Death by Hatchback

Turbo with 17lbs. He wouldn't make any claims on hp numbers although I told all about my car because i'm not trying to hide anything. He said he has $1,500 invested in the motor thus far. Nothing too outlandish I guess. Pretty fast little car though. Next time I will know not to run you on just motor, unless you want to take that turbo off and run me while you are on just motor. And i'm tired of racing from your roll. We will go from my roll next time.

What the hek are you talking about? Theres a local that went 10.9s with a singel cam that had a forged bottom end and a nice turbo setup.
Singel cams need to have a nicly matched turbo, and there pretty fucken quick in a light hatch...
Alot of times people are putting the wrong turbos on those cars and you see really slows ones

His car was fast thou. It is a 1.6 SOHC. Stock block, but thats all that is stock I think.

When honda guys say stock block, most of the time it means they do not have a re sleeved motor.
That means just pistons and rods, once you start getting into HUGE power numbers, if your block isnt sleeved, it will crack the cyc walls

In response to the "he won't run you for money:"
I doubt he will either, because with a full bottle I will beat him. I am pretty sure he knows this and doesn't want to gamble with $$.

Maybe because honda motors are very good? Please get out more in life
