miles on a full tank, but that's because I couldn't keep my foot out of it. That was also on a much smaller engine, less boost, less fuel delivery then I have now. That was my old 1.6 liter D16z6 single cam motor, rc 440cc injectors, Turbonetics T04E 60 trim compressor on 18lbs on the street puting down 380whp via chassis dyno ( street trim with two 15s in the back it weighed 2200lbs + or - 20lb acuracy ). Stopped for gas 4 times one day ( full tank each time ). Now it's converted to a track only car, 2liter DOHC LS VTEC full built, bigger turbo up to 32lbs of boost depending on track conditions,1000cc injectors, Walbro fuel pump, MSD Digital 6 w/ external coils, F.A.S.T. engine management, Prodrive spool, 24.5x8x13 MT slicks etc. Was too fun to drive on the street getting me into trouble, and I cared less about mpg because I couldn't keep off the throttle anyway. Anyone who has felt the surge of serious boost will tell you. Unless they're putting around out of boost all day, I'm shure the fuel mileage is alright, but what's the fun in that! You have to burn alot of fuel for alot of boost period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datbenz Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Not a Honda fan but I have to give him props for the clean look and 400whp is nothing to fuck with. I agree with 01extreme, fuel efficiency is a faggish argument when discussing about highly modified cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fourlug Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 why must you hate on honda? its probably faster than your car, gets better gas mileage, and is more reliable.Not as reliable as you'd think on stock sleeves... But that looks like a wicked eg! His thread on h-t says its sold now btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes the head painter at my work so the quality in work is flawless. Hes also got individual throttle bodies which give it a sick sound and look overall. Hes pushing around 400hp with naturally aspirated as well. Diablo Audio Technologies Fi Car Audio Ascendant Audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, maybe if he has some SERIOUS mods, even then it really wouldn't be suitable for the street. Turbo ftw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E a r t h Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 N/A B-series seem to hit a wall in the 320-330whp range on methanol. that's why the K-series took over on N/A applications. The N/A pro categories are all using K power with well over 350whp or 400 at the crank. 9.2s 1/4 mile passes have been made with N/A K-series power. B-series are awesome budget platforms, but K is where it's at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
