Default Turbo SR20 240 Vs exhaust only LS1? Who would win?

This dude here has a turbo 240 SX SR20 with 15lbs of boost. Hes all cocky and thinks he has the fastest car ever(Always talking **** about my car and my friends H/C/I SS)...He wants to run but only for $$. He didnt want to run me for fun so i might be setting up the race this weekend. What do you guys think the outcome of the race will be? My car is a stock
LS1 with Lid,LT's,ORY and catback and a hypercrap tune...im guessing im in the 325 ish to 330 RWHP range and the car is an auto with 3.23's, no performance stall and 16" snowflakes with regular 225/55r16 goodyears.

I have good confidence in my car i figure he is probly going to spin of the line alot and my car grabs ok if i feather the throttle so of the take off i should take him, the only roll i will give him is a 10 mph because anything higher sucks. I figure i will end the 1/4 before he can catch me and his start will be slow because of turbo lag.

If i race him i plan on makin a thread on the kill, story section since i do owe them one because of the B16 honda that never showed up to race...i guess he didnt want me to "Fill up" his car with gas like he said i was going to.

Boosted sr's are no joke... If you had a stall and tires you would romp him, as to this race I'm not too sure... He might have the edge on you...

There is a bench racing forum....fwiw...

Yea dont get me wrong it looks quick but also its not a professionally built car it looks like it was all slapped together quickly...ill put it this way, he ran a 2006 Mustang GT that has exhaust and a tuner(not sure which one) and he barly beat the mustang by a fender, i raced that same mustang bone stock with no exhaust or anything and i stomped on the mustang by about 3-4 cars, now with the few mods ive done i destroyed the msuatng even worse...the thing is he was at 7 or 8 psi when he ran that mustang, now he is at 15 i believe.

there is no such thing as an SR20 that runs correctly. Even with a good turbo and a good tune (hypothetically) you'd be lucky to get 300hp out of one, which is impressive for 2 liters, but hardly LS1 territory.

I'm not sure about the stock short block but I know that 240sxs are very light!

You would bend him over. My buddy used to have a 92 240 with a SR20, full bolt ons and tuned running 15psi.

I used to crack his *** with my catback/intake/stalled Z28 NO PROBLEM.

that goes for KA-T's not SR's..alot of people here have ~350rwhp sr20 240s..either in a hatch, coupe, or s14

and as for being lucky to get 300hp out of one..full bolt ons, t28 (silvia s15 sr20 turbo) injecters, tune. can get about 350 out of them..do cams, rebuild the head, intake mani, and T4 turbo and your in the high 400hp area..go forged internals, fully built head and something like a gt35r turbo and your well into the 500hp..and if you can save the vvti head they can rev to almost 10k rpm

My buddy had a SR20 with a stock turbo and ran a hidden 75 shot, it also ran 275 M/T's. That lil ****** was QUICK, easily ran down a few H/C LS1's. Not sayin the LS1's were fast but he managed to get the win in a heads up race.

I'd be careful for sure, maybe toss on a 100 shot for insurance.

I've got 2 friends with SR20s. both with intake/exhaust/tune and aftermarket turbos running around 10-15 pounds. I've beat both of them on 40 pulls and one of them at the local 1/8th track. But it was really close.

One of the reasons im feeling confident is because i ran a 92-93 hatchback civic LS VTEC garret turbo fully built running 18 PSI pushing 378 WHP...I had him by a car until a little short of the quarter i was at 110 and he passed me like i was standing still lol i dont see this 240 being that fast

stock turbo, prob only makes 260 and thats turned up with a aggressive tune.. My friend has a built motor with a gt35r turbo set up and it only makes 460rwhp on pump. I know he is getting a new set up for e85 and a bigger turbo, but without alot of mods, those cars are turds.

you will beat it those 240s arent that fast well the ones i have ran but then again im not stock.......theres a local here with an rb25 in his 240 but wont run me for some $$ what a lil girl he sounds just like the guy your going to race, there only fast at running there mouth thats all.... dont let 15psi scare you a stock sr's stock turbo is only good for 10 pounds max!!! even anything over 10 is pushing it and pretty much blowing hot air and loose power instead of gaining....

Might run him tomorrow night...will record the race if i do...i really think i am going to beat him, then drive to the gas station and fill up my car, go home and sleep good. You can tell he is worried because he was asking my friend with the 01 SS if my car was fast and if my car could beat the SS...my friend said no but little does the 240 guy know is that i pull on the SS H/C/I pretty good from the take off.....this will be intersting.
