holy shit! someone knew that an '89 is an S13! haha, wow, i'm just not used to anyone on newschoolers knowing cars at all.
but... you shouldn't underestimate Honda's and definately not NA cars. My friend (who i mentioned earlier) has the H22A (JDM 2.2L DOHC VTEC), which makes 202 HP bone stock. the bolt ons (header, intake, full 2.5" exhaust, etc.) bring it to about 230, and the full Skunk 2 internals beef it up to about 295-300. Add in the Hondata tuned ECU, full MSD ignition, 370cc injectors, APEXi AFCII controller, 114 octane race fuel and he produced 384HP to the wheels on a FWD Dyno 2 weeks ago, and spun the engine to 10,250 RPM, making power the whole way. with the 8lb flywheel, 4 puck ACT clutch, and 225/40/17 Falken AZENIS and he runs a 12.6 s quarter mile at 124mph.
My 240SX is 2.4L DOHC turbocharged/intercooled, running 13lbs of boost, plus the mods listed in the other post, and he beats my ass every time in a straight line (although mine is RWD so it's tons more fun HAHA). Every saturday night in Philly at the street races he beats the SHIT out of corvettes, V8 'stangs, you name it. Now that is some straight up FWD japanese whoop ass... and he's not boosting or spraying
