I say you go and bust his ass.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

put the money on the table

i doubt it's ported and polished to be honest, sounds like something a hodna guy would just say cause it's hard to prove it's a lie, ya know?



i say run once for fun, and lose on purpose, then if you think you can take him race the next time for money...but he could do the same thing to you, lol.



kevin.

haha, true...... hussle his ass

I say, you just bust his ass the first time.. and give him no room to brag about beating an RX-7. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

I dunno I hear those vtecs are pretty quick w/good low end but hey they are nuthin to a rotary

Well, its not like rotary's are known for theire torque or anything.. but, I still think you should take them.. vtec of no vtec.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Bust his ass. Stupid swapping honda racers.



No work, just an engine swap and a couple breather mods. pfft. ;p

Only prelude I've ever lost to was my old friends. And that's before I realized that my 5th and 6th ports weren't opening. VTEC isn't that good. Stomp his ass.

Yeah, a real hardcore guy with a built engine would not have told you his specific mods, so this guy is probably bluffing..

Run it and make sure you doin't miss any gears

I think you got this one. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.png

btw, that mighty B20A is good for 135 crank hp. (100-110bhp)



Stock for stock, you beat it, being that you have 10-30 more bhp.



Both cars weigh the same, so it isnt a power to weight issue. Just don't miss a shift, and kill that tired 3rd gen. :P Hondas like to rev, well..so do rotaries ;p



But this is all anyalsis, go find out. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

You should be able to take him, I took many modded ludes w/ stock ports, when it was n/a....

well I raced him....what he said must have been true, we launched perfect, he pulled, then I gained on him a little bit and he pulled again my shifts were perfect but that honda had some power behind it....There was no money I was about 2 ft. behind him, we talked some, pretty cool guy just a bad choice in his cars, well in a couple months when I get my 20b 3 rotor swap I will stomp his a$$ and take his cash while I am at it, damn honda bastards....its all good. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/excl.png

20b swap? you'll beat a lot more than just puny old school preludes!!!!

wow im surprised. Oh well.

though b20 are rather good motors actually. Yea yea its a honda, but when you get them tunned right they run. That is the motor of choice for the all motor drag hondas.. so it is a good swap for him. Oh and yea Vtec really does make a little diff.. but not that much.

Yea, I think honda's doing a good job with creating as much power as they can from their 4 cylinders. I mean hell.. the RSX has what 200hp the last time I checked up on them.. from a 2 liter.. that's not bad.. but still bust his ass.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

move the B in a B20..... to the other side of the 20......



20B...... now thats good 2.0liter engine!!!!

Oh yea, there's no doubt about that.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png I'm just saying for a FWD honda.. it isn't bad.

with allthe work you have done you should be able to dip into the 13s, whats your weight and do you have any aftermarket air/fuel management? Probably a tuning issue.

If I can beat the fastest Honduh in town which is a CRX with a turbo, fmi, and about 10lbs of boost, with my n/a then what the hell happened, tune your car and do it again this time hand him his ass



P.S. The thing I don't get is that I've seen a 13 second slip, on slicks though (probably more boost too)

quit being such a bitch an go find out, rather than talking about what you could do
