i am thinking of buying a sube...have some questions...

Subecowboy · 03-07-2001, 07:17 AM

i am TRYING to find a decent subie around here, but the only one within 200miles is a '98(unknown phase) rally blue 5spd with a couple mods...and he's asking $16,000(!).

i want to mostly auto-x, but i still want to be able whoop some VTEC ass on the occasional street confrontation. i was thinking of doing the normal tricks...i/h/e, ecu, cams, headjob...and MAYBE nitrous. what would i have to do to the engine to safetly run a 70 shot? 100 shot?

then i can control my power lvls only be scary fast when i want to. is this a bad idea? you guys know everything about these little cars, so i'll take heed if you say so.

thanks,
-Chris

If you are willing to run nitrous on a 16,000 dollar car, you might as well do the car right and run 15 lb of boost. people on basically stock cars running minimal boost have achieved low to mid 13's on the 1/4. That should be enough to whoop the occasional ricer's butt.
