Re:8.66 @167MPH civic
Here is what they wrote in the Performance Auto & Sound Mag not to long ago...
B18-Powered 1993 Honda Civic Si
8.66 @ 166.39mph
The first official eight-second run came on September 7,2003 at Toronto Motorsport Park, where the board lit up an 8.97 @164mph during an NCRA-sanctioned event.
He went on to win that event, which, appropriately , was called JRP Nationals. JRP or Johnson Research & Performance, is the exclusive North American distrobuter of Turbosmart Performance products and both comapnies are Pauls sponsors.
ahh ---- it Ill get to the engines mods, not about to type the whole 2 pages....
Here...
1995 GS-R, now stuffed with Eagle concetion rods, Arias custom pistons and rings, and enough surface treatments to nurse a dead patient back to life, it handeles the extra cylinder pressures admirably. Those pressures are curtesy of the Turbonetics T-series hairdryer, also heavenly massaged, as most things on the car. A conical K&N filter protects turbine and internals from damage, the compressed air then travels to a custom air to water intercooler, which gets repaked with ice, between runs. Once Chilled, a 75-mm trotle body opes up and lets into the JG Edelbrock intake manifold. The tope end of the engine is filled with custom (read: secret) cam-shafts driven by adjustable Unorthodox Racing cam gears, and Ferrea springs and retainers. When Paul Bhawan lifts off to shift, boost presure is dispersed through the dual horns of turbosmart MegaSonic blow-off valve. a Turbosmart ProGate 45-mm wastegate regulates exhoust boost pressures. All piping is 3 inches in diameter, including the SplitFire-made intake plumbing, downpipe, header and exhoust.
Supplying octane-rich fuel to mix with all the force-fed air is a modified AEM fuel rail and 8 injectors. Creating multiple, hot sparks in time to ignite the mix in an MSD 7AL-2 ignition and coils. Moroso wires carry the current ro NGK plugs and distrobuter. And much more modifications that Paul would like to keep a secret about. The civic puts down 800 horses to the wheels, and over 1000 hp to the crank, not bad for a 1,950-lb sled going so fast.
The keep it secret about a few things, including the boost, but Ill tell you he gets 30psi...

Re:8.66 @167MPH civic
Well its a custom valve train, and obviously it uses custom camshafts, so vtec isnt needed. The fixed cam profile cam probably has huge duration and lift. He's probably just running some special spec Toda vtec killer cams.
Everything else sounds about right on the car, 800whp in a car like that will get you 8's no problem. However, 92 oct pump gas will not. It's nearly impossible. Last year I helped with a friend of mine nick lopez who had a 700whp integra, with all the top ----. He's best time was a 9.02 @ 160mph on C116. He was shooting to be the first 8 second honda not using methonal. The highest B series engine I have ever heard of being tuned on pump gas was in the mid 400's. I've seen higher but, they had methonal/water injection systems as well.
If he's using 8 injectors, it only sounds realistic that he is running methonal.

Re:8.66 @167MPH civic
they install those things... from what i read it eliminates all the VTEC stuff. you need a special cam of course.... so yeah its gonna be a non-VTEC head afterwords, BUT it will have better flow AND less valvetrain power loss cuz all the VTEC crap is gone... why have all that extra ---- if your always gonna be above 5000rpms anyway?
