how much power for drift

[fastboy559]

im new here im coming from the honda seen to here.....im want to get into drifting .i was wondering wats a good hp number to go for for a decent to good driftcar...the car will be an s13 coupe i no suspension and all that come into play but am wonderin wat is a good number to shoot for other then the more the better....thanks guys

[thatdrifterguy]

150hp. stock ftw

[doomviillain]

not sure in hp but I just wanted to add that suspension and a diff play a key role in drifting so you might wanna invest in those instead. stock hp should be fine.

[junn]

my buddy use to get super sideways on his 86 corolla sr5 prob only doing 80 hp lol

dont need much hp

just a good diff, suspencion and some BALLS!!! lol

Oh, Hi, yeah I'm going to have to ask you to leave and never come back here again.

coming from the honda seen to here

Grammar much ?

think it would be "car scene" too Zilvia if im not mistaken ?

.....im want to get into drifting

OMG I totally know this, stand back people,

1) Get a douche bag hair cut.
2) Melt your springs to give me that rice effect.
3) Head to the local walmart and do some dounut burnouts in the parking lot.
4) Nothing says drift like +45's and FWD rims from my civic for a 240sx.
5) Watch every FNF movie.
6) Buy Tanner Foust's how to be a douche bag TV host book.


ok, now your started on he path to become a D1 pro but you're not done yet, see every cool drifter will need to speed through a school zone, to ditch the yakuza while your chasing Takumi on the way to the tofu shop.

g .i was wondering wats a good hp number to go for for a decent to good driftcar.

Think the best thing to do is find out how you can add veeeeeeeeeetack fluid to get that "veetakkickedinyo" effect once you do this people will not be able to catch up to you.

Oh right, and I suppose you will be using ratchet tiedowns to keep you bolted down in your seat while you're attempting to do this sort of impresive drifting.

fwd Honda civics were invented for a simple reason, just for people like you

^^^^
Not sure what that guy is talking about.



I'd say 200 horsepower is pretty darn good for scotting around the streets/track.

I handled myself pretty well with about 140ish, so I think 200 would be crazy.

[azndoc]

Why all the hate?

6 posts and 18 years old?

Everyone starts somewhere, give him a break.

[ReLevent1]

I think



Should suffice for drifting power.



but really corolla's do it with like 85hp to the wheels. so 120ish would be nice

[fastboy559]

damn ur pretty cool dude u must be like god or somethin ....o ur the guy that sits on forums just to talk shit i no the difference between fwd rwd dude so just because i had a honda im a ricer ok cool anyway thanks guys for the input and help ....I no about the diff and stuff like that im not stupid at all wen it comes to cars just was wonderin wat a good hp number was to have decent drift car so thanks guys that helped

[jesse_s13]

that was hard to read.

[fastboy559]

i no u can drift with stock hp but im sure u have to "flick"the car fairly hard was looking for a number that would assist me in doing so lol but im prolly just going to get a blacktop for it and good suspenions parts and lsd or welded diff

[travisty_]

Stock hp, learn to go harder and work on technique.

[sr20sean]

cant build a house without a foundation

that being said dont do power until you do suspension and drivetrain.

[gerson408]

if you cant find the rite information on this site mr.Arizona you dont belong near zilvia.net


stock hp works fine

My eyes and head hurt from reading that ^

[Nick_04K]

Wow. Pretty big flame fest haha.
Dear OP, please try using proper grammar and punctuation in your next thread and you will very likely get better results.

However, concerning your current question, the guys telling you to worry about suspension and a solid 2-way/welded/etc diff are correct. Once you have those, i would say anything over 250whp would probably very nice to drift. But formula d guys are using like 600whp haha, so somewhere in between is a good bet.

I second that opinion if you were talking about the super long hate post, it all been said and does not apply here.

Anyways...
I agree with all the opinions said about suspension and diff setup.
I would suggest coilovers, an LSD and then use any left over cash for tires/ track fees

...and watch the Keichi Tsuchia "drift bible" movie

Hey fucktard, look at your location, learn how to spell where you fucking LIVE before telling someone they have bad grammar. Maybe when you're older and have earned some kind of place to put people down or tell them to shut the fuck up.

Try posting this again.

Till then you sound like you've been trolling ziptied since you were 15 and have now gained enough internet bad assery to flame someone.

I came from honda's the guy obviously is asking a sincere question.

Based off of my own experience drifting (in grid) you will need at least a minimum of 656 horsepower, at that rate TQ is irrelevant. Second, don't ask stupid questions like that here on Zilvia.

I got flamed the same way when I joined back in 2004 and asked about sr20's and smog. And I am only returning the favor to the new blood.

[smoked240]

That dude is trying way to hard to be a badass zilvian.

LSD for sure. Good suspension. Coilovers. Hell even a nice set of shocks and springs would get by if you could not dump the cash on coils. But for the price of PBM coils and there quality I would jump on a set of them.

Says the Guy with 6 posts who obviously doesn't know what he is talking about. Flaming doesn't make you cool or respected.

ok thanks guy who didnt bash and helped!!! I know about the suspension and diff and all that stuff but ill prolly leave it stock and do everything else first then motor work/swap.What is a good affortable coilover setup for these 240's...Sorry i dont no shit about these cars yet.. I no in my world "i work at a race car shop that does a little bit of everything but mostly domestic drag shit" welded diffs are not the right way to do things,do they hold up fine in these cars? thanks again for helping a new guber out lol

[ericcastro]

Been on a welded diff and stock engine for 4 or 5 years now.
Drifts fine.
140hp maybe.
not even an intake.
Spent the first 3 years on shocks and springs with a welded.



I dont think its the misspelled words, its the stupid high school text lingo that people dislike. this isnt your phone, this is the internet, ya know
(and this is coming from the worst speller here, lol)

[brndck]

To the op, PLEASE learn how to spell. All the no/know bullshit is making you an extremely easy target, especially when you're asking very noobish questions.
Like many have said, stock kade power is more than sufficient for drifting. A good clutch, LSD, and suspension/alignment are far more vital than big hp numbers. Only increase hp once you gain experience.

[Rag]

You don't need much power to drift. Just get some practice, technique and a well setup car. I drifted for two years on a stock ka24e.

[fastboy559]

thanks guys
