Not much to talk about, just thought I'd mention that I saw 2 93-98 Supras (one white, one black), a silver Lamborghini Murciealgo (sp?), and a red Ferrari ? all in one night. Kinda entertaining for me, since I've only seen 2 Supras in real life before tonight, one lambo and just a handful of ferrari's before.. just a fun night.
Some guy in a ricey accord was checkin out my car too, I just shook my head and kept goin.. poor guy, you almost feel bad for Honda drivers. -Brian |

Honda motors are pretty tough... just consider, Vtec with all of those little moving pins and stuff, all in squished together in the head, and is designed for operating at 6K+ rpms... and is able to do so for a long long time, and is covered under warantee... Obviously the manufactures have faith in their product... and that's just Vtec. As far as eating boost... it's all about tuning. 15psi is doable with stock compression (10:6:1) depending on your patience with tuning. Higher compression, as mentioned, is less stable for boost, however, that can be fixed with proper fuel managment, higher octane fuel, and a lot of very meticulous tuning... It's a lot of wear on the motor, and will probably reduce the life of the engine a lot, but turbo charging an n/a motor in general will always do that... even if it's just a little bit. |
