an old friend of mine here has a dark Green acura rsx i would guess 2003-2005ish. never asked him the year intake,exhaust, cam "no clue what kind"and a few other things im assuming.


we always see each other going opposite directions and finally a few days ago we just happend to be on the same street going the same way. so at the stoplight he was telling me he is selling it to get a 01 camaro SS. i told him cool. finally your getting up into the Man league. he laughed. anyhow light went green and i figured he wasnt gonna try me. im just slowly rolling off and he at first is also alittle faster than me. at about 40 mph for me he is about 3 cars ahead and i see that smoke shoot out and his exhaust rev up heh. so i knew he was gonna see if i could catch him. by the time i punched it i was at about 48 mph still dead zone bottom of second for me still by 100 mph i passed him and just let off after i put about 4 more cars on him at about 120ish. he waved and we went our seperate ways. i basically hit 3rd gear about right as i was directly parallel with him.

He definately was faster than any rsx's id had run before. he had some good Mid range pull for his car. well anyhow im sure i sealed the deal of him selling it for a ls1 for sure now heh.

 

sounds like a fun lil run. I just bought a 02 Type S rsx and it does run really good. its got a gay exhaust on it and a cheap intake,and i do make fun of Vtec alot, but when it hits 6200rpms it pegs 8200 rite away.

 

Get a decent CAI on it and a Hondata reflash... turns it into a whole different animal

 

The only thing he'll miss about that Acura is the seats.

 

umm ya... I use my rsx to drive to work and commute, not to get owned by ls1's. Nice kill lol.

 

They'd be a nice DD car too. You know, with their little 4cyl motors.

 

isin't the k20 a DOHC motor? I hadn't heard of many people swapping the cams in those. Let me know what cam he put in if you can find out because a good buddy of mine has an Si.

 

Nice kill! Sharp car but it still only has half the cylinders of a LS1...

 

Whole different motor!! RSX has vetech intake and exhaust. SI has Vetech Intake only.. Please don't ask me how I know this!!

 

Alot of my ricer friends want me to turbo the rsx and do all that stuff, but thats why i have the SS and the Z28. I ******* hate fwd. Oh and kinda off topic. but can someone tell me why i cant make a new thread in the LSX parts Posts? is it cause im new or something?.... I got a set of Mint Export taillights for a 93-02 Camaro i am thinkin bout selling

 

It's the second sticky in the section...

... the new Si is (for all intents and purposes) the same motor as the one in the RSX-S. And the 99-00 Si was the B16a2, which was DOHC, and had VTEC on both the intake and exhaust sides... care to explain?

 

It's an '03 Si so it has the K20. I was under the impression that the Si and type S had the identical K20 motor and that the type-R had a K20 with a a2 head as apposed to the a3 head.

 

The '03 Si has the K20a3 just like the base RSX. Decent potential (especially with a headswap), but it was slower in stock form than the 99-00 Si... which is weak

 

ill try to find out what cam he has. but i walked ihm hard and from bottom of second 3 cars back before i hit 101mph basically so i dont think much of those cars unless they have FI

just like the old 92ish accord that used a 100shot on me and i still pulled him. nothing without FI though im sure if the accord had a 20 shot it would have been different.... him with blown engine.. LOL



I also have a race with my computer IT college Teach. ill make a post about it should be interesting.

 

I know he's no competition to us, I was just curious what brand and size cams he swapped in. Just tryin to help a buddy out. Thanks for the help.

 

oh yea im gonna to find out for you. when i see him its basically by chance at walmart and such LOL. i do like the look up them fairly sleek looking. other than the annoying fart can exhaust

 

you do realize the si and rsx dont have the same motor right.......it sure took you a long time to catch up and pass him.........

 

could be lots of different cams toda comes to mind dc sports, mugen theres plenty more but im not in my import knowledge prime anymore.

 

I want a 01 camaro SS
i will trade in my 00 rans am WS6

Nice kill
