lookin to go 12's!!!
 
what's up guys, i just picked up a 90 crx, wanna start doing some stuff to it, what kinda setup (motor, turbo, etc.) should i run to be able to get the car into the 12's on somewhat of a budget, any input would be sick, thanks

Pretty safe bet if you put some sort of ferrari engine in there it'll run 12's.

if you can gut it and get the weight around 1900lbs and get a d16z6, try and spray a 75 shot on it. should be in the 12's and it would be cheap.

Re: lookin to go 12's!!!
 
i have pretty much a full h22 swap sitting in my shed, can't find mounts for my car, or it would be in by now...

what kinda car do you have? if its an 88-91 hatch or crx look in the classifieds, there was a guy selling engine mount kits.

87na_rx7 10-15-2005 07:16 PM

Re: lookin to go 12's!!!
 
it doesnt take much power to get into the 12's
SRD has a 89 hatch with most of the work into suspension and weight reduction, runs 12.6's with just 162 whp

B18A swap,decent size turbo and some slicks.Easy 12's.

Re: lookin to go 12's!!!
 
B18a/b Ls swap, a good clutch,a super 60 t3 @ 10-12 psi, good tuning with turboedit or the like, new springs and struts and a set of traction bars to reduce wheel hop, and a set of street slicks...12's.... :y

Buy my galant and you'll run 12.50's :P

12's are not as easy as a motor swap, and turbo. ::) Good luck with life if you think that is all it takes ;)

Yup... take it from the guy who's running 12.50 w/ 400 whp...

If you're on a budget and want to run in ther 12's, you're probably going to be looking at a set of vitara pistons with a decent sized turbo. Either that or an engine swap would be best.

You only said 12's!!!!

Hell you could push a car 1/4 mile andyou could go under 12min!!! No motor needed !!!!

you forgot the guy with 400hp, runs 12.5 and is AWD

Car weight: 2300 lbs.
Horsepower: 275 hp
Configuration: Front Wheel Drive

Results
Quarter Mile Acceleration: 12.953 seconds.
Terminal speed: 115.2964 mph.

My integra almost weighs that much and i am hoping to put 275 down the the front wheels with 10-12psi and uberdata. and if it doesnt weigh that much then we start stripping the bitch, becuase less weight = more hp.

Re: lookin to go 12's!!!
 
those acceleration calculators suck though. I hate to refer to him again, but its who everyone knows with the turbo dirty d...

BBKA ran less horsepower, more weight, and a lower time (on slicks of course) so who knows.

Koby 10-17-2005 12:13 PM

Re: lookin to go 12's!!!
 
Yeah it takes a bit more power when you don't have a stripped out tin can. Power to weight is very important yes, but it isn't my style to drive stripped out cars. Each to their own.

<---- 3600lbs with fuel

Re: lookin to go 12's!!!
 
25% AWD drivetrain loss takes it's toll, too.

That, and a 16G is a puling little girl sized turbo.

Re: lookin to go 12's!!!
 
Koby, what kinda car is that? A DSM I assume but not sure
