i need to know if i can get a turbo kit installed on a honda with an automatic transmission. and if i can how well will it work
i wanna drop about $7500 on a 93 civic 2 door. interior will be completely lightweight fiberglass. exterior bodykitted and painted…this will eventually be a race/showcar…showcar side is already taken car of. my main question is which engine setup would be better the gsr b18 or the si-r b16 either engine will be turboed possibly nos and hope to atleast run 10’s on the quarter after all is said and done. i found a gsr for 3450 with everything tranny shift links drive shafts ecu the works also found si-r for 2700 everything included. which is the better option overall?! i need to buy one of these asap thanks
There are a few ways to answer this…
1) Drive your car in 5th gear at 50mph. Cruise along so that the rpms are half way to redline. Double this and this is as fast as the engine can run.
2) The biggest problem is wind resistance. As you go faster the force of moving forward through air goes up big time. Every time you double your speed air resistance quadruples. So you may never make it to top speed in 5th because of air resistance
3) The car could have a built in limiter. Normally around 110-120mph.
4) Tires with a small flaw (nail, low pressure, cracked sidewalls, old) will fall apart at about 100mph and you will die.
To answer your turbo question….WOW….there are a lot of factors here. IF your engine is healthy you can add about 100hp to it. If you want to build the engine the the skys the limit. Do it right the first time. If you buy a no name ebay turbo for $200 and just slap it on you will blow your engine in about a week. Please research more. It is all about TUNING. Get a good tune please.
How much improvement could I get? I love these cars except at lower speed autocrosses and on the front speedway at the race track.
