go look at some sites the hanna racecraft stage 5 kit cost 9000 and that includes eveyr theing for the motor and ecu intake every thing all left is tranny and suspension and i seen a guys time slip he ran 11.7 with 1.7 at 60 ft with no nitrous just turbo stock tranny no limted slip dif no aft market axles also i dont know were you are looking but your evo **** is about 1.5 to 2 times more money then the **** for the 420a so take you heads out of your a$$ and do some recheach befor you make comets like that alos my car weighs in at roughlfy 2500 lbs and down that track wat good is awd with a good set of drage radils and proper set up it would hook up. and why dont the cars at drages civic and **** dont have awd and once in a wile u will get a fast 1 with the right person behind it. oh to your evo look at totla price i paid 1500 for my talon no dings no dents runing motor every thing fine. forget comparing them to evos evos have differnt eng. tran. body style. every thing budy. but it like comparing a doge hemi to a sbf not even the same enginge. later

drag radial will NOT hook up with suspension. you need Slicks at 2500LBs and 600+HP drag radials will not hold. Parts for the Evo are not that expensive my friend unless you insist to on buying only HKS parts that is. I can pick up a 42r which is a turbo capible of 1000HP for $2k that doesnt mean after everything is all said and done. trust me $20k is not going to cut it. youll be close but not where you expect I compairing to the Evo because the Evo is a car that actually takes well to mods compaired to the POS 420a motor. the Evo can make 400HP on bolt ons these days. $2k you get 400HP. Dont tell me I need to research I know damn well what it takes to run 9s and make 600-700HP. TRUST ME it is not as simple as slapping in a few mods with a big turbo. Im sure you have done your resrearch but your still too far off with your ideas on price ranges. could careless what you paid for your car that is not relivant. you can go spend $100k on a ZR1 vette and run low 10s if it matters that much. the thing that is funny is your basing off of what the worlds fastest 420a right? Thats like me saying I want 1100HP on my Evo since AMS can do it and they can run nearly 7s so I thats what I am going to do. Is that realistic? come on now. There are very few joe shmoes out there that even come close to the record holding cars weather its a 420a for a Evo or a civic reason being funding, tools, tuning all that stuff.

20k.. hmm lets see.
a turbo to push 700whp = apx 1200-1400 right there
intercooler + pipes + bov + quality couplers = 1000
Pistons, Rings, Rods, Bearings, Head Gasket = 1200
Suspension setup to hook up at 700 Fwhp = 2500
Manifold, Downpipe, 3-3.5" exhaust = 1500
EMS = 1500
Head = 2000
Race Transmission = 2200
Race Axels = 500
Gauges, misc electronics = apx 1500
Boost Tunable nitrous system = 1000
TUNING TUNING TUNING = heh 1000-4000
nope loooks like he probably could run about 700whp with 20k invested.
BUT
1. It's FWD so you are looking at a best of probably high 10's - high 11's depending on the driver.
2. You need Slicks to get any traction and Braking system to stop you - additional 3000
3. You would have to install a roll cage if you broke 10.0 - thats another 500-1500
4. You could build the same HP on a GST for half the money and same HP on a GSX for half the money and pick up a second+

Final piece. If you have a $hitload of money and really don't care where it goes and you can basically use Benjamin's to wipe ur @$$ than nobody in their right mind would want to push a 420a anymore than 200-250whp.

Trade/Sell ur RS/GS, save 1000, you can buy 20g 1g GSX's for 2500 these days, that's good for 400whp.

We aren't trying to be mean, just trying to save you the headache that i went through. I was just like you about 2 years ago, i had a:
turbo,manifold, bov, FMIC, IC Piping, SAFCII, Pistons, Rods, Bearings, ARP Studs, Cometic HG, Boost Gauge Wideband, 3" exhaust, custom down pipe. but then realized that i had just spent 2500 dollars on all of this crap (a lot of it was 2nd hand stuff that i got for GREAT deals if not free) and i was only going to be able to push about 210-230whp. After i installed my forged internals i still couldn't push any more until i got a Walbro 255 fuel pump, stage 3 clutch, injectors, Engine management and a boost controller (which is apx another 1500-2500) and THEN i could run 16-18psi but not until i was tuned... another apx 800-1200 right there. After that i was hindered by the head, it's only functional to flow up to about 16-18psi on a small turbo, so once i spend another 2000 geting the head where it needed to be i was good up to about 350-370whp until the axels/transmission were toast.... do you get my drift? We're just trying to save you a lot of money, time, and headache when there are much much much easier, cheaper, less stressful ways of getting to your goal.

ok so he ran an 11.7...who cares. thats nothing new to me. What i am getting at is you are talking about something altogether different that that. At an 11.7 that person is maybe at 400hp. You are saying 300hp more than that. There is a HUGE gap there.

And once again i want to see some info on this 600hp hahn car running 9's. Because i have never heard of them reaching that.

And if your talking about the stage V portfueler. That is an upgrade to the other stages. I dont think they sell it separatlly. If they do please provide a link to this because i couldnt find it

Okay, wait a sec here.

If this moron actually thinks this is plausable, why the hell not let him try and fall flat on his face? I know it isnt going to happen, you all know its not going to happen, but who really cares?

What i really don't get, is why the hell you want to do this all with that piece of **** 420a and the gay *** FWD setup, when you have a perfectly good AWD 4G63 platform available.

Seriously, NO car is going to be able to get 9's for anything near 20k.

How can you argue this?
