How much would you spend for 350 w.h.p. that wouldn't affect factory engine? - Honda CRZ Forum: Honda CR-Z Hybrid Car Forums

Was thinking about starting a project on my car. When it's complete with dyno charts and drag strip videos who would spend 13-15k on this kit installed ? Also improving gas milage and possibly have an ev mode that the engine isn't spinning at all.

Ok your post seems a bit confusing, it sounds like your going to build a drag/race car and than resell it? Just an opinion alot of people arent into buying, predragged cars already, as we want to be the ones to break the engine in and enjoy it, and knowing that someone (and by proof with videos) was racing it and pushing it hard prior to me buying it from you isnt to satisfying....please if I am getting the wrong idea here let me know.

13-15k on top of the cost of the car? That would be hard to justify...

Sorry going to edit first post. This would be an add on kit that im getting figures together on. It will also make the car awd.

Sounds really interesting.. especially AWD.... looking forward to seeing what you do with it!

what's your plan for a transmission? awd starts at the transmission so I'd kinda like to know what your thinking.

It almost sounds like he is talking full electric on the rear wheels.. wouldn't require Trasmission change...

You got it. I think it would be awesome. Also traction control and full rear regen breaking almost completely to zero. It would be plug in so you could turn the keys on and everything but ac works without the motor running hence ev mode. I am trying to get pricing together now and avalability. Im sure if I bought enough for a few cars there would be a discount.

How on earth would you be able to synchronize that rear drivetrain with the front while the engine is running?

CRaZee · 06-27-2011, 03:32 PM

You could do it with a wheel RPM sensor.. but would not be easy....
