A little presumptuous today, aren't we? I actually made that statement tongue-in-cheek, and I never said anything about you being inexperienced with cars.
I've seen a few engines blow, but the best was watching a red-hot brake rotor explode and go through the floor of an M3. (It missed the driver's left foot by three inches.)
I had the pleasure of driving a 400+++ hp (front wheel drive ) Eclipse for about a week. I loved the rushing sound of the turbo followed by the whoosh of the blow off valve at every shift. I think they had it's turbo pushing 1.2 bar. I still remember how nervous I got every time it would break the front tires loose after dropping it into 3rd at 80mph on the highway.
What did you have in your Civic to get it to break into the 12's, about 500 hp? |
Not quite 500 hp. You would be amazed at what 300 hp can do to a CRX. The set up was nothing that crazy. B16a3 motor, head built by skunk 2, Type R pistons, rods, and crank, Hondata stand alone ECU, intake, exhaust, intake, and 100 shot of nitrous. The car was pretty much gutted out and turned 12.3 in the 1/4 mile. I had plans to go turbo untill my car was stollen.
