RE: why do ricers lie????
T67?!!!! freakin tard the 92-96 prelude si or vtec models had the h23 at best. i do know the 97+ had the h22 and all were vtec. maybe some of the 4th gens had the h22, but i dont really care. the point is that sized engine only needs a t3/t4 turbo in most cases. these turbos can spool in the upper 20s psi wise and generally spool well for a small engine.
-only a fully built and fully track prepped front-wheel drive prelude would need a larger turbo to do any better, but with FWD any more boost than say 15psi and traction is of course the only issue.
the t67 i believe is extremely popular for the supra, or is it the t88 now-a-days?
tt 300zxs are easily capable of mid 13s with a downpipe and upped boost.

i saw the rearend right before i took off because he went a little early on the first run and said lets do it again because he started in 3rd gear. I was pretty surprised at how he kept up though. Twig sorry for having a SC its all i know.

The 'lude in that picture is an h22, 190hp. It's the fastest prelude they made. They're a low 15s maybe high 14s car stock. A friend of mine has one with a JDM h22a1 swap.
It would need a pretty stout turbo setup to be walking SVTs consistently.

The twin turbo 300'z were the shizzle in the early 90's. In 1989-1990 I remember how much talk their maketing dept. made with their ads by saying it would out perform the base vette (not ZR1). And I hate to say they did back up their sh*t. Now I'd put a can of whupass on anything Nissan puts out including their new skyline (2009) . They are saying 400bhp but the body weighs about 2 tons.

Cody,whats up man? See ya over at Z28.com a bit.
1 reason for the Giant amount or ricer retards unrealistic about their rides....FAST AND FURIOUS.....Blahhhh!
I love cars for what they are not for what they are blown up to be. Civics are great when your trying to save ong as. My friend craig traded in his mustang GT convertible for a 99 Prelude. He dyno tuned it and threw a turbo on it and has blown the motor up twice. He gets 15 MPG and has realiability issues. ALl that just to run a 13.9.
I think its more of an exageration then it is a Lie. THey will have their little Junkers redlined thinking that the car beside them is putting trying to race in all reality your in your mustang jamming to your favorite tune oblivious to the fact they are even beside you. Your in 5th cruising.He's in 3rd Giving her hell.
You go home watch TV. He goes home and calls his friends...He just outran a mustang...LOL
In the TA ill let them get up all kinds of speed and wait until they reach my bumper. Ill be going the speed limit and Ill let them get up as much speed as possible. Once they reach my door@100 Ill catch their speed Almost as soon as I gun it and pass them a second later..
Its a wonderfule feeling. I do this to some domestic cars as well. lol

I think the ricer attitude and frequent bull****ting has to with movies and stupidity.
I remember when I was in high school I wanted a 5.0 or IROC soooo bad now kids want a B200UTQR123 powered Civic R. Most of them think CAI or a fart can is a serious modification. Driving a car like my Cobalt make for some interesting run-in's with ricers.
Then agian look at 14-18 kids these days, they weigh 110lbs when wet and aren't fond of hair cuts.
I can't say alot for all the 14-18 bitchy anorexic ***** either....................

300Z's ran high 13's back in the 90's. 13.8-14.3 in most articles. Thats almost identical to LT1 vettes times. One of my friends had one of those as well. I found it for him form a seller in Ohio and at the time they where going for 17k,we paid 7200. he ran a 14.4 stock. He put a Turbo timer,boost guage and cranked it up to 20Pd's and ran a 12.8. For their time they where one helluva nice car and they handled unrealistically good. Still look pretty good too. He sold it for a Crap load more then what I found it for.
