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

why do i always get the feeling that people on here like to bash the 3s swap. its the best mod i have dont to my car and totally changed the way i look at my car. the motor really feels like it belongs in the 6th gen, and makes you wonder why toyota never offered the 3s in a fwd car. sure there will always be a faster car, but with the boost at 14psi, you really feel like u can give anyone a good run for their money.

[right][snapback]270936[/snapback][/right] You're right lagos... on the street, a 13-14 second car is not gonna get beaten... like ever... especially one with massive mid-range such as the 3SGTE. I shall say again, turbo 4 bangers will own just about everything from a roll. The only disparity between the opinions here, mainly yours and mine, is the standard for a fast car. Believe me lagos... I've contemplated (am still am contemplating), selling the MR2 and the Corolla and go for a 3SGTE swap. I hold very high praise for the 3SGTE. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl...
