My buddy has a turboed civic coupe d16 y8 at 12lbs on a 14b DSM turbo which is max what those motors can hold, which yields 210-220whp depending on condition of motor. Car weighs in at 2335lbs, mine weighs in at 36xx. We ran from a dig twice on a closed road. 1st race I got him by 3 cars, 2nd race i got him by 5 cars. Pretty sweet little car he has, its clean on rota slips. I have a video but its on facebook not youtube yet.

I kept having to baby it through 1st and 2nd but still held the lead you can hear it in the video

I broke the new clutch in last week, i didn't go into any sort of boost for 350 miles 50 miles above the recommended break in :) It grabs so hard though

Ah, gotcha. Is it a 4 or 6 puck clutch?

Your car is only 36XX lbs if you have 2 ppl in it...curb weight on a '98 T5M S70 is 3250 or so. But still, fun race! Brings me back to the good ol' days of "rice rocketeering". :lol:

Not the ebay turbo ones.... :facepalm: Cheap ebay t3/t4 turbo B16's are still painfully slow...ask me how i know.

Depends, theres a turbo bubble here running an ebay 50 trim making 410whp and it hauls ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD.

Think its time for a rebuild i think i popped the headgasket, signs of problems

1) Slight oily sheen in coolant resevoir

2) Hard starts, it sputters to life

3) Car wont heat up properly, not stuck thermostat

There's no milkiness in the oil though :o
