civic hatchback with LS swap vs. supercharged scion XB lol

[mikesrex]

I want to see this happen, when are yall gonna do it? I think the hatch will win, but if it loses then that would be full of lulz and win.

[Justin]

How'd you know?I'm down. I need to get my maf replaced though.I'll run him with fucked up maf if he wants.

[Justin]

If anybody knows that guy,get him to join up.I kinda know him but not that well.

[mikesrex]

he's basically family to me. I don't think he does the forum thing, though. If he did it would probably be to buy/sell crap.

[Justin]

Yeah I figured you were cool with him since you built his motor mounts.Tell him I want to line up.I called him out couple times and he said he was almost out of gas or something.

[vr6dub]

so is the hatch running a stock LS or built? wut r the mods on this ls..i kno the xb mods...

[Justin]

Stock ls with intake and muffler and stage(?) clutch. Oh and supposed head work,Mike can chime on this because he supplied the head I believe.

[vr6dub]

how would u fair against a b16 hatch? with bad 2nd gear lol i might be down to run ya for fun.

[Justin]

I'll race anything for fun.lol I have a bad maf so i'm not running that great but i'll still give it a go.

[vr6dub]

well mayb we can do a 3 way.. i have a b16 block with gsr head 2 1/2 straight pipe no exhaust loud as fuckkkkkk headers intake... stage 4 clutch that i cant get used to and a bad 2nd gear when tryin to shift at high rpms..

[Justin]

I'm down.I won't win against you but it's all for fun anyway.

[vr6dub]

dude the hatch is slow..im sure the xb can take it..from the kills youve posted i dont think i can beat some of them..

[Justin]

I'm making like 140hp.lol With a bad maf.Enough said.

[vr6dub]

it will be good race..now we gotta see wut mikes friend has.. this is my car btw

[7.3Lover]

mike r u talking about daniel mccown's hatch

[FB_RX-Seven]

dang since everyone is wantin to run the Xb i think the RX deserves to join in the fun hahaha

[pooprajoe]

is this hatch a blue hatch with rims?

[mikesrex]

mike r u talking about daniel mccown's hatch

yeah it's Daniel's hatch. It's a stock LS swap with a clutch, intake and exhaust.

[Justin]

dang since everyone is wantin to run the Xb i think the RX deserves to join in the fun hahaha

Okay.lol

[FB_RX-Seven]

yeah it's Daniel's hatch. It's a stock LS swap with a clutch, intake and exhaust.

is it lowered.. rides around nederland? i think ive passed him a few times

[mikesrex]

yeah it's lowered a lil bit, on some 17" rims (think they are C2's but I can't remember)

[pooprajoe]

I believe I know which one your talking about, did this guy recently get the ls put in or did he buy it that way.

[mikesrex]

he bought it with the LS with a blown headgasket. So far we've had to solder every one of the wires on the ECU plugs (previous owner had them twisted and taped lol), change out the HG, rebuild the transmission, install new clutch and flywheel, make motor mounts, and probably some other stuff I can't remember. All in all I like the lil hatch. he got it for a decent price, and all the work it has needed was simple easy stuff.

[trollin]

blue one at the park last night?

[mikesrex]

probably there doing ricer burnouts and otherwise being a ricer while sporting his "rambo" style hairdo being emo LOL

[Justin]

blue one at the park last night?

Yep.

[iheartJDM]

Ill run the xb in the Si =]

[vr6dub]

So when is this goinng down

[pooprajoe]

I believe it will be the xb all day long...atleast 1.5 cars if not more.

[Justin]

I did put a couple cars on the LS powered Teg..But I can't figure out my maf problem.I changed it out today is still having problems.I'm thinking a bad wire or something.

[Justin]

I lost.I admit defeat.In my defense my car is still running like shit.lol His car is quick for a LS.

[mikesrex]

cool deal, glad a run went down and yall figured out what was going on. Rambo's...oops I mean Daniel's hatch should run low 15/high 14 on the tires he is on. I could probably get some low 14 out of it and maybe even a high 13 on a pair of sticky tires. Eventually I want to spray it and get some solid low 12 out of it. That's usually what LS on a 75 shot will get on a pair of slicks.

[Justin]

I didn't realize how bad my clutch is gone until we ran tonight.I need a new one asap.On one run I had no clutch at all and had to force it into third.Oh well.It's gonna blow or it's gonna go.lol

[Justin]

I've already narrowed it down to a couple clutches.Are lightweight flywheels worth the money?They're like 300 bucks for the xb.

[FB_RX-Seven]

have u talked to triangle clutch? they built mine for less than 100 with me giving them a core and mine grabs like glue even with 7500 rpm clutch dumps and sticky tires

[mikesrex]

+1 on Triangle. Ray and his guys over there always take care me on clutch discs, flywheels and freshening up pressure plates.

[Justin]

But wouldn't I do better with a 3 puck or something rather than my stock one rebuilt with a harder compound?

[FB_RX-Seven]

if you get a 3 or 4 puck i think ull regret it. he didn t rebuild my stock clutch. he just used it for the core charge and gave me another clutch with a stronger pressure plate.... idk what material the clutch is made of but it grabs really strong but isnt like an on/off switch. still has some slippage for driving in traffic and stuff

[mikesrex]

But wouldn't I do better with a 3 puck or something rather than my stock one rebuilt with a harder compound?

I usually throw in a 4-puck unsprung in everything lol. don't get the kevlar one. get the metallic one he has. it may be called organometallic or something like that, can't remember.

[Justin]

How much would that cost?

[mikesrex]

crap didn't notice your last post lol

the 4 puck unsprung disc is usually around 92 bucks when I get one for a teg

[Justin]

Isn't unsprung alot stiffer than sprung?I want a beast ass clutch,but don't want it annoyingly hard to daily my car.

[GODZILLA]

can your tranny handle a unsprung clutch?....i know some cars trannies cant handle them

[mikesrex]

if you think the shock of the clutch engaging might break something, get a 4-puck sprung. I'm so used to Honda transmissions, I can sidestep the clutch at 9500 with no worries out of the hole and then full throttle shift with no clutch the rest of the way down the track lol.

id go sprung jus my 2 cents
