Is it possible to turbocharge a Civic FD? hehe

wala nang m/t na 2.0 kung brand new puro a/t nalang. FD can be turbocharged kaya lang panay eg, ek pa lang rin nakikita ko (dito sa don manuel-banawe st.) siguro this year (after 3 years and warranty expires) dadami na.

This is a nice comparo. I wonder if the wheelbase can also be a factor.

wheelbase comes in only during slalom attacks... wherein turning radius matters..pag drag-attack it desent matter... weight and torque matters...

Peak horsepower is not everything. It's the power curve that will tell you the whole story.

I have eaten up SiRs with my Project Sentra 2.0L with it's previously untuned engine.

My stock engine 1.8MT FD beaten up bunch of SIR's on the track several times. Im not a professional racer though.

You have better torque and a better chassis. SiRs are fast in a straight line, but the chassis rigidity and handling limits are actually lower than many more modern cars. A Honda Jazz can outcorner an SiR handily... as my cousin learned to his chagrin when he couldn't shake one off his ass on the BRC.
