3sgte in an ST vs RSX Type - S Stock Options

[MonsterBOX]

im about to do the long ass installation of the 2g 3sgte into my 1997 ST with a boost controller looking to do about 13psi...everyone is dissin my car now and when I get the engine in a few months I wanna run it up against a new Acura RSX Type - S...i think they do 210 at the crank? anyways ive driven it, so far the RSX seems faster than RWD Silvia SR20DET!.....just woundering if anyone knew how a front wheel drive 3sgte at 13psi would match up to a stock RSX type S before i put down alot of money on a bet...ive never driven a 3sgte so this if anyone who has one has done alot of racing please give me some feedback on how this thing matches up to the world of racing

You celica people have your facts completly wrong.

I said a SR'd 240, not the KA, those are slow as a celica

I'll take your @ the track anyday of the week in my SR and I guarantee I'd smoke you. I'm going for 12.5 this year once I get my LSD

with swaps s13's are 2600 lbs, with the boost turned up like I said they run 200rwhp stock with a FMIC. And if your "Friends" 240sx ran HIGH 14's he's doing something wrong.

Yes Subaru's are similar but AWD you lose a buttload of HP due to AWD, and they are heavier.


MY facts are from my 3 years 0f 240sx ownership, and my s13 SP powered sr20det.

Not trying to bash, just open up some of your biased eyes.

You're the one that brought up the KA... If anyone here is biased... it's you. You say "STOCK" yet you also say FMIC and increased boost... what's stock about that? C'mon... now. Go back and re-read what I wrote... I said "a stock SR20DET, regardless of version... will be lucky to break out of 15's with a stock engine"... To add... I'm not doubting the SR20 with boost increase can get into the 13's with the stock turbo, but hardly at stock boost. I also think it's interesting you're gonna be running 12.5 soon. You currently are running mid 13's... and now down 1 full second all because of an LSD... and all this on the stock T25 turbine? These sorts of "guesses" is what riles me up sometimes.

When compared to the Celica, the 3SGTE makes a bit more power per psi because it has slightly higher static compression and a slightly better turbo... so a stock boost JDM 3SGTE (second gen), can potentially put a FF Celica into the mid-low 14's...

You can complain all you want about how biased us Celica folks are... but what the heck do you expect? You're on a celica forum. My reason for even posting in this discussion is to defend the Honda K... and now... you're totally mis-interpreting everything I'm saying in defense of your pride. I never even said anything about my buddie's SR20 240 (aside from it's not that fast)... yet you've managed to "guess" his time. I ask you your opinion about why you think a stock SR20DET can power a 240 into the 13's... yet all you can say is FMIC and increased boost. Do you have any idea what that sounds like?
