Multimedia Exchange - Turbo Ls1 vs turbo civic

Civic is a GSR motor t3/t4 on pump gas. this was a good race. http://www.maxpowertuning.com/TurboCamaroVSCivic.wmv

damn,
i thought, "thats an evil camaro," then the lil civic pulls it like crazy...


nice

dam those turbos do sound sick

THAT LIL SUCKER IS FAST!! much respect nice try ls1 :hail:

That was badass. I need to get me one or two of those turbo things. Or atleast one of dem der blow me off valves.

did anyone catch the surging of the civic at the station? nice little car and camaro though i dont like does rear mounted turbos....he needs more that 8.5 pounds to get really effecient...

good race though

Badass Civic........badass LS1

I'd like to know the stats on the Civic, 'cause that STS Camaro shoulda tore a hole in that thing.

That civic is probably only laying down around 320 or so........but that hatch weighs absolutely nothing

exactly, its all power to ratio that matter. You can have 300 hp on a camaro, and 300 hp on a civic, but the civic will smoke him cuz of the weight advantage.

well then its time to put ur Fbods on some diets then eh ;)

both cars had 2 passengers... i think the fbod owner said with him in the car w/ all the other crap on the car his car weighs in around 4,000-4,100 lbs :eek2:

it was a good run. 2nd run is sorta mis-leading cuz he let off after i panned the camera foward...but the civic was also spinning thru 3rd (205-50-15 falken azenis) so he didnt really get to lay into it until 4th gear

the civic def makes more than 320whp tho...

That LS1 got worked HARD.

i dont like imports all that much but that little car can pull. Smoked that ls1. I do wonder though how they would both do from a dig and not a roll. Any thoughts on that?

slick to slick would be pretty close.. remember he makes 500/560 but its also 4000+ w/ a driver.. whereas this civic even with full interior, ac, the spare and all that other crap that ppl usually take out weighs in w/ driver around 2600 so..

1/8 mile the camaro would prolly take the civ... 1/4 .. well u saw what happens when the civic hits top of 3rd and into 4th lol..

That's one bad little Honda right there.

wow both cars are really cool

Yeah I have a though on that, the Civic would've gotten pummeled from an actual drag race from a stop. You can make all the horsepower you want but most of tin can owners spend no money on traction/suspension, so they are stuck to racing from highway speeds

did u totally miss what I wrote, or do u like being ignorant?

how do u know what the civic has at all other than whats listed in the vid? do u personally know that the civic doesnt have the suspension to go from a stop?

like i said, any high powered car wont be able to hook on regular old street tires. and i do mean street tires.. he's not on a drag radial or an et street type tire.. so what do u expect.

slick to slick would still be a good race... try reading the thread :)

Looks like another Honda owner crying about suspension and traction. You do realize it isn't the F-body guys fault that you don't spend money for suspension or good tires?

thats a low 10 second honda against a mid to high 11 second camaro. Nothing to be ashamed of for the camaro. I mean I've seen videos of same setup intergras and other hatchbacks that have spanked twin turbo vettes and vipers on the top end.

Um no, its maybe an 11 sec honda vs a 12 sec camaro. Both those guys are from buffalo.... The camaro ran a BEST of 12.6 @114 or so. The vid doesn't do very much justice. It basically shows a camaro driver let off as soon as the honda starts to pull.

hey boys remember this video?? we'll, lets just say the power of a GOOD tune is crucial.... before i was makin 505/561 on the stock engine with rediculus timing at 8psi, and well, the graph looked like this:

yuck... as u can see, my power dropped off right after ~4700rpms, on top of that, i had detenation top end. i didnt even have a top end
as a result, i had a not so fast car, and a blown engine.

since, i have rebuilt the engine, or at least the bottom end. im 19 so i can only do this in incriments. now i have stock displacement at 8.65CR, a shitty cam which my builder bought behind my back 220/218 114 .564, and stock heads. i took it to CARTEK which i've got to say was the best decision ive made yet for the car. Julio is a genius. im keeping the car extremely conservative right now. With 8.65CR, im running only 8psi, and have only 440whp, compared to my previous 505whp. let me tell u, the car is 100x better than before. as all u no, hp numbers mean absolutely shit. Over the winter im getting meth and adding boost, and soon after will get some AFR's and the right cam to make some serious power.
Unfortunatly i cant get a race with the civic cuz he's hiding ever since my buddy Firehawk853 came out with his 630whp procharged ls1.
but, here's a little taste of what a great tune can do:

i think u'll hear which car's mine.lol ....the car that pulls me is the 630whp firehawk..that car is badass. 630>440

heres me vs a supercharged lt1. his car goes pretty good. he claims his tranny shifted slow, which i dont doubt, but no traction for half the race < slow tranny shft. u can hear my tires in 1st and 2nd, how im off and on and get all squirly. its the 2nd race. enjoy

lesson to be learned.... get a good tune

Civics Still Suck!
