ive seen h22s bored out to over 3L's. if you did that you could make those HP numbers with as much or more tq.

 

It's really a matter of if you just want to beat them a few times without completely murdering them, or if you want to consistantly beat a 5.0 while keeping that same power as a daily driver. If you just want to win in a 1/4 mile every once in a while go with bolt ons and nitrous, but if you want something that constantly has power, boost your stock d-series engine. Check out pete's turbo shopping list to get an idea of what you need then watch ebay like a hawk to find some good prices. With you d-series boosted and some fuel delivery things adjusted you can constitanly beat 5.0's while keeping good reliability. Plus then if you want to make it even faster all you have to do is build up the engine with lower compression and much stronger parts, then turn the boost WAY up and you could MURDER most 5.0's out there*.

best of luck!

*By most 5.0's out there I mean ones that don't have a lot of money dropped into them. Try running a stroked 5.0 with 4.10 gears and tons of bolt ons. It wouldn't be too much fun.

 

i'm rockin' the D. my buddy & his brother both have 5.0 mustangs. first non-rainy friday & it's game on...hopefully next week. i'm shooting for mid 13's.

 

I sure hope you do have some stuff done to your car besides IHE. If you are rebuilt you might be alright, or if you are boosted, or both. If you just have bolt-ons though I'm gonna have to burst your bubble and let you know you won't run 13's.

(I obviously have no clue what you have done to you're car, so if it can beat 5.0's excuse me and more power to you, although if you have some to spare you could loan me some [8D])

peace, Evan

Haha, ok good. I didn't want to be the first one to burst you're bubble that a stock civic will lose to a 5.0. But yeah, with that set up you should DEFINATELY win. As long as the 5.0 you race doesn't have any major mods you will def. win!

 

what turbo are you running?

what are running for internals?

 

sc 60 t3/t4 precision turbo. skunk 2 intake manifold. precision intercooler. full msd ignition and holley fuel pump. aem fuel rail. three inch full exhaust from the downpipe back. ross pistons 8.5 compression .20 overbore. scat rods, crank has been polished. aluminum racing radiator. unorthodox underdrive pulleys. 550cc rc injectors, stainless steel 1mm oversize valves. dual stage turbo xs boost controller. fully race ported head, zex stage 2 cam with aem adjustable cam gear. new built transmission (lsd) with 6 puck racing clutch. skunk 2 short shifter.

 

not bad not bad. by .2 overbore do you mean you're at 1.8L?

if i were you id get some higher compression pistons than 8.5. you could handle it with those internals. id say 9 or 9.5.
