Just get the fuck out and take your shitty Fox body/turd gen with you, fucking meth head

I wouldn't own a ford, and third gens are for trailer dwellers, try again. All I'm saying about ops pic is that you can polish a turd, but in the end it's still just a turd.

>getting this mad already

And here I thought /k/ was the easiest board to troll.

>putting money into a 4cyl/Honda

But why? You can't possibly make any real power, it's just a waste of money.

>turd

were not talking about 140hp 5.7l v8s here

>just a turd
And what do you drive?

Not a fan of the NA builds, but the early VTECs took boost like champs and make a shit ton of power for what they are

Mad because you got ran down by another 80's pony car?

>It's a bunch of nocar teenagers argue about things they can't afford thread

>for what they are

That's the keyword. There's no point to building up a 4 cylinder Honda engine when there's hundreds of other cheaper and way more powerful options.

And now that the novelty of boosted civics running down NA 8 cylinders has worn off, there's really no point.

That's every thread on Veeky Forums

At least you realize that much.

Definitely not the same sub-300 horse commuter you do where owners aspire to soup up a four banger.

>for what they are
Ding ding ding

Also, anything makes more power boosted.

80s pony cars aren't a problem, 160hp v8s don't run anyone down.

I've had my license for 17 years and currently own 3 cars.

>no point to building up a 4 cylinder Honda engine
Says who? You? lmao like your opinion holds weight
>novelty of boosted civics running down NA 8 cylinders has worn off
You're right, now they're running down boosted 8 cylinders
youtu.be/FghHghOaypM

I don't aspire to own one, but they're good options
This being known because I used to own a boosted EM1 and had a lot of fun with it, just seems like you're salty for other reasons

Caring about things you can't ever afford, so you get a shitty version of what you want.

>can't ever afford

>Saying grammar errors, make it not true.

You can boost a stock block b18b with arp main/rod/head studs to 400hp for like $1500 and it's pretty reliable.

Whats real power to you? 500hp+ on unopened honda 4 cylinders seems like real power.

I have heard it's hard to make over 300 hp on a stock b18, without destroying it

>I've had my license for 17 years and currently own 3 cars.
Then you should probably stop posting because your driving skills is better used on the road than on an internet argument about retarded muh v8 and muh hp per liter.

Still that engine produce good HP for it's size, but not a favorite of mine since those engines lack torque.

>this particular money pit out ran an LS

Ok then faggot, name a single 4 cylinder that's ran down a top fuel drag car.

Once again, I'm not saying they can't run with 8 cylinders, but you're fucking retarded if you think that you can get more power out of a 4 cylinder than an 8 cylinder without spending more.

There's a reason top fuel cars run 8 cylinders, because you would be spending astronomical amounts of money to get even anywhere close to the same performance out of a 4 cylinder as they do with big block 8 cylinders, if it's even possible to do without destroying your engine every run.

>being so assblasted he has to move the goalposts to fit his argument

>>there's hundreds of other cheaper and way more powerful options.
>>other cheaper and way more powerful options
>>cheaper and way more powerful options
>>cheaper and more powerful options

Lrn 2 reed.

Because your dumbass obviously misread the first post.

There's a plethora of better options than a 4 cylinder for drag and track cars.

>name a single 4 cylinder that's ran down a top fuel drag car
this fucking desperate. stop posting kid.

>There's a reason top fuel cars run 8 cylinders
same reason they are only allowed ohv and sueoprchargers... the fucking rules

>if it's even possible to do without destroying your engine every run
top fuel engines are trash after every run anyway

>There's a plethora of better options than a 4 cylinder for drag and track cars
yeah.. thats why 4 cylinders are so unpopular then... the mx5 isnt the most raced track car globally or anything...

a fwd honda can run 10s for fuck all money, as little as it costs a v8. you are ignorant as fuck and need to get educated.

daily reminder the fastest time attack car in the world is a 4 cylinder :^)

as a person who has built 10 second fwd hondas, they get far far more expensive the faster you go (9s or less)

a 9 second civic is a caged and gutted/cut up car on e85/race gas running 12:1+ compression with a 72mm turbo and 700-1000whp in a 1800-2300lb tin can, a 9 second muscle car is some boomer's weekend cruiser (with likely the same horsepower, just actually able to put the power down).

This whole fucking thread is bench racing bullshit, so fuck it
I seriously doubt a pigfat muscle car that weighs 3900+ lbs is going to be running 9s with anything less than 1200hp

Would you look at that... Someone who knows what they're talking about.

>a 9 second muscle car is a weekend cruiser

HAHAHAHA NO.

Then you're seriously retarded.

>youtu.be/EF1KVfK9gwk
>youtu.be/3lOo-lPKopA

There ya' go.

You'd be surprised.

There's some dude here who drives around in his 10 second Dakota.

I've seen 10 second muscle cars with twin turbos on LS motors with slicks in the back. As long as you don't rev it to the moon and spool up the turbos, you're ok

come on these dubs

>a 9 second muscle car is some boomer's weekend cruiser (with likely the same horsepower, just actually able to put the power down).
yeah no.. you are a dumb fuck if you think an 1800kg boomer cruiser with the same power as a 'gutted/cut up' civic is as fast

those arent some baby boomers weekend cruiser
way to make yourself look like a fool

>both are stripped and caged
9 seconds requires serious work no matter the platform and makes the car hellish to drive on the street if it's even legal to do so.

>have twin turbo LS
>can't spool turbo because 7Mfag says 'no'

>>I seriously doubt a pigfat muscle car that weighs 3900+ lbs is going to be running 9s with anything less than 1200hp

Just posted two videos of 9 second muscle cars with under 1200hp.

You guys are the fools.

he doesnt know what hes talking about. civics run 9s with na builds

And an NA 8 cylinder can do that for half the price.

So yeah, he's right.

>Just posted two videos of 9 second muscle cars with under 1200hp.
Yeah.. A stripped out foxbody that isnt erven street legal
Thats not some baby boomers weekend cruiser

Everyone here is mad and you should stop.

>a 9 second civic is a caged and gutted/cut up car on e85/race gas running 12:1+ compression with a 72mm turbo and 700-1000whp in a 1800-2300lb tin can
and yet civics still run 9s with na builds... hes wrong. stop moving goal posts.

>civics running 9s N/A
>Anything with 4 wheels running 9s N/A
You need to be on the bottle minimum. Unless you retards are talking 1/8 mile.

You said nothing about baby boomers, bud.
You literally just said "I seriously doubt a pigfat muscle car that weighs 3900+ lbs is going to be running 9s with anything less than 1200hp"

Not a single mention of being a baby boomer's weekend cruiser.

...

YO

FUCK

YOU

>a 9 second muscle car is some boomer's weekend cruiser (with likely the same horsepower, just actually able to put the power down).
see please try keep up with the discussion :^)

also your videos showed two stripped out cars, one that isnt even street legal... so what the fuck are you actually talking about?

>hurr durr can't make 9 second burgercar a beach cruiser
>lol yes you can, here's how
>nuh uh 7M is fagtarded

0/10 apply yourself

>can have twin turbo LS motor
>can't spool the turbos or rev the engine too much

You literally said that here

Not hard at all, it's all in the tune. But you absolutely have to run forged head/main/rod bolts or else it'll fly apart.

You fucked up a bit, that first back link should be

The amount of 4 cylinder fags moving goalposts and then crying about moving the goalpost is staggering.

how are they moving goal posts?

Yeah, that's the point. As long as you don't spool the turbos, it's as mild mannered as any LS powered and therefore will make a great cruiser. Spool the turbos and put a set of slicks on the tears and 10 second car.

>Whoa whoa whoa, the initial argument was why put money into a 4 cyl
>Because with boost they're fun and it's an option
>Mad V8fag starts talking shit about not being faster than a V8
>Show video of turbo 4 BTFO FI V8s
>Gets butthurt and proceeds to imply that because 4 cyl engines aren't in Top Fuel Drag cars they are inferior

The assmad GMfangirl was the one moving goalposts the whole time

That looks fucking stupid with the cam gears and timing belt exposed.

Argue all you fucks want, it's street legal.

9 second 4 door barge

youtu.be/ryQfnV3M3pk?t=54

I don't mind the top cover being gone because I like to watch the condition of my timing belt but there's no fucking excuse for the bottom cover being missing.

Those were great engines. I think some racing companies fit them up to 800hp.

Now the civic engine has some weird cavity around the cylinder sleeves; disgusting.

Those old b16 engines were really works of art.
