prelude 12's itr 14's ?

[yelizardking]

why is it that a stock prelude can hit 12's/13 and a itr hits 14's in a 92-95 civic hatchback? (or am i just wrong here?)

[ChrisCantSkate]

tq. thats all there is too it. 30lbs more tq throws that thing forward

[yelizardking]

damn i shlould have known. so 200hp with more torqe does not equal 200 with high revving ey

[ChrisCantSkate]

nope. 200hp and 120lb/ft isnt nearly as good as 200hp and 160lb/ft

hp= (tq*rpm )/5252
so reving higher is obviolsy gonna give you more hp, but if your reving low yours making more power if you still have the same peak hp.

ahhhh i see, now this torqe, what exactly is it. i know it's measured in footpounds but what is it? i'm kinds thinking how much it weight it can move, or something like that, i'm not too sure.

[ChrisCantSkate]

its sorta like that. www.howstuffworks.com just read there, you will ifnd out alot of information on all sorts of questions you might ask here :cool:

[yelizardking]

exellent, thanks a lot man.

A B18C5 will most certainly run quicker than a 14. Hell a B18C will get you into the 13s in a hatch. As for the Prelude motor they are to brittle for me, im tired of rebuilding them.

[yelizardking]

what happens to them? the prelude moter that is? oh and what exactly happens when you blow out your motor? what gives up?
