Mods for 13's

[barefootbonzai]

i realised this topic is pretty dumb, maybe because it was like 2am.

Lets make this easy
whats 115kw at the wheels street trim cabable of with a good driver?

like everyone has said, there's too many variables. if you want to know, take to down the strip and find out.

i dont have 115kw atw , my car is standard thats why im asking about these things.
A certain amount of power is needed to be able to reach a certain time.. Without driver and variables you know the car itself and the build should be cabable of a certain time.

If someone has 300kw atw and runs 13s, you know its really good for 11's.
so im wondering what 115kw atw is good enough for.


I dont know why this is so stupid or hard to get an answer for.

When manufacturors build a car they know what power to weight ratio will achieve what approx 0-100 or 1/4mile on paper. Without factoring in a shit or good driver.

The thing that everyone is trying to tell you though is that a given amount of power does not equal a certain time. There are many many other factors involved. eg. weight, tyres, driver, track, gearbox ratios, diff ratio, just to name a few.

For instance we have run a 12.45 with only 130fwkw. I know there are heaps of people with more power running less times. Your question does not cater for such scenarios. Each car is different, so each will run a different time.

Its what time a given combination will run, not a given amount of power.

i understand that, but ive said street trim civic coupe and im not looking for a specific time, just an approximate.

A standard weight/gearbox/wheels/suspension Honda civic coupe with 115kw atfw is making enough power to be cabable of running approximately.... ?

[grumpy rooster]

Well then, if you go back a page and read my last post you will find an approximate time.

thanks

Now im wondering an approximate cost for this set up using decent brands

#1 – Lightweight flywheel $400-$600
#2 – Heavy duty clutch $300-$600
#3 – Lower final drive (Eg: ATS) ???????????
#4 – Intake (CAI – Eg: Injen / Mugen) $300-$500
#5 – Header + cat + cat-back system $2000-$3000
#6 – Spec C camshafts / valve springs / adjustable cam pulleys / oil pump gear / ????

fuel pump - optional / fuel pressure regulator - optional /
ECU / dyno tuning. $1200+

That's pretty much it, another 2 or 3 thousand for #6. You should probably sell your car and buy S13 or something. You'll hit your 13 sec in street trim no worries. Wanting to get your honda fast is a wast of time unless you actually enjoy it, cause the only good part is the journey. End of the day, it's just a shitty honda.

115 kw atw won't get you into the 13's. You'll probably do about 14.5.

if you want power then turbo it.

hondas are not shitty


approx - $8000 from pocket = approx 115kwatw = approx low 14's

conclusion of my ridiculous topic:

Less money/more power = Forced Induction.
(lol even though i already knew that or maybe not insurance/resale value/pretol?? HmMmMmm.)


Good waste of OzHonda bandwith

Now do i spend more for less power just to stay true to my N/A roots that is the question...

to be continued.

thats just cost for the item. Remember to include labour which kills the bill!

All u need is proabably a crazy final drive, breather mods and strip ya a/c p/s and you should net 13's.
