A Honda you'd best respect

bhuff30 · Apr 4, 2008

This is a car local to me that I just learned about. I hear he goes up to the track, so I hope to see it in person as I'm out there this spring/summer. You had best respect it. It has 800whp, and it's NOT peaky. I expected to see a dynosheet making 800hp at redline, for a worthless 100rpm. Not the case at all, as once that turbo spools he is laying down a consistent 500 ft*lbs all the way to redline. This is no dyno queen, it is a 9 second car in a 18 second exterior. I love that the dark tint hides the cage nicely. (and yes, I'm sure the intercooler sticks out for purely functional reasons)

Wonder what the graph would look like at rpm instead of mph anyway hes got almost tripple my hp at almost half the weight, damn fine in my book

CobraRed_96_GT · Apr 4, 2008

fast, yes. But why would you want 800hp to the front wheels?

Uhh so you could lift the BACK end!

CobraRed_96_GT · Apr 4, 2008

I'm just saying, it's like saying you have a stupid fast 4WD jeep - well, why?

old_blue · Apr 4, 2008

why are there v-8s in a gremlin or a pinto?? because it is f'n cool to see that shyt. I still remember my first time hearing and then seeing a 351w focus......

Tim2002GT · Apr 4, 2008

Fast, yes. Good looking, hell no! I think the way the piping and ic are exposed looks like crap.

bhuff30 · Apr 4, 2008

I just think it's damn cool too see something different. I'm a CAR fan, I don't care what brand car you drive, long as it is tastefully done. I get tired of looking at the same ol' thing, whether it is a street rod show with all small block chevys or a mustang meet with 5.0/4.6 mustangs far as the eye can see. I like seeing the custom work, things that no one else has done before, and different engines that not everyone plays with (must be why I keep the 2.3). That's why this is cool and deserves respect in my book.

Might be FWD, but it is still bad-A. No doubt, he could smoke the tires the entire length of the track and still beat nearly everyone here.

Speed is linear to RPM, so the graph will look exactly the same. If 30mph is 2500, then 60mph is 5000rpm, 90mph is 7500rpm, and 120 is 10,000rpm. I'm curious what rpms are too, to see how wide that torque band actually is too.

You don't have to like the way it looks. I commend him for keeping the 'clean stock' look though. It's a hell of a lot better than fart cans, carbon fiber hoods and rediculous wings!

#2. I want to know what internals he's using

#3. and how much boost he is running ( would have to be well over 30lbs)

Without seeing the intercooler spilling out of the front bumper, that is the epidome of sleeper car

The focus conversion includes a rear wheel drive swap. Those things are pretty sick.

I agree with CobraRed thogh... 800HP to the front wheels... not my cup o' tea

CatmanJJ · Apr 4, 2008

Car has awesome power but still ghey as ****.

bhuff30 · Apr 4, 2008

I have no idea how much boost he runs, but it must be plenty, as you probably close to 30psi.

I think the intercooler sticking out the front only slightly takes away from the sleeper effect. There are plenty of hondas with a very obvious intercooler setup in the front that run 14s and 15s (~200whp).

harrisonfiveo · Apr 4, 2008

appreciate the info man

I still think its funny to have that much power and still use that tiny tot playskool radiator.

Badass car but you'd think he'd know by now he coulda had at least 100 more hp with some autozone stickers

98E9GT · Apr 4, 2008

I like the clean sleeper look, I would probably paint the intercooler and piping(if possible) black to camouflage it better at night.

SRT Handz · Apr 4, 2008

Cool that he has 800HP.

Bad that once a Corner comes my NPI Beast will Walk all over the civic

agreed hondas were meant to be decent cars at road racing once you get that much hp its kind of pointless. i mean the si-r version of that car only has like 160 hp but handles like a champ, because they focused on suspension.

like has been said its nice he has that much hp but why not buy something that will hold up a little better, people around here locally that have cars like that have to rebuild them like once a year.

i mean you can only have fun with that car say 1 2 times a week in a controlled environment. i personally would want something i could enjoy everyday. not saying street racing or being stupid. driving on an open road getting on it a little bit up to a safe speed.

SRT Handz · Apr 4, 2008

Honda Integra Type=Greatest Front wheel drive Car EVER MADE..... Out handles EVERY other FF and its 10 years old.

any car engineer will tell you the same thing. "The Limit for a FF car is 220HP MAX". Front wheels just cant turn and Go at the Same Time.

Why not take all that cash and make a 800HP 5.0.

I can't remember who said it but, you could stick a rocket up richard simmons ass and he'd be fast but he'd still be gay

A Honda you'd best respect
