Hey guys,

I've owned hondas all my life but have never put a turbo on one. what do you all think that a turbo kit (Ultimate Racing, Greddy, HKS etc) would do to our 0-60 times? Any guesstamations?

Thanks,

Mike

So it would be safe to say then that a stock WRX should still take our cars

Depends on the driver. Car and Driver pulled the oft-quoted
5.7 0-60 in a stock WRX, but to do that consistently, you have
to murder the clutch/drivetrain.

If you get a turbo, I think you'll want more practice on 60' times
than 0-60 times. A WRX can launch downright quickly (sub 2.0
if the driver is good), but if you can hang in there, you can catch
up quickly as well (stock 1/4 mile is ~14.5 @ 90-95).

and look @ the price difference from your car and a wrx.... spend 15-18k on your car, then an extra 3-4 grand for turbo and all the shyte that is included....then look @ the price you pay for a stock wrx....
