What kind of 1/4 mile times do CL's with Turbo's run?

I would assume mid 12's or so, but does anyone know of any times?

TheWeez

Low 13's, maybe just into the high 12's if you have a very good driver. It'll always be wrong wheel drive and a heavy pig.

there used to be videos of that member who made his own turbo kit. He ran 12s but i don't think there was a video of the 1/4. There were stories of him taking out porsche's and crazy cars.

TheWeez

Time slips or it never happened. Shop I get my work done at had a turbocharged Sundance/Shadow. It ran low 11s in it's prime and still ran mid 12s easily when it was a loaner car. Use to kill all kinds of stuff in it. Still, no time slips to prove any of it so it never happened.

ya i hear ya. there are no slips or videos anymore. They've all been removed/not hosted anymore. It was Allmotor_2000. You can read his stories here:

go to the dyno section and click on the turbo CL-S thread by Allmotor_2000. Then you can click his profile and see all the posts created by him. You'll find all the stories there.

Edit, that link works for me??

A turbo'd CL should be in the 12s.

#1 reason I sold my kit

If we had traction (AKA RWD) low 12s would be absolutely no problem.

1/4 times, what type of gas are we talking that is running on then... , easy to raise the boost with the higher octane gas

then as far as tires, are we talking like daily driver type tires or some slicks (that can also be street legal too lol)

just need better tires then....

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

Yea, tires, axles, mounts, suspension, rear diff.....

^ please jacob... this MG is comparable with civic but not with our heavy ass boat CL.

its not a race car. its quick its fun to drive... great car for DD not for drag or track

Thats cool and all, but see how hard it was to get off the line? Put the same power at the back wheels and see what happens.

There are plenty of quick FWD cars with big power, but they are light chassis'. A CL with 400whp will just spin through third (and possibly fourth) on its way to the high 12s/low 13s. That same power out back with the gearing we (6MT) have should easily get you into the low 12s.

To put that in perspective, there are quite a few Civics/CRXs with K20s that aren't even breaking 250whp running low 12s, high 11s. I expect my Civic to run low 12s with my shitty driving whenever I get off my ass and finish the damn thing.

Although, it would be cool to have a turbo'd CL because the BOV makes bitches wet.

I have seen fwd cars run sub 9 second 1/4 mile times. Also check out this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndaUT...layer_embedded of the new civic type r at the track against much better competition. I am always more impressed when ppl can accomplish things in fwd applications than rwd or awd. Yes i know that civic is slow in straight line.

StreetKA

iTrader: (8)

now we start talking about other 4 cyl FWD... im sure Civic Type R its a cool car and put k20 to old civics is worth it but iirc discusion was about heavy ass CL

Jacobpockros

iTrader: (1)

In my book, a CL running a high 12 is really cool and unique.

I want to eventually turbo mine. Who cares if it's fwd, we all know it would be faster than fuck

StreetKA

iTrader: (8)

it is.

I mean come on? A turbo'd rwd car at the track, never seen that before....

I CRX technically is a Civic in some regions. It was sold as a sub-model (Civic CRX).

Just making sure

IIRC the first gen was regarded as the Civic CRX on these shores.

Nice Avi, you taunted fatty sims didntcha'

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

but the one in the video is a 2nd gen though, so what a 88-91 or so, so technically not a Civic CRX, but just a CRX

richardparker

iTrader: (7)

I think my old 2gen crx owners manual said civic/crx.
could've been the same manual they passed out for both cars.

Better?

It was the same manual. My 88 hatch had the Civic/CRX manual.
