Maybe not with that turbine A/R, but that wheel CAN make that power. It is sort of at the limit, but nonetheless.

pretty damn close to 450 if you really push the turbo. 400 whould be a more realistic goal.


for those goals id go with a T31/T04B 60-1 .70/.63 75 trim

Wow. Thanks for all the replies. I appreciate the facts you guys gave instead of saying its not possable. 400 should be good for a ef chassis anyway.




p.s. Honda-tech does suk. You have now made a new homemade turbo fan. You guys got shirts or stickers I can order?

Yes we do, and yeah you are right about HT, alot of them have $3k turbo kits and frown upon the DIY croud, there is still some good info on there though.

Anything over 400 on a civic is a waste of power, I would focus on RPM and get a turbo that will make max power to your desired RPM, this way it wont drop off at full throttle, focus on weight as well, EF's are only a bit lighter than EG's depending on the model, if you have such things as subs/spare/extra seats Pull all of that crap out before you go to the track to have the most effective run.

I have a friend making mid 300 horsepower and it is an 11 second car (92 EG hatch)

Goodluck.

Thanks. I have a stock interior but looking to order some recaros or something. I will be putting a sub in there but only a 10. I dont want to be all gutted out at the track. I want to run my car the same way it does on the street. So thats why I am investing in 17 inch drag radials for my FN01RC's. I know it will hurt my time a little bit but I dont really care about that .01 second. I am building it for fun. I when I get bored with it I will be moving to my other project which is a 1980 corolla

Did you see that he said that it was a t3/t4 60 TRIM .60/.63. NOT A TO4E 60trim. So im gona assume that its a airesearch t3 from a ford. In that case its limit is about 300hp. But ----, what do I know

YA, nothing, you're a stupid dumbfuck. "Assumptions are the mother of all fuckups" - Jules Winnfield, ie Samuel L Jackson, Pulp Fiction.


T4, ya that means T3, cause he didn't put an 'E'.
