if you wanna buy it so its built, get Mugen or Spoon. theyre not good for FI, but if you lower the compression theyre some seriously badass engines.

 

Spoon assembled B18C Type R runs about $5,500... Stock Honda internals, Fully balanced, 11.3:1 CR, ~200 ATC

 

i did the currency conversion off the spoon website...if you get it ordered directly from japan its a little under 4k (not including shipping of course)

 

So would a spoon engine make a good daily driver and still run low 13's? The question is.. does it come with the ECU and tranny like other packages or a clip would..

 

I think all of you guys need to get a grip on reality. Running 10's is not that easy. Doesn't matter what car you drive it's hard to do and takes a lot of patience, power, traction, and most important money. How many of you guys posting on here even run 14's? I think the only people who need to post to this thread are the ones who are actually running 10's.........which none of you are even close. It is **** like this that gives you honda guys a bad name. I have numerous friends who are into hondas and let me tell you guys, they have invested $20K+ in these cars to get them to come even close to mine.......when they are running. There is so much little stuff that adds up that you don't even think about. What makes you guys think you aren't going to blow up stuff? Every turbo honda I know hasn't had the engine last for more than 5K miles. YOU ARE GOING TO BREAK STUFF!! about 1/3 of the cost is going to be replacing broken parts. So you guys who are spitting out this recipe to "run 10's for $5K" need to take a step back and realize that you can't slap a couple parts on and run 10s because it just doesn't work that way. BTW I own a Honda that I drive everyday and love it.

 

wow...ego much?

k look...were not talking about running tens for under 5k. were talking about running twelves for about 7 or 8k. and its not that hard to get under fourteens with a civic. a stock GSR costs about 2.7k, and will run mid 14s stock. stroke it and build it, takes another 3k for the sleeves and a strong *** stroker kit with 4340 billet rods and low comp pistons, your into thirteens. get valvetrain and cams, and a port and polish job, another 2k, your into low thirteens, high twelves. and if youve built it right and all the work on it is done right, put on a big turbo kit and your in the elevens. thats about 10k right there.

 

lol I was on the verge of 13's with a stock single cam and a $700 HMT setup in a heavy *** 98 4 DOOR

 

With only 9psi from a dinky *** 2nd gen mitsu t25

 

at least you held with the supercharger guys with it


LMAO jk Sniper and Polo

 

It was rather funny cause I would spank greddy turbo kitted civic of the same gen. while running lower boost and half the price lol. Damn shame I wrecked the car because low 13's would have been seen by now
