a couple of months ago i was handed the keys to a 190kw@wheel civic with k24... was pretty much built off its nuts... i took it for a wrap and yes there was slight traction loss through 3rd gear but it was somehow missing the "fun" factor, things werent zooming past me and all i can hear is a high pitched vtec screaming.

now thinking back to when i had my dc2r turbo... mmmm.... nothing like the sound of vtec hitting at 4700rpm then the wastegate cracking open at 5000rpm... damn then seeing 8500rpm limiter, that was a "fun" car to drive. didnt have a built motor, just standard internals which pumped out 268kw@wheels@16psi on drag tune (5th gear wheel spin) managed a 12.2@125mph, thats with a bogged launch. i use to drive it everyday with a street tune of 222kw@wheels on 11psi and never missed a beat. my ex gf used to drive it alot too but never hit boost. even once had a lamborghini gallardo pull up next to me on the cumberland hwy... poor guy.... put him to shame at the end of 4th gear by half a car length.

so yea, thats my 2 cents.... i think i want another boosted honda....
Sorry but how were you pushing 16psi on standard internals/compression. I wouldnt believe that till i sore it.
