mikey4410 Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 Im with you on that but a little less.i would say 200 is plenty. Handling and braking are more important, these to with 200 is a setup that is special Quote
LukeColby Posted August 29, 2014 Author Posted August 29, 2014 Im running 206bhp on a ct9 turbo with a good break and suspention set up but now im use to it, it feels slow :/ Quote
mikey4410 Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 Luke thats bang on .all you need my friend. Ct9 is a great lil tuby and responds so well low revs and has a massively usable powerband. Enjoy it and have funAnd do a trackday or two. You will see how "slow" it is then when u beat over half the people there Quote
LukeColby Posted August 29, 2014 Author Posted August 29, 2014 Yh its quick and really want to do a track day but feel at 206bhp there is guna be alot quicker things about Quote
daniel_g Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 Yh its quick and really want to do a track day but feel at 206bhp there is guna be alot quicker things aboutYeah there is gonna be a good few quicker cars about. If youre wanting more power then go for it, if a car you own feels slow then that takes a lot of the fun out of it imo, start to loose interest etc. Just make sure you have the handling & brakes to make a 300bhp starlet safe first haha. My old GT was TD04 @ 1.1bar (no power figure) and that was a hell of a lot of fun Quote
5e colin Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) Most things in a straight line even if you can't drive lol... It will be quick I would race a 300 bhp starlet in my 200 bhp integra on a track all day long marc moss sorry but nooooo way i sold my 96 dc2r for a starlet no way its faster then a 300 bhp starlet !!!! on street or track Edited August 29, 2014 by 5e colin Quote
Ryan-11 Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 im going to get shot down here lol but 300bhp in a starlet is too much. wheelspin is pretty useless. for outright speed and acceleration in the real world 250 is the magic number - with a decent diff and suspension in the dry you should really be looking at just about hooking up fully in 2nd gear. my old car had 253bhp on a td04 and ported and polished head. dave burwash god rest his soul said it was the fastest street built starlet he had ever built at the time. i was hitting full boost below 4000rpm and it was fucking awesome. in the dry weather there really wasn't anything short of supercars that would pull on it through the gears. x2 Quote
Glanza Mac Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 No fwd old car can compete with a dc2 integra, drivers may differ but car for car. A dc2 will out do a starlet all day long due to there independent rear suspension for a start Rob. Quote
5e colin Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) mac a 300bhp starlet vs 200bhp tegr then its game over for the teg i know i owed then both Edited August 29, 2014 by 5e colin Quote
MARC MOSS Posted August 29, 2014 Posted August 29, 2014 marc moss sorry but nooooo way i sold my 96 dc2r for a starlet no way its faster then a 300 bhp starlet !!!! on street or trackTry me man, my dc2 is setup for track and I have spent loads of time on one to know what's faster.... On street yes all day but that's what turbos are all about but on a track? Really ? Quote

Bussey Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Integra DC2 is literally one of the worst rwd cars I've ever driven. Quote
MARC MOSS Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Integra DC2 is literally one of the worst rwd cars I've ever driven.Totally agree Quote

Krissyb Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Integra DC2 is literally one of the worst rwd cars I've ever driven. It uses those invisible driveshafts, thats why it's so terrible. Quote
FMuscle Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) Do you play video games? I do. Gran turismo 5 on PS3. 1997 Glanza. 249hp, 818kg. I enter and win level 20 races with it, opponents like Supra, NSX, Skyline, Impreza, etc. with around 350-400 hp. In my last race, my closest opponent was a MR2 GT-S, 5 seconds behind on 10 laps Tsukuba...Same in GT6.Anything higher than that I use my Mitsi 3000GT, 689hp, beats C5R, Lambo, Ferrari, Veyron... I should say, I only win because of the matte paint... I once overtook a mobility scooter.. Now I'm impressed! Edited August 30, 2014 by FMuscle Quote
LukeColby Posted August 30, 2014 Author Posted August 30, 2014 Im after fun on street and track so glanza seems the best option as it just so much fun even when i had it standard and feel 300bhp will be insane Quote
MARC MOSS Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Will you ever go on a track dude ? Why not just go for 250's as it will be plenty fast enough for you on the road Quote
Matt1878 Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 It's huge money to go from 240-250 to 300bhp. If it's not going to be a regular track car and it's going to be a road car for me you have to ask yourself .. Is it worth it?My Glanza is 237bhp and it's quick. Surprises a lot of the so called bigger cars pretty comfortably. Quote
Devs313 Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Sell the Glanza, buy a teg or civic and turbo that to 300bhp. Love GTs and Glanzas, but after owning both....turbo honda is a lot more fun with good handling to match.....more of a total package........ IMO before the Toyota v Honda war starts Quote
aaddzz123 Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Be brave and go for 300bhp on standard internals ; ) Quote
Matt1878 Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Be brave and go for 300bhp on standard internals ; )I just turned my boost up to 1.6bar on stock internals Quote
Ollieh17 Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 I get rid of my glanza in a heartbeat to have a turbo b18 EG civic or crx. Quote
Glanza Mac Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Or b18 turbo a Glanza? :-P I took my v on cadwell a I was beating evos etc with 170 Bhp n/a Rob. Quote
