Cobalt vs k24 hatch
Okay so a guy around town wants to run his Civic hatch with a 2006 k24 swap in it. He says he only has the swap nothing else. We are racing from a 60 roll. Who will win?

really depends, k24 is like 210 HP just the swap. but if he can swap why stop there.. your looking at
a 200-300 HP car N/A weighing prolly under 2000lbs. If your stock with a driver mod maybe you can get him from a dig but i would be cheap and give him a 50-60 roll to feel it out a bit.

i have full boltons, zzp transmission with 4.05 gear, zzp stage 4 clutch, ottp stage 2 trans mounts, and a m-dub tune. I dyno'd at 329whp 404tq. I think the hatch has a k24 swap with a k20a2 head and its a 94cx
would break boosting really help since stock turbo spools fast?

Yeah, at least from a roll I think it would help just a little bit. I think it may be close but you should have him.
Side note, +respect for getting a trans before even a turbo swap don't know many people who do that but good idea!

well it is a guy in high school and everyone around knows i am the fastest cobalt around so if your the fastest your gonna have a target on your back for someone to beat you. I do not think the guy can drive. I havent told him anything about my car other than an intake and front mount. Thanks man. The transmission was put in because one shop told me the trans screwed up but it was the zzp stage 4 clutch the springs in the disc came out. So i put a transmission in for nothing. Plan on going with the efr within the next week.

i would do the same thing with the transmission but zzp doesnt ship them out no more and im too far to drive and install otherwise i would have just gotten it as i just broke my 5th gear recently i wish i had a zzp trans, such horseshit! lol.

well i may do a 50 roll because i am right at 3000 rpms at 50mph and it gives me more pull. Just depends on when i see the car. I have a feeling the car has a little more done than what he is telling but i can almost bet i will pull him from the start because a honda doesnt make that good of torque. It will be videoed by my friends in there 400+ sti's

He will definitely grab you off the lights to about 80-100 but after that you will reel him in fast. From a roll he will hold on to your bumper for all of third but as soon as you grab 4th it's game over for him. I've done this already and I have the same numbers as you.

In OP if you said your racing from a 60 roll you should walk on away from him. I have raced countless hatches with straight k swaps and hybrid k swaps ( k24 block / k20 head ). Unless he is well bolted and has a decent tune on the car you should walk on away without problems. He will need to spin his car to the upper power band to consistently hold power where your instant tq will give you the jump and keep you pulling. Now if it was done at lower speeds where his inability to spin could play a factor in him jumping you would have to play catch up but from that high of a roll you should be able to walk on away.
But with any race just do it and find out the results.

Im sorry but 400TQ to the wheels will lay down the law on this honda. Hes got like 150? lol
Of course bagging your FWD off the line the honda will have the edge. But im pretty sure you could have 4 x 220+LB passengers and still pull on him on the highway <_<
Lets be realistic about this, 400TQ is f*cked in a FWD car - kinda a different angle of performance compared to a N/A honda swap :\

well guys i raced the hatch lastnight. I pulled bus lengths on him from a 55 roll. After i beat him he told me what he had. His mods were a vtec controller set to 3500, crowder cams springs retainers and valves and he was spinning 9k rpms.

yea just tell what you have. Its not like i wont be able to tell after we race. Saturday night my buddy just finished turboing his b16 em1 civic. Him and i decided why not do a friendly race and see actually what the cobalt has. We raced from a 55 roll i pulled a little til he hit 4th gear then it was game over. After we raced he said he was running full e85 which i knew because you could smell it. The guy who tuned it said he should be around 380-400whp so when i get the efr it should be a better race
