160-170 at the wheels is not fast to me. If it is to you or him that's good.

Not even that fast, but after riding in some SOHC with FI I know that is not the route I want to go. It is a big improvement over a stock EX I'll give you that. Westcoaststyle will be what I consider "fast".

i was curious as to what you have.. i KNOW what he has.. lol and i had a friend named eric with a turbo h22.. that was QUICK (car also blew itself up but thats another story)... but the reality is, that is not the norm.. i think that if you cut a low 14 to high 13 that is decently quick in a honda civic... fast for a car that started its life making 16 sec passes on its best day...... although in reality after becoming intwined with the street racing scene in my area, and seeing 10 second mustangs make passes on the street that kinda shattered my whole perception of imports being quick.. 10 sec v8's are FAST... not 13 second hondas.. lol

If you don't mind me asking what are your mods and what times are you hoping for? Any dyno runs at all? That might give you a rought idea of where you should be in the 1/4

eh, hard to tell, roughly mid 14s maybe better...its going to be hard to tell becuase of my shitty clutch. hopefully i can cross the line @97+mph though. i havent hit the dyno yet, i have nothing to tune off of yet, i will once i get the vafc or safc and FMIC.

i run better on highways, in my longer gears, 3-4 with constant spool, its great.

oh my mods..
umm, apexi ball bearing turbo kit, thats really it for speed.
