300 km/h
Its been done, I believe it was the owner of AEM hit 210 on the salt flats, he counterbored a b16 to a 1.5 and used a huge *** turbo with a distributorless ignition. 2000 civic I believe stock suspension, stock brakes, almolst stock body gutted and caged of course. there was a big writeup in some magazine a month or two ago.
300km/h is about 185mph. i think it could be done with enough hp and the right gearing. but its not reasonable. i think 150-160 is where you should be aiming. im afraid to boost my car in 5th gear much at all because i dont want to ruin another engine. ive went about 140mph without going over 5psi boost. im set for 14pounds on a b16. so 160 would be pretty easy at full capasity. 185 could easily be done with 600hp. but wtf happens then? i dont know so go video tape yourself doing it and make this dream into reality. OK?
i will try. but need some time to get money for a car. i plan to do swap 5th LS gear into my YS1 tranny to get 189 mph on 205/45/r17 wheels on 8250. but i am afraid to ruin engine too. so i want to know what to do to engine to make it handle that. i think problem will be cooling system. i need fat big water radiator and i need oil cooler i think. i dont think that i will need be 600 hp to get there. as i said before bmw m3 with only 282 hps can get to 168 mph. and bimmer is heiver and has bigger drag coef.
well, you cant get torque without hp, and vice versa. and revs will take lack of torque i hope =)) what about engine cooling? will be it necessary to amke oil cooler or not? will stock h22a water radiator be enough to cool engine?
