So Far Killed 3 Turbos

[Silent Drifter]

All I got done to my car is exhaust an so far ive killed 3 turbos, even tho they were a Golf, Jetta, Rabbit I still beat ppl with turbos. Sound like a waste of money to me if a pretty much stock KA can beat your brand new VW with turbo

[eastcoastchaos]

indeed, i've beaten a 1.8t jatta, a couple gst eclipses and a turbo potege. it allways makes me happy to beat some kid that has easily spent twice as much on his car then i have on mine

[UncleBen]

15.5 on a completely stock 240 eh? You have a very very strong car. Lucky basterd.

[Silent Drifter]

Yea im happy with the car. On the street im running better..better traction. Id really like to put like a 40 shot on so I can beat those damn B16 hatchs!

[Sleeper s13]

Impressive. Ive beat lots of things in my 240 but none of them had a turbo. at least as far as i know. If you live where i do though, if it has a turbo and its not a brand new jetta, you dont want to f#%k with it. youl get burned. My roomate has a v6 firebird turbo putting 280hp and 320ftlb to the ground in a 3.8L with a T3/T4 turbo. Its custom job obviously but there are other turbo cars arround with some impressive stats.

so, you're car is still slow.

indeed.

[GEO]

ATleast he is happy

[Silent Drifter]

I never said it was fast, so why are you tellin me its slow? I know its slow. But for what it is its pretty quick. Im not goin around tryin to race vettes an sh*t. I stick to cars that are close in comparison.

[Chingon]

Did you race from a dead stop? At what rpm did you launch?

[Silent Drifter]

yea dead stop, an like 2500-2800

[IneedMoney]

if you run a 15.5 you should waste a b16 they have no tq and a nissan has more tq then hp

[SET240SX]

wtg silent drifter 15.5 stock is a nice number. and dont worry i will hunt down the vettes for ya.

I want a T-shirt. "You're car is slow."or maybe "You're Civic/Saturn/Neon/Kia is slow."

Haha Yea I like that idea. I want a shirt to say "The Anti-Rice".An about the b16's I have them by alot in 1st an 2nd its there 3rd gear that kills me.

One of the greatest feelings is beating a car that cost waaaaaay more than yours. I felt the same way when my stock z beat a s2000 right after i got it - he spent like 13 times as much as I did and had his *** handed to him - i'd want my money back if i owned one of those VWs :-P

[eastcoastchaos]

i don't know about that much, vw's are pretty sweet. maybe not the fastest but i like um. a guy down the street from me has the badest *** jetta i have ever seen. giant cross drilled and slotted rotors, the best sounding exhaust i've heard in a while, the wide body body kit and wide body rims, it's a vr6 but it sounds turbo as well, and it is completely tubed except for two spearco seats. that thing looks like a good time.

[Silent Drifter]

O dont get me wrong I love VW's the new rabbits are bada$$. They handle like their on rails, jus if I had the money to buy one id buy a different car.

[Chingon]

hahaha fu(k yeah, it should say the Anti-Rice on top and have the Honda logo crossed out in one of those circles, like the ones that say "no smoking"

[RyanT]

yea the b16 is pretty close because they have like 15-20 hp on the engine but less tq. most honda drivers launch real high to aviod that.. 240's would have a hard time stock verse a b16 stock.. but also a b16 is a much more pricey engine so aint no thing

[solid]

Ineedmoney, actually b16's in a hatch is fast not slow. There are many around here and they are fast no doubt. My friend also has a b16 in his crx and that thing can run low 15's being a not as great of a driver he is now. Also when i went to the tracks i talked to 3 other people with b16 and b18 swaps in their hatches and they all hit 14.7-15.1 with just intake and exhaust.

[Silent Drifter]

Yea Ive learned not to even bother with hatchs because 90 percent of the time under the hood of there primered half wrecked crx or hatch is a b16 or b18. Those hatchs are very underestimated, I totally respect them now though.

:Werd

There are so many vehicles around where I live that fit into that category. That and early 90's Integra's and Civic's with just primered front ends. I think the local Asian guys have scams going with the insurance companies. On three seperate occassions, I've driven by parked Integra's that look like they got backed into by a big car or truck, but just hard enough to bend up the hood. Then going by those same cars like a month later, they have primered front fenders and a new hood. It's almost like some fools thought, "I'll have my friend wreck my car, then take the cash to pay for an engine swap."

I don't even race those kind of cars. Not because I'm all that worried about losing. I'm more worried that the fools will figure out what I have under the hood, and then figure out where I live.

[deftdrummer]

i wish i had a fast engine :-(

That is the idea behind insurance fraud isnt it? Cash for an engine swap? I thought so.
