Turbo H22 hatchback Last night a buddy of mine brought out his Civic hatch with a stock H22 with a T3/T4 turbo running 6# of boost. We were going to the local street races when he just had to pick on me. We were going about a 50 mph when we both dropped it..... To my suprise we were dead even, until higher up in the RPM range he started to edge me out just barely. Looked at the N20 gauge and it was only at 550 psi 
no sprayin for me. All and all it was a cool race. neat lil car if i say so myself

Warm up that juice!!
6# of boost is nothin on an import motor. H22 is the 200hp Prelude motor, if I'm not mistaken? Wait til he ups the boost about 10 psi. Then that car will be insane?

yea my bottle warmer is broke at the moment.... im quite unhappy about that. But yea he is putting a new head, cams, valves, cam gears, intake manifold and a thicker head gasket this week, with a boost controller so it could get interesting. And about it sucking....... it didnt really because he is a good friend of mine and he isnt cocky about it, he knows if i sprayed him it would've been over 
stuff happens and its all in good fun anyways

yeah power to weight ratio i can take a 4cylinder out of a chevett and put it on my gocart and that would be plenty fast. ... probably take out a stock n/a civic 
yeah civics have pritty good cylinder walls and valve train so if he has a macheened intake he could run 23psi without a worrie........ theres always been a bug in the back of my brain that keeps on itching at me to build up a del sol with a turbo 6 cylinder ..... ah well i guess ill sacrifice the weight to have that nice deep grumbel from an 8 cylinder.
good run though

^yeah when it ran that time some dude was like "YESS that's a good way to blow $100,000"
yeah and with them it's either ricers or hardcore heads...we have alot of 11 sec street/strip type.
they also have the aftermarket support from hell, + the rediculous weight advantage.
the preludes with the h22a hardly ever get anywhere..their engines are still medicocre at best (honda), but a forged engine big turbo and next to no weight will always move a car fast.

FWD-thats why it really isnt worth making an import into a drag racer.
... hmm, maybe I should make my jetta rwd... hehe... Or... I could get an LS1 instead...
