Just beat a turbo civic.....

I stopped at a red light when all I hear is engine revving followed by a loud psssssshhh. This guy in a civic 4door won't shut the f*ck up and he's like 2 cars behind me in the opposite lane.

So the light goes green and I nail it, chirping 2nd I hit 65 and slow down. This civic, which from what I could tell had a big fmic, was switching lanes to catch up. So I slow down and give this guy a chance. He hits it while being 2 car lengths behind me and I wasn't even ready. So by the time he caught up to my car I had downshifted to 2nd and got going. We were side by side till the top of 2nd, then I hear his fuel cut off like a weird backfire kinda sound. I nail 3rd and keep pullin away hearing the sound of his turbo fading away.

We raced a couple more times and the same thing happened. After I had enough we both pulled over on a side street and talked. He had a t3/t4 turbo with all 3" ic pipes, greddy 3row fmic, external wastegate, running 10psi of boost. I was like holy sh*t!

He never ran it before at the track but he's gonna come down with us to island dragway this wednesday. Anyboday wanna come let me know. \

Re: Just beat a turbo civic.....

oh I forgot to mention that he had two passengers with him and I was alone. He also had 2 12s and amps in the trunk.

Wow, that's pretty damn impressive... I beat a turbo 1.6 from a stoplight to another stoplight, but then when we got lined up again, he pulled me after his turbo spooled up...

acutally it was a v-tec civic. He was telling me something about how when the turbo spools up and the v-tec kicks in, they fight against one another or some sh*t like that I was just like "oh ok I know what you mean" It made no sense. But anyway, I let you guys know what he runs this wednesday. Hopefully I'll hit 14s!!!!

nice

I beat my neighbors 90 talon tsi 5speed. He just has an intake and boost controller set to 15 psi. I barely pulled on him. When he upgrades his fuel system, gets some exhaust, and turns the boost up to 20psi, I have 0% chance of hanging with him. That's good for 13s right thurr.
