    Well lets face it, your Accord isn't that fast. Sure its faster than stock, but I doubt it will beat a Mustang, unless this Mustang is a 6-cylinder. You are running on stock engine management, don't expect much.

    Re: street race... timing opinion

    true, more than one way to skin a cat

    but, keep in mind you have only had it running a month or so correct?

    I notice that no matter what mods these type cars get, the times are still hubbering in the low 15 high 14 Et. I think unless you have slicks and some serious axle work, some weight loss and a hella good timing and fuel maps done on a dyno tune.... they seldom break those times. Doesn't matter if you have 130-250 HP or more at any peak time.

    Running your car set up like it is, is like having nitrous ....sure it runs out but it creates a lot of premature wear.

    Re: street race... timing opinion

    If you do up the timing I'd run some race gas in it for that race just to be safe.

    What Ford is it? I think your running about 15 flat right according to your 1/8 mile times. I used the morso calculator online.

    Re: street race... timing opinion

    not alot of people viewed or responded to any of the 3rd gen accord buddy? for one its not as popular as the civic or any other car that performance parts are just right around the corner. and my set is for me and my likings. i know the right people to answer my questions ,and plus majority of the people on this forum don't know how to rebuild their own engine. so those cant talk unless they willing to race. i still have plenty of potential in my car. REMEMBER this set was for those who were interested. put $500 your car to knock a 3secs.

    the mustang is a V6 94. exhaust, lighten pulleys, short shifter, intake. he postpone the race till thursday he feels though he needs 150 shot nos to beat me. but the thing is, he dont work on his own shit so will see if hell give me something or take the nos off and ill give him the break.

    Custom why dont you take it to the track? Peidmont says they have no problem with grudge races. Go 2 out or 3 in case you blow your launches and make it worth his NOS cost.

    Re: street race... timing opinion

    It may be true that a lot of the people on this forum can't build their own engines. However, I did not see you build your own engine. Sure you pulled the head off, I can do that, it may take me some time but I know how its done. Even CAH(DarkAccord) can pull a head off. You should clarify what is your interpretation of building an engine. I see it as pulling the engine completely apart, replacing pistons, rings, bearings, boring out the cylinders, head work, all new hoses seals and things of that nature.

    How are you not running an intercooler? Honestly I have never seen a turbo setup without one. Do tell.

    Good luck with the race. Since it is a V6 Mustang you will probably beat it. They are slow.

    that mustang was full of shit... all are. he scared to come out and play, turns out he wasn't getting nos. believe me im very upset about it. i raced a vr6 at night which is on their now...i know i max out the speedometer and then some.

    and russiankid -its pretty obvious... if you can redo as much as i did to the engine, as far as i'm concerned. you can rebuild a engine. anybody nows that you have no business cracking open a block if you cant put it back together. really look at the video THE PISTONS ARE OUT. your a kid....

    Re: street race... timing opinion

    V6 mustangs are crap, still dont know the outcome till you race though..

    on the note of your car.. yes some people are saying your setup sucks that have never taken a motor apart or worked on turbo systems... but i do recall almost every turbo accord owner on here commenting on your lack of control in your other thread, your motor hasnt blown up yet becuse well the A20 can take a real beating, but i will more then bet if you did a compresion test on that "rebuilt" engine it will not show as high of numbers as it did.. im truely shcked nothing has broke yet on it, that setup must get extremly hot, added to the fact you dont have any type of time to let the car idle after you shut it down is just begging for problems. FMIC's are cheep and cheeper if you pic up a used one, why screw up all the work you did becuse your to proud of your crap setup now

    Just because I have "kid" in my screenname that does not mean I am a kid. I am not an idiot when it comes to cars. I have torn apart a lot of things on a 3gen accord, and for some strange reason it still drives like a beauty today. And what video should I be looking at? And what have you redone to the engine? What I don't understand is how you are saying you have redone so much to the engine, yet you still are running on stock engine management. I am not well knowledged on boost, but I do know that you need to upgrade your engine management if you want the engine to last. Not to mention you aren't running and FMIC or a turbo timer.

    So before you call me a kid think again. If I was a kid I wouldn't have two cars that I know how to take apart.
