quater mile times
quater mile times
hey i was curious what sort of time would a standard t2 do a quater mile ( 400 m) at just wondering
In standard form, the Honda City Turbo is a car that can hold it's own against most of the eras four cylinder 'performance cars'. From the factory, the Turbo II was able to sprint across the 400m (¼ mile) mark in a respectable 16.2 seconds. As a comparison, here are some 400m times of some 'hot hatches' of the era:
Suzuki Swift GTi 16.6
Nissan Pulsar ET Turbo 16.7
Mitsubishi Cordia Turbo 16.9
Honda City Turbo II 16.2
Thats in the info base... Here
on average probably not. you can make a t11 go faster than most starlets with some work. i have seen a starlet here in new zealand run an 11second pass. and i havnt seen a city turbo come close to that.
most starlets and citys will both run 14's with mild mods. the starlet has a bit more potential i would say.

perhaps, i think that could be quite a good city upgrade, im not too sure if its been done.
im sure theres a starlet forum somewhere and you could see what times they run.
btw 2fast4u i see your in auckland! we dont know anyone else driving a city turbs up here. we should compare rides sometime if u want.

Found Specs:135 ps (99.29 kw) / 6400 rpm, and that is at 11.7psi,16.0 kg*m (156.91 N*m) / 4800 rpm, where city torque is Largest torque (kg-m/rpm) 16.3/3,000.
This is at nearly the same boost as a cityturbo. So big deal, they make ~20 more Hp, the main reason for that is their higher power band they make that power 1000rpm higher than we do, that means our engines actually make more torque, which I recon makes for a more driveable car. Making more torque at 1500 lower revs makes the car a lot better drive IMHO, but yes the starlet turbo is probably a bit bigger, the city one is nice and small to give great torque and good around town driving.
The engines do have some impressive potential, but then again if you spent some decent money on a city engine they have f**king good potential too.
If someone spent as much money on making a city turbo go fast as some WRX and the like owners pay for a body kit of a new gearbox we would have som seriously quick cars, the only reason that you dont see cities peeling off 11 and 12 second passes is that no one has bothered to try. I believe with good tuning and parts you could make 200WHP from a city motor, and that with an LSD would probably get you down the 1/4 in the 11's.
As for the starlet swap you would have to use the starlet gearbox too, that solves your rotation issues, wouldnt be too hard, just have to weld some engine mounts to the chassis rails

Being many years ahead of a City in terms of head design and the advantage of being crossflow, I think you will find that with a little tickle a GT Starlet would go much faster than a City.
Such as these:
91 GT Starlet
114kw atw @ 9 psi
13.94 @ 158.50km/hr
11.84 @ 116mph BOOOST Bodykit.co.nz Toyota Starlet GT Ep82
13.5 @ 109 MPH Toyota Starlet GT
13.5 @ 173.3kmph Toyota Starlet GT
13.6 @ 106.5mph Toyota Starlet GT with T3
14.52 @ 153km/h Toyota Starlet EP71 4efte
Aside from the onei n the 11's all of the above are only 'mildly' modified with bigger turbos, better exhausts and intercoolers.
I have yet to see a city in this country run times anywhere close to those.
