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

But what i'm saying is that the 5S is a very good motor with great potential, the problem it has is that it's also hard to work with, Hondas are popular for tuners because they are so easy to build and you don't need a very extensive amount of knowledge to build a 300 horsepower B16. They are very simple motors (not as simple as the SR20) and parts companies jumped on it. If the parts were avilable for the 5S or the 3S was in the car GE or GTE Toyota would run the American market, but the government needed are car company to set an example with and chose Toyota. Besides why are we comparing the 3SGTE to the Type S, I took a stock 95 DeVille and busted a Type S they are very over rated. If any motor is to be compared it should be a 3SGE. For one thing it's N/A, two it's got the same potential as the 3SGTE. So that means that you can have N/A motor that is very capable of 800+ HP, put it simply the KA and 3S are both very capable motors and on N/A or Turbo apps they can both be strong. They're is no comparison between them, unless you want to bring the fact that the 3S is old is still the performance choice from Toyota. It's like comparing the RB26 to a 2JZ, both are very capable and great motors.
