Hope u got deep pockets. If u wanna reach that by goin all-motor thats some serious money there. U'll probably get there quicker by going turbo but i never bin turbo'd so someone else that has can help u out. But im pretty sure u still gotta have some money 2 reach them 400-450hp.

- Tue Sep 27, 2011 2:50 am #274739 There are alot of options out there. Are you going to drive this car daily? Want to keep AC? and powersteering? Have decent gas mileage?

If I were to go that fast, I sure as hell wouldnt do it on 75!! FHP is all over that interstate!!

well an EG isnt an EVO by any means, I have owned both. I suggest doing some research on the different series of Honda motors, H, K, B, D, F, J, Etc...and make a choice on which platform you want to build on. Almost any of them can get you to 160mph quickly, its all in how you build it.

- Tue Sep 27, 2011 2:55 am #274744 It will kill you sooner or later dude. Not telling you what to do, but basically what you already know. My uncle smacked a tree in his Honda Civic, the speedometer needle was pinned at 140 mph. He lost control due to a tire blow out, bet he would take it all back if he could, but he can't.

Anyways, back to your question. A GSR turbo with 450whp with an LS tranny will get you up to those speeds. Just know that spinning at that speed constantly will destroy your motor after a while. Be safe, dying isn't worth going fast, just go to the drag strip and run it at high speeds.
