Seems wasteful to spend so much money in an engine to come out with 190whp, thats the point.

$1500... I could have spent more on something else and had less power.

How much power would you make if you took your turbo off?

Edit: I meant if you built it for allmotor power...

Well you shouldn't be too upset, as you are in the minority, although you should probably knock on wood. But yes, I will elaborate on some minor breakage, specifically seperate axle cases, although nothing overly embarassing. We had just finished pulling my friends k20 swapped hatch off the dyno. PT67 on the gate(~18psi), had just made 490ish. Go to take it for a spin and make a couple of pulls. Do a 3rd gear pull and the axle snaps, no wheel hop, just pure breakage. What kinda vehicle snaps an axle from a roll? Oh I know, only a honda. Next case, guy I know with NA B18, making 190ish whp, launches on a street tire and proceeds to move only a couple of feet as both axles snapped simultaneously. Only a honda. Now these cases are minor, but I've seen much worse axle scenarios from hondas. We can even discuss motor breakage if you want to really be exposed to hilarity, such as an instance where I saw a spark plug blown out the cylinder head. Only a honda.

Wait are ya'll seriously complaining about axles?

R crew makes axles rated for high power on K series. Gator makes axles rated for high power on B series.


If your going to complain that it takes aftermarket axles for a Honda to throw good power to the wheels then cry about it.








DSM's come with factory turbos that blow seals. But guess what? They make aftermarket turbos to replace the ones that shit the bed.















No fucking way.

Your blabbing about a 600hp eclipse like its the shit. There are plenty of 600hp civic that would own you. From a dig,maybe not.

If you took an eclipse gs and put 600hp to the front wheels, it wouldnt have traction either. The only thing giving you traction is AWD.

How much power do you think a 7.8:1 compression motor with low overlap cams and low angle valve entry is gonna make without help from compressed air?

What a dolt.

Why are your sentences spaced out so much?

I run stock 4g61 mitsu front axles. I've yet to hear a single case where they've broken due to too much power. About the turbos blowing seals, which ones? Mitsubishi is one of greatest turbo engineers on the planet. No seal will last forever, so eventually every turbo will have seal problems. Your arguments are complete and utter buffoonery.

Gives you idiots some time to think between sentences.


How much power can be made using the stock turbo?

My guess is 250hp.


Hondas come factory with 160hp more or less. They do not roll out of production with axles that are equipped to handle 3 times the factory power. Why should they?


This thread is dumb and does not relate to the op at all.
