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.

so you have 200rwhp, something like that?

if you lived close i would race you any day, from a stop, from a slow roll, from a fast roll. i would even put money on it, why? 1.because i know pretty much exactly what your car has, you dont have LSD, so from a stop, i would slaughter you, and even if you did, i would turn on launch control and launch making 7psi at a dead stop, again, slaughter. from a roll, i have more power at the wheels than you do, with only a little more weight, but thats OK, i can still raise my boost more where as with stock fuel/turbo/ECU you cant take a s13 SR past 14psi i believe 2. i made my AUTOMATIC 1997 ST celica faster than a stock WRX. i have full confidence in my modding and tunning abilities.

by your terms of stock you could say my car is stock being that i still use the stock turbo. and RWD isnt leaps and bounds more efficient than AWD but my car does weigh more(although i doubt your car weighs 2600lbs), so our car should be pretty even from a roll, in your eyes. never the less, i am quite positive that what ever type of straight line acceleration you can try, my car is faster. let me get a hold of my friend with the s14, he has pretty much the same mods as you. i will race him from a roll, and get it on video. yea, an s14 weighs more, so lets say your car would be 1 car length ahead of his

a FMIC is a MAJOR modification
raising the boost to past 10psi on an SR is major considering 6psi is stock.

and do you have any proof of what your car can do? i guess your car has full turbo back exhaust, FMIC, oh lets say 12psi, intake and probably some nice tires and wheels. i dont doubt thats enough to get into the 13's, that, is beyond stock.

my friends 240 was stock, in every sense when it comes to a car that has had an engine swap. stock down pipe, stock 240sx exhaust, stock side mount, STOCK BOOST. Hell, he even still had the stock 240sx cat.

and i agree with kwanza, simply adding an LSD to your car wont bring you into the mid 12's from the mid 13's
