Re: (local) Import vs Domestic race
I can reflash it, either dialing it in on the street or on a dyno. With a simple setup it shouldn't take too long.
To be honest it's been a while since I had one on the dyno with a stock turbo, since most people don't bother to dyno till they do more upgrades. If you really want to max out the stocker though you'd also want to run some bigger cams than the stock ones. I want to say with the right parts around 25 PSI should get 400 though. At that point I'd recommend bigger injectors too. Nice header might not hurt either. On DSMs the stock 2G exhaust manifold seems to have zero restriction but I have seen some evidence here and there that aftermarket gains slightly over the Evo 8/9 exhaust manifold.

Re: (local) Import vs Domestic race
Ok if you say so but again im not here to down talk domestics.........i love all cars that you can make go fast but me myself would rather build a 400hp honda drive it 150 miles a day and still get 30+mps and still be able to outrun MOST not all of the mustangs and vettes on the road it would just make me feel good to know that i didnt spend a fraction of the money to buy/build the car that some of the mustang guys did and 99% of the vette guys did, and dont say that a 400hp daily driver honda isnt possible or reliable, ive seen it done many times. Just like previously stated its all in the tune as to how reliable it is.
This whole Import vs domestic race idea came from that thread, which has a $6k 400 hp GT racing a bunch of boosted hondas, from a roll, and they couldn't beat it.
So bring your Honda and get worked repeatedly please.

Re: (local) Import vs Domestic race
Why the hell do you people keep combining the terms "import" and "honda" like its the same thing?
Hondas dont represent all of the import crowd. As far as untouched longblock 400-500hp daily driven imports....EVOs and STIs do it all the time.

Re: (local) Import vs Domestic race
All you have to do is some research and you would see that there are quite a few honda's with stock motors making 500 or more and have been together for years. They are uncommon because it takes a very VERY good tuner and an intelligent owner. And the "kinda common with real cars" is one of the most retarded things I have read in a while. What makes a car real? LOL. Give me a break.
