    8 pound flywheel

    If you are going to be drag racing an lighter flywheel may not neccessarily be the correct decision. As everyone knows a lighter flywheel will help the motor spin up faster, removing the rotating mass always does, but with less centrifugal force means the motor will slow down faster, for lack of...

    Manifold

    highperboi, if you wanted to make your own catch can you would have to use something ridged. A plastic bottle would collapse under the vacuum pressure. You would be surprised how much vacuum your intake actually pulls at WOT. I have seen people make their own catch can with a smaller pint paint...

    Manifold

    LOL! Well i guess that's one way to do it. In the old days venting the crankcase to the atmosphere was common, now that's probably not a very good idea. The pcv system was created for a reason. If the motor requires additional vacuum to vent the crank case then you should leave it that way. If...

    Manifold

    That "slimey shit" you feel is probably oil in your intake manifold. If your pcv system is set up with the intake manifold as the main vacuum source you can get some oil blow by. Eventually that oil will be sucked in to the motor from your intake, which isn't very good. If you have an excess oil...

    200whp by NA

    Unhooking a turbo and going back to N/A would be time consuming, but probably not to hard. Only problem you would have would be the tuning. The tuning on the turbo would probably be way to Fat for an N/A application. You'd probably want 11:1-12:1 A/F ratio and less timing for the turbo tune...

    What to do?? smoking

    92civicb18b1 could be right about a blown head gasket, but usually that would me a loss of power as well. A "pint" of oil isn't bad at all, even a new car will burn up a little oil and sometimes up to a quart every 3000-4000 miles if the car is driven hard. If you don't have any noticable loss...

    speed in 1/4 was 91.96

    If you are launching on street tires you'll probably want to launch hard but feather the clutch a bit to keep traction. Not quite sure where your power band is, reguardless on the street tires you don't want to launch at your peak horsepower range, probably a bit under.

    Top HP - Who's Done It?

    I recently had the pleasure of driving a Dodge Avenger IROC stock car at California speedway. Horsepower is estimated at 600rwhp. I know its not a 1/4 mile car and they wouldn't let us max them out, but there nothing like the feel of going into turn 1 and 3 at 160mph, feels like your face wants...

    went to the track today

    A friend of mine has a '93 CX with a B18C1 motor (i think) in it. On one run he actually pitched the alternator belt at half track but still ran a new best of 12.80. You can probably get away without an alternator belt for a couple runs as long as the battery stayed around 13V. If it starts to...
