they might be biased but ppl over on ek9.org reckon u can build a civic turbo with around the 400whp mark and it will be reliable as hell but i bet it wud cost a friggin fortune to built tho proper forged etc etc. wud be a real weapon tho lol probz rape any starlet turbo (cud be wrong on that one) :homer:

dan them civic's got more of a powerband than your starlet
yeah would cost slightl more due to having to get a sleeved block, but as you say super raliable and a shed load more power:drive:

jesus 30k, and only just in the 13's?? surely shud be faster?
There is a guy on the 106 forums with a Turbo'd 106 GTi - it's running 500 WHP. its completely un-useable. Spins in every gear.
It would be the same story with a Starlet (Or any FWD car for that matter).
AS for the guy who said, "Veyron teritory", are you having a f*cking laugh??

i dis it
i dont know he raced a rs4 and over took it at 155 (so he says) rs4 was restricted and on a airfield of course. i think most of the power was up top

Spot on. Such a car would only be useful to street racers over here (no drag strip), the sensible modders focus on building "balance machines" with priority on handling/braking and response more so than top end grunt...you would have to drive a typical Bajan road to understand why...

why do people always refer to a bad quarter mile time and then judge the whole car on that run...
My first few goes in my starlet i could only manage a 13.9, low 14's consitant. Then i went back there a couple of months later and cracked a 13.2 on my second go on that day!!
Quarter mile times have soo many variables/traction/weather/tires/tempretures/Wind resistants etc etc etc.... And not to mention driver ability.
That car would have alot more potential then a 13.9. Trust me on that one........ Just need to either learn to drive it better or find a better set up that works and deals with the power better....
the Vtec engines weather they are turbod or N/A seem to have very very good traction compared to other cars, probably due to their power band. And the "torque" distributed in more revs as apposed to all the torque in fewer revs..........
