HAHAHAHA! I didn't see that before!
What do we have here? A (twin?) turbo V6, running 11 pounds of boost, running 11 second quarter miles and I guess this is on stock internals right? Stock ECU? Eating 91 octane gasoline no less!
If this is a porsche engine, I wanna know how he changed it to FWD. I also wanna see how he bent that Boxer 6 into a "V" shape

Well now hold on...
(From ClubSi.com)
2000 Civic Si, stripped, street tires (Turbo)
203WHP = 13.8 @ 100mph
1996 Integra GSR, stripped, street tires (Turbo
242WHP = 13.1 @ 110 mph
2000 Civic Si, stripped, street tires (S/C centrifugal)
330WHP = 13.8 @ 114mph
The problem I'm having here is that it takes a LOT of power on a front wheel drive on street tires to pull elevens.
And if you're telling me you ran 11's while running slicks, then I want to know where you got the new differential and the new axles. There's no way in God's Green Earth or in Hell Fire and Damnation that the stock axles and stock differential lived through 350 wheel horsepower and a set of Mickey Thompson 22x8 slicks.

Hey, Red, how come two different Civics, one with 203WHP and another with 330WHP, run the same time? I thought the one with S/C should be faster.

Actually, it's not quite what you think Jaws.
I put that last one in there to demonstrate the single biggest weak point in high-powered FWD cars... After a certain point in the horsepower numbers, MORE power starts equalling slower times.
Think about it... 203 wheel horsepower on street tires is already pushing it. But after you get through spinning in 1st and part of 2nd, you'll eventually grab traction and haul balls.
But with 330 wheel horsepower on tap applied to 7.5-inch wide 300A-rated street tires, the car will sit and spin... And spin... And spin... And spin some more. And after you finally gain traction at the very END of 3rd gear, you start moving.
Guess who was faster through the quarter?
The difference is, once that 330whp monster gains traction, it will absolutely rip past the little 203WHP weener like he was driving a Yugo. But it takes it better than an eighth of a mile to get that traction wink

Somebody saw it
Trap speed is the tell-tale here. Telling someone you ran a 13 second quarter mile starts meaning something ENTIRELY different when you trapped at better than 110mph.

I've set my goals on the Tiburon project as 125+ trap speeds, not a specific ET.
