Another newbie with a slow car...

[yamahaSHO]

Howdy, my name is Jason. I've read these boards in the past, but I just signed up today. I live in Denver and own a 2002 Honda Civic EX Coupe and a 1995 Ford Taurus SHO (supercharged). I say my Taurus SHO is slow because it has now motor in it currently, and the Civic is just slow, period.

Since the Civic is stock, there's nothing to explain, so I'll post a few pics of my SHO.

Here is my last dyno with the old stock motor before a spun a rod bearing at Second Creek.

Here are a few pictures of the car and what I'm currently doing to it now. The new motor is larger, stronger, and will receive quite a bit more boost.

Since when has this site ever cared if a car was an import or not?

[saabracr]

I seem to remember those yamaha 6s being able to rev. Either that or the last one I rode in was getting very abused.

Nothing wrong with being different.. I wouldn't do it either,but give some props.. He's gotten over 350 whp out of it.. nothing to sneeze at..

You may have to adjust your monitor... They are actually quite beefy. The machine shop impressed how beefy they were for what they are.

He's just giving me shit because I do the same to him. He's got a supercharged SHO too making similar numbers.

And rightly so!!

I figured my sig would have been enough to let anyone know I was just fucking with him.

Anyway... looking good Jason!! Can't wait to run them after your done. Should be fun, I'm shooting for over 400whp after the intercooler and smaller pulley.

[soGGy]

The SHO is no taurus IMO, those things can move. Yours in particular looks pretty sick.

[ggrajek]

can't say you see too much of these around!!

[blue]

[BlkThunder]
