hey guys im new to the import tuner world, so tell me whats fast, like can you guys run 9's all engine, i see that acoupel guys have track numbers down liek 13.9 quarters runnin boost, and like i can run that almost stock, now i know my engine is twice the size, but whats fast for you guys? Just curious
"Fast" is somewhere near or below 10, but it'll cost you to get there. C5SpoonEG is in the mid to low 12's if I remember correctly, and that's all motor. A boosted GSR with nothing but a head swap, a stock Type R cam, a B16 tranny, and an LSD can hit low 12s/high 11s all day on 10 psi (give or take based on turbo and trim.)
And your engine is plenty more than twice the size.
It's a local guy that works at the speed shop here in town. It's a built JDM B16 with I believe 17psi. LSD, mad fuel management... the works. I think he's pushing 400wHp. He said he is running 9100 rpm when he crosses the 1/4 mile. Holy hell.
since youre talking about quarter mile times, i woudl have to say that it varies by the car. "Fast" is in the 9s for any car, but say that someone is running an NA civic, i feel that low 12s/high 11s is fast. Boosted, i would say that those times shift into the mid to low 11s. However, for a V8 car like mine or yours, fast is 10s. My car is running low compression, and is no where near its "limit", and on 87 octane, im in the mid to low 12s, with the old setup, and now i cant get traction. new skins have been ordered, so in a few weeks (i hope) ill have reports of a new time. With my car, I would be pretty happy with high 11s. Then, if you get into high performance cars, like modded vipers, heavily built LS1 cars, terminators, etc, "fast" is in the 7s.
yeah thanks guys i was just wondering. so in the import tuner world is force induction a must, like inorder to run like 11's and 12's do you have to be turbo'd?
for a 4 banger turbo running under 11s is pretty damn fast IMO. 12s and maybe 11s on a n/a engine is tough but doable, just need the funds and knowhow.
