funniest race ever! blew up a honda
 

this afternoon i was leaving one of the local speed shopsin town and a 90-93 honda accord with some apexi stickers on it tried to race me. we both rolled up to the next light and both took off i had a great launch or he just sucked. anyways i was about 2.5 cars ahead of him and then all of a sudden he was about at the front passenger door and BOOM, black smoke everywhere! i dont know what it was but i just kept driving. any ideas on what it was?

he could have bin on the bottle, after he trigered it it could have blown his engine.....he might have bin redlineing a gear also and could have blown the engine

I doubt he was spraying, he prolly upgraded his ECU and brought it far above the redline, thus blowing his motor. I can see him pulling ahead of you without NOS, just not seeing him blow his motor? He must have done something wrong.

a freakin older accord!?
I wouldn't have wasted my time or gas racing a pos like that.
Try going against me!

EXavier, welcome to the board if no one has welcomed you....

I was woundering what kind of power you were getting out of your car... whats it look like too?

I haven't gone to the dyno yet. I need a lot of tuning done. I'm getting some tip in detonation. I went to the track once and got a 14.9@95mph

That was with a lot of wheel hop due to my motor mounts being blown. Here's a list of what I had at the time I was at the track:

1.6L SOHC motor with 107k miles
JRSC with 10lb of boost
AEM ram intake
AEM FPR 1:1
Cartech FMU
Walbro High flow pump
Clutchmasters Stage 2 clutch and pressure plate
Tokico shocks
H&R sport springs
16" Enkei Rpo2 with crappy 205/40 BFGOODRICH tires (Euros)


Since then I have gotten a J&S ultra safeguard. It comes with a map/boost controller and a safeguard against pinging and knocking.
I also installed some ES motor motor mount inserts along with new motor mounts

I could get in the mid 14's down to low 14's if I would go with hondata and the hondata setup (different ecu,injectors,etc). It's kinda expensive and definitely will need to be tuned.
I'm not that fast and furious
:D

As for how it looks, that's my car in my sig, I haven't taken anymore pics. Maybe one day when I get the chance. This past month I've been fighting with CEL lights on my civic. Just one of those things I guess.

I see you have made your way to this board. Glad to see you still have your car after all the misfortunes you have had hehe How much was your Supercharger? I see that you haven't upgraded the internals, are we in line for another blown motor? :D I get around EXavier, I am a long time member of Clubsi.com ;) I am just giving you a hard time, welcome to the board :)

:D
yeah, I know, another motor :D
I've had more electical problems with this one than the other one.
Soo sick of it!

why not go DOHC Vtec? I find them to hold boost better, than the SOHC motors. Although I have heard the SOHC motors can hold boost better, but who knows hehhe

well, it was cheaper at the time. I only paid 1000 for the charger. now I had to get a new motor: 2100!

$2100? wow thats a lot. hondamotorsonline.com has the B16a1 complete changeover for $1550 without shipping which is around $300, and they will even throw in an LSD Tranny for another $300 ;)

yeah, but then there's installing it, not something I'd do my self. plus I'm sure it doesn't come with a warranty. I can go 1year/10,000 miles. If it blows, new motor :D

As a felow member of the ClubSi board myself, and a engine replacement victim (due to N20), I would like to welcome EXavier to the board also.

LOL, welcome EXavier

Linux has been through the surgery before with his MP3.....

If anyone cares I spanked an old Corolla GT-S today haha, wasn't actually even close, blah..... I beat a parked Porsche too ;)

thanks man. By the way I love those mp3's! Are they getting a lot of aftermarket stuff available yet?
JRSC should make a charger for them, but it be better if vortech did!:cool:
