i was talking a guy last night. he had a red civic with a JDM 210 HP GSR engine in it. all the expencive stuff, skunk2 intake manifold, dont rembember the headers or exhaust but he said he ran it flat 13. it was a 92-95 hatchback. doesn't that seem a little slow?

I dont think a JDM GSR engine would have that much stock, unless he has a good number of mods on it. 13 seconds slow? Thats near the NSX, thats not slow. Dont believe him until you see some time slips. He says this, he says that. No respect unless I see slips
i think 12's are a nice street car. thats just my opinion tho. he works for honda...so i dunno where he got the specs, went he said he had that engine i said "oooh, 180 hu?" and he said "no, actually its 210 spec"....so i just believed him and went on. he didnt know alot but he didnt know some little things for the rest of the convo...

if its a "stock" JDM Type R engine its got 210 ps to the flywheel.
a JDM GSR wiith just intake and exhaust is pushing maybe 185-190 depending on what brand I,E. it would have to have some major interal work to be making 210 to the fly.
just ask him if it has an LSD and what the tranny type is and how long the gearing is (confuse him)
i was trying to...but when i asked him about the lsd, he said "yea i wish"....it was a real nice car tho. red, with carbon fiber hood, white rims, projectors...ugly red racing seat...the tenzor ones...overall it was cool.
one thing I just remembered the easiest way to see if its a type R is to check the number of LUGS on the front wheels 4-Lug GSR 5-Lug Type R this will work for USDM engines.
but not so sure about JDM GSR's and Type R's I think some JDM Type R's have 4 Lugs. either that or you don't need Type R axles when doing a Type R engine swap (USDM or JDM)
i think i may have surprised him a bit. he was filling out a ap for advance auto...i dont know why but he was. i work there and im 17, i started to ask him a few questions, then i kept getting more in depth. he didnt seem like he wanted to talk...i think my age may have bothered him.
