DSM = Do Some Maintanance.

Something you honda boys arent used to lol. That, i will always envy about hondas.

If you dont mind reliability.. then go for it.

On a 20g... my guess is that hes running about 400ish whp.. and thats about the limit of that motor.

Maybe you missunderstood me... i was saying Hondas are really reliable.. and DSMs suck in that catagory. If speed means more to you than reliability.. then you will love it.

The stock engine can handle about 400 wheel horse power. Built motors can handle 800 depending what pistons and rods.

They definatly have more potential than the civic. You will quickly fall in love with all wheel drive and instantly HATE front wheel drive.

So he is changing it back to stock?

No he's been working on the car for almost a year now he was buying everything new except from the engine everything else is brand spanking new.

Ok, that setup you described would push the car past 400hp. Personally that makes me nervous.

If you dont care... then by all means to it.... its a ****e load faster than your civic (not knocking it...its just the truth)

I would also be carefull... thats a lot of power that your not used to.

At this point... if you want it.... its worth it.

With spray no doubt.

Well with a 20g.. that turbo is common for setups in the 450hp range
