1. Honda's aren't made to be 10 second cars, you have to make them.
2. having a 10 second car would be nice but its an outrageous goal, and you probably won't accomplish it.

To answer your question though, the easiest way to get a 10 second car would be to by a civic vx hatchback, swap in an engine (your choice, they all have their good points and back points.)

It's not going to be cheap, its not going to be reliable, its not going to be easy, and its gonna take a LONG time.

*Sigh* You've seen The fast and The Furious too many times.
We come on to Superhonda.com to learn, and be realistic in our dreams and aspirations. We DO NOT come onto Superhonda.com in order to faciliatate dreams that we saw in movies.
Welcome to reality, T&TF WAS A MOVIE!!!

But if you are serious, CRX or HB is the way to go, along with a paycheck the size of bill gates's wallet.

Get an engin out of an acura NSX and mount it in the back of an old civic dx hatchback. You have a real light car and a big engin. Only problem is that it would be real loud and hot in the car and there would be a lot of costumization to mount it in the hatchback.

actually mounting an nsx into a crx is a fairly good idea, so shut up.

anyways, 10s are going to be hard, i suggest an old stripped caged crx with a built nitroused trboed H22A and alot of work. not cheap, but it would be fun.

12s are alot more attainable. the best way is going to be either a crx or hb with either a B18 or H22 with a turbo. 12's you do in a decently reliable street legal car.

Let's review this:

NUKESILO:
"What engine would everyone reccomend that has the potential to run 10 sec, like what engine should i start with and what mods to it should i do? should it be a accord 6 or prelude 4 what does everyone think?"

TF&TF:
Aight what the hell is this
This is your car
My car? I said a 10 second car, not a 10 minute car
You could push this across the finish line or tow it......
No faith
oh I have faith in you but this isnt a junkyard, this is a garage.


So tell me how these two scenarios dont just seem to match up.

Seeing how this is SUPERHONDA.com and not superTOYOTA.com it would make sense that you ask about a 10 second honda.

If you wanted to run mid 12's then why did you not ask that first?


Accord dude: HAHAHAHAHAHA well, I dont see how that one made any sense. The whole point is to drive the car, not fry and bake the driver along with making him go deaf.

You are gonna need the car before you can start deciding what motor you wanna run. Different options for different cars. Also, is it gonna be streetable or just track??? These are things you are gonna need to think about.

first off, there's not that much out there for accord v6, but if you wanna spend the ALOTA money and do some BREAKTHROUGH research, by all means, i love to see all motor or turbo v6 do 10's.

h22 is proly goin to be your best bet cause plenty 10's cars run them, ppl figured it out and there's alota stuff out there for it. BUT this is gonna be alota money too.

and you serioulsy need to do some more research before you to superhonda, but thats why your here
