I'm at work right now and my friend's been talking about turbocharging his little D16 Si. It's one of those 92-95 ones. Anyway, I always mess with him talking about rice this rice that. He was basically just for sho until today. Wow. I want a turbo now! It's a hell of an experience. Maybe it's because I didn't grow up with friends that have supercars and turbo cars, etc. I mean, the fastest I've been in any car was an old Porsche 944(145MPH), and I recently learned to drive manual. So this stuff is all amazing to me. So yeah, it's a D16(Beats me by 2-3 cars stock against the Celi.) Wow, that turbo is crazy. Everything was Greddy. That thing flies. It sounds like the green Eclipse from F&F when it arrives at the stadium. It pushes you back, it feels like someone's punching you in the stomache when you shift gears. And he's only boosting 4 lbs. The BOV was Greddy something and it sounds a lot like Doggy's old Celi(Sorry Romas, didn't mean to compare you to a Civic). Yours was still nicer! But yeah, I'm very excited. Wooo! Can't wait to get my turbo!!!

BUT:
my first time in a turbo car was in a 95 civic coupe w/ b16a (del sol) w/ a rev hard turbo built by in-line (best honda/acura shop in no.va) anyways that **** was CrAzY! but after a while i decided that i dont want that much horsepower/torque on fwd. i dont like driving str8 all the time. i like turns, which is why i dont want my car to push while accelerating in a turn. which is why most cars over 250hp are either awd/rwd. so its either way actually |
