I have like 6000 bucks i can get my hands on. I can get a 95 civic for 1800 rip out the motor and put a b18c1 in it. Then thats about it.

And when i cant build my motor 700+ hp weight does matter.

So weight is a factor. If a 200 hp motor with a 2000 lb car runs 14, it would take a 600 hp motor to pull a 4000 to 14 seconds. Its simple mathmatics...3:1 ratio at sea level. But most of us dont live at sea level, we live above it, so that means te engine just has to work harder to pull that car to 14 seconds.

Wow is this wrong... a 600hp motor pulls a 4000lb car to a 14 in the 1/4? No.. My car weighs about 3280 empty, let's say something over 3500 with gas and me.. I have 550hp give or take, and run just a bit faster in the 1/4 than 14. Why not build the motor to be bullet proof... then get a SUPERCHARGER at procharger? Procharger.com. They are claiming 100% hp increase at about 14psi on your civics. The kit is MUCH cheaper than a turbo. You could be easily looking at 300hp. Screw the weight, build the motor.
