  • A 2 liter sleeved and build b18 and a built trans will run 8s without meaningful issues pretty much forever, as long as you don’t launch at 10k rpm every single time. Mine is on it’s 6th season and 30k street miles, albeit on low boost (tuned for 1090whp, but I track it at 840 and street it on 600) and the closest thing it’s had to a rebuild is a head gasket and timing belt replacement because 4 hours is a small price to pay to protect a 6k motor. That and frequent motor oil and trans fluid changes, of course.

    I take no problem with telling how much building a really nice car could cost, but you made it sound like 110k is the minimum cost and all I’m saying is not really. That, and the notion that high HP Hondas necessarily can’t hang with the power output are verifiably false


  • 1995 civic shell, ~3k if mint

    2000 CRV AWD manual transmission, 1k Upgrade the diffs and gearset for 5k for 6k total

    Fully built, sleeved, and bored to 2L b18c motor ~5k easy all day long

    If DIY, misc chassis parts (motor mounts, brakes, tires, traction bar, etc.) 3-4k

    Turbo setup with a good quality turbo ~4k

    Misc supporting mods like injectors, ecu, upgraded rad, etc. ~3-4k

    All in you can pull off a 1,000hp b series AWD build (AWD being a luxury in the Honda tuning world) 26k that’ll throw down 8 second miles all day long
