    Default strangest Set Up Ive Seen Yet

    edited:strangest fits better than crazy

    Me and my friend ran into his old boss.So we were talking and he told us his set up. Hes got Boosted b20vtec with type r tranny in a eg hatch or coupe .He told us about him being on the interstate spinning at a 100mph. I figured that was strange to see considering boost and short gears dont mix to well from what ive heard most ppl with boost use ls or gsr trannys so i didnt understand why the guy decided to use itr except for lsd Longer gears more time for boost to make power. That was my understanding

    What do you guys think about that set up?

    Too much power being loaded on the front wheels for it's own good. I see bad things happening. I bet that thing lags big time.

    K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.

    depends on the turbo setup, what turbo he's running, what kind of engine management, if he used a B16 or B18 head, if it's in a hatch or a coupe (coupe weighs more), how much boost he's running, what kind of suspension setup he has to put the power to the ground... Shall I go on?

    You can't say a car is "sick" or "crazy" if you only know it's a turbo honda. I've seen turbo hondas run 16 second quarter miles.. nothing sick or crazy about that.

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    He went with the type R trans for the limited slip, but he's a n00b and didn't take into account that the type R trans has way short gears, which is great for N/A but **** for boost... if he had thought it out better instead of just getting what everyone told him to get, he would have purchased a Quaife LSD and a GSR transmission.

    His car is not crazy.. it's actually pretty weak.

    Just because a car makes so much HP doesnt mean it aint streetable, have you heared of turning down the boost? There are cars out there with 650HP daily driven what does a few more hp make a diffrence?

    Why would you wanna drive something that sensative (even if you can turn the boost down) on the street? You probably could, but why? That's just plain foolish

    Especially the Mustangs, Z06, Vipers and others with that much power. I'm not taking any pity on them too. Single purposed vehicles have their place. And the streets aren't where they belong.

    Well 626's have been known to own at drag, road racing, gymkhana, rally etc.

    If the car has a good tune and is running right what would not make it streetable? I don't think you understand that the power comes on at like 5k + on most big turbo cars and you never reach that driving around town. You don't want to floor it every chance you get but its certainly doable.

    No im like most racers, i race on the drag stip with no brakes. I just pray it stops in time!!! hahahahaha

    Their are hondas trapping high 160mph passes and using stock brakes, so i think mine will do just fine!!

    Ok, let's say that it "could" be streetable. Would you want to daily drive it? Have you driven or even rode in a car that was as tempermental as a built up car? Crappy idle, harsh clutch and driveline snatch from upgrades and poor gas mileage. Why?

    EDIT: Why would one want to run that kind of car on the street especially if most cars on high boost turned down for the street will more than likely need run on race gas? That's a waste of good race gas for bragging rights.

    I beg to differ, when i run low boost i can run on regular gas, i have done it. I have a twin disk in my car, with a full roll cage, i have driven my car to work sitting in downtown traffic before and it didnt bother me one bit,I guess if your not used too or own something that is built you wouldnt know the diffrence,why build a car too let it sit in the garage?

    I have taken my car out on a friday night with a full tank of c16 race gas, money is money, but when u smoke the **** out of a v8 thats priceless!!!

    Very true. I guess to each is own. Have you thought of running dual tanks? One for C16 and 1 for regular?

    Have you ever seen any of my cars? YOU are the one with a 626 remember.

    Every project I have is "built up". BUT with the right tune on different maps you CAN make a car with big cams and huge injectors get good mileage if you wanted to. I always have daily driver but if I didn't it wouldn't be hard to tune the Haltech in the Porsche and get 25+ mpg and have a perfect idle. When you are spending 2 grand on management and a tune it should do what you tell it to. The only thing you can't change is the clutch. Unless you are a big vag that doesnt bother you much either.

    My buddy runs the dual gas tanks. Here's his car. He's a member here BTW

    http://www.britishv8.org/Triumph/MilesCrouch.htm
    The car has since been converted to a 5 speed (again) and a few other upgrades I'm not allowed to say. This car also gets 25mpg as well.

    They're actually fuel cells that he's running but 2 tanks nontheless. BTW, he's making more power than that nowadays.

    K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.

    The car has since been converted to a 5 speed (again) and a few other upgrades I'm not allowed to say. This car also gets 25mpg as well.
    this car kinda scares me. how does a car that small get traction at all through any gear with that much done to the motor? what kind of car is this by the way? i wouldn't want to take that anywhere but the strip. very impressive to say the least, but I think what it all boils down to is, many of these cars are street legal. its just a matter of how street worthy they are. taking something like that out on the road everyday is asking for a hole in your wallet.
