Not worth it unless you got yourself a 1800lb hatchback.

 

If they can get 220 hp and u pay 2k...
sounds like BS to me

 

They probably gonna slap on some taillights and underbody neon kit. 200hp can be had with turbo but all motor finna take a lot more money

 

it would cost more for a turbo kit, and u would not get as much power, this must be some bull...

 

GReddy kit = $1500
DSM 450cc injectors + resistor box = $100
Walbro intank 255lph fuel pump = $100
GReddy ProfecB boost controller = $300
Intercooler =$100-400

At roughly 10-12psi, a D16Y8 will make more than 200whp.

Don't give me no "10psi is too much for stock block." That's BS. A lot of people have ran 10psi on stock block.

 

Costs more than $2K to get 200 NA horsepower out of an ITR engine.

 

if you have the time go for it, get everything in writing, and sue their pants off when the motor doesnt put out:naughty:

 

When you guys make comments like Turbo for a SOHC is too much and wont make power you really need to have Experience with a Turbo'd SOHC.

It's all in how you tune it.

My friend ran 12psi on his Stock D16Y8 With the GReddy kit, pulled 210WHP and ran 8's in the 1/8 mile.

That's ****in awesome.

 

just get them to sign a paper that agrees to that 200 hp ****...and then go dyno test it....then sue them...if you do get 200 horses..then i envy you my friend...ill give you $2,000 ...you do it for my civic..LoL
