Spoken like a true ignorant person... RSX-S runs high 14's low 15's STOCK... and they make crazy power with stupid bolt-ons... which means the motor is very very de-tuned from the factory. RSX-S's have been dynoed to gain 20 whp from something as simple as a Cold Air Intake... -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"

Kwanza26 i dont think that its possible for a car to get 20whp just from a Cold Air Intake,no WAY...
 About the race....my spirit is with you Romas:) I raced once RSX Type r with my GT-4,just for fun and until the next traffic lights i was 4 cars in front of him:)... |

There's no need to be mean. He was just kind of asking if they ran around high 15s or low 16s.

yeah.. aem CAI adds 15whp.. hondata upgrade/exhaust/header and you're looking at some nice gains. it actually does respond well to bolt ons. |

I'll apologize for that. I get kinda grumpy when people just go off on something because it wears an "H" badge... at least in a way. Anyways... yeah... for those who care and wanna know... we at Thao's Smog Automotive have a K20A2 (RSX-S motor) powered 03 Civic SI that will easily lay down a low 14 second pass on street radials. Story: We did a Jackson Racing Supercharger Install on an 04 Civic SI yesterday (saturday 14th) and even at 6 psi of boost, the car we did the install on was pulled 4 cars by my cousin's 03 K20A2 Civic SI (with CAI, Header, exhaust, and Hondata). I have pics of the install... and it's proof that even a bigger torque band will need many other things to win in a race... and that horsepower definately plays a role in drag racing... I will agree, that a well driven and built LS1 camaro will beat an RSX-S just with shear overwhelming power and torque... but that's not saying there's no way an RSX-S can beat a Camaro. Have you even seen a fully built LSVTEC Civic hatch with stage 2 Toda valvetrain run down a built 13 second Supercharged 5.0 Mustang? I have... and seeing is worth more than imagining...

AEM V2 intake for the RSX type S adds 18.5 whp at the peak and through out the powerband it has great gains. its not a bad car, but my ST-T was faster, faster than the type S, and faster than my WRX from a roll.

i havent, but i saw a stripped hatch with drag slicks and a jdm H22 running open exhaust at LACR, which is a crappy track, and at high elevation it ran 13's all night not sure if anything was done inside the engine, but it hauled -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition

well, you have an upgraded fuel pump, so you could definately raise the boost to help but you are probably running very rich right now what kind of gauges do you have? do you have an AFR gauge to get a ballpark idea of where you are AFR wise? if you do, raise the boost to 10psi for the race, and put 1 or 2 petco check valves on the vacuum line that goes to the FMU, using a AFR gauge, just make sure you dont see any red by testing it before the race that way you can have a suprise for him did he already have intake and exhaust? after that, mods for taht car start to get $$$, he could have gotten a header, or a reflashed ECU either way, it is possible that he could have gotten a worth while mod. and thats exactly why you should kick it up a notch how much money does he want to bet? oh wait a minute i just noticed that you have 2.25inch exhaust REMOVE IT, if you have a cat still, unbolt that too, and just run midpipe nothin hit harder on my ST-T than when i drove around with open DP This post has been edited by 97sccelica: Aug 16, 2004 - 11:58 AM -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition

 I wasn't going off on it. I drove a 90 prelude for awhile, and my friends got a integra gsr (w/ vtec is it gsx or something?), and a kid i know has a 94 prelude Si w/ catback, cai, and maybe a few more small mod's, and he beats this kid w/ a brand new eclispe gts all the time... i have much respect for honda/integra's (sometimes not for fart canned civic's), and i seriously didn't know what a RSX-S runs, i was guessing that they would run around a high 15, which isn't bad, im sorry if im ignorant i've just never really looked at a RSX so i dont know there stat's or times.

since i have a 97 celica, it had obd2, no way to change the timing, but the ECU controls it based on sensor inputs so it things get hot, or if too much knock is detected, then it retards timing. you have a 94, so you can retard the timing, and i suggest retarding it like 5 degrees This post has been edited by 97sccelica: Aug 16, 2004 - 11:32 PM -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition

check for shaft play, if there is shaft play in the turbo, thats where the smoking is comming from. does your boost gauge read vacuum? a healthy internals 7afe should read 20 inches HG at idle, if its less than 20, something with the rings or valvetrain is leaking somewhere -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition
