Yep... which is why I specified for the 2.0 S2000 . And yes, a Hondata tune and a cold air intake is a must for the RSX-S, because they respond VERY well. Intake/tune is *capable* of 13s with an otherwise-stock car.

Thats funny, because one of my friends was reading an import tuner mag the other day, and they were doing bolt on dyno tests with the 07+ Civic Si. I believe they did intake, header, exhaust. When all was said and done, the car still had under 200WHP. I'll see if I can find the article online.

Can't explain that... I saw with my own two eyes an '02 RSX-S put down 207whp with intake/header/exhaust and a Hondata tune. And one with the same mods + Nology Hot Wires put down 211whp. The 207whp car ran 13.7 @ 103mph.

just for reference my close friend 03 rsx type s. T3/t4 turbo kit 9lbs since 15k miles now has 60k miles 5 years later. STILL STOCK MOTOR. Its crazy. He is doing a build now but Im impressed the motor took a good beating making around 320whp its whole life. catless 3 inch exhaust.

See, that's more realistic... if he was running 15psi he'd be making some SERIOUS power, but couldn't do it on stock internals. So like I said in the first place, the guy was probably running quite a bit less than 15psi. Considering the results of this race, probably more like 5-6psi.

It doesnt matter if he was running 5psi or 25psi he would of got owned either way from a dig.... FWD=FAIL!

And this is relavent to anything how???? Who gives a **** about turbo RSX motors when youre comparing what a far inferior car can be made close to as fast as a stock LS1.

Please.

CraZee ZO6

sure its inferior but its amuses me what other setups make and how.
im sure my boys turbo rsx would whoop you too.. i find that amusing.

Super28Sport

Hmm at least 5K just to get to 400. High five.

Yea. That ****** sucks. Not to mention how wack they are in the first place.

Super28Sport

What exactly amuses you? What kind of "power" stock block turbo 4cylinders can make? Explain...

Irunelevens

Wtf do you mean how is it relevant? If that guy is making 320whp on 9psi, what do you think one would make ACTUALLY running 15psi? We're talking 400whp+. Like, WAY more than 400whp. So it's relevant because it backs up what I said in the first place.

And for the record, a 400rwhp S2000 would be a FAST little biotch. ~400lbs less than an F-body, and 4.40 gears... and if you replace the softtop with a hardtop, that's another 150lbs gone. But I digress.

Since when did 03 Cobra's get labeled as "slow"?

WHO CARES WHAT YOU SAID IN THE FIRST PLACE. Do you not understand that no one cares to be "informed"? How many ******* times do people have to tell you to STFU before you finally get it? GO POUND SAND WITH YOUR FACE! Jesus christ dude, I'm sick of listening to your bullshit excuses, generalizations and all around annoying babble.

THE ******* RSX LOST, PERIOD. IT WASN'T FAST ENOUGH IN THIS RACE RUNNING 1,2,5,15,100 PSI, PERIOD! NO ONE CARES.

ONEBADASSWS6

Thank you sir. Thank you. Finally someone besides myself has the ***** to say it.

ONEBADASSWS6

You need a reality check. First off, no RSX is going to make 400+WHP on 15PSI. I find it extremely hard to believe its making 320WHP at 9PSI, sounds like you're numbers are highly inflated.

Second of all a 400WHP S2000 would not be going ANYWHERE. Literally. The transmission, driveshaft, and your precious 4.40 gears and axles would be all over the road in pieces. Honda drivetrains are weak, it was never designed to hold more than 240HP, and they often have trouble holding even that much.

You can always block me if you want... some people on this site actually LIKE to learn about different cars other than the ones they own. If you're not one of them, so be it. You can stay in your little "my car is the fastest and best car in the world" little fog if you'd like.

Irunelevens

Would you care to back up those statements? First off, the 320whp @ 9psi aren't my numbers. They were presented by another member here. They are typical of what I've seen, but they still aren't "my numbers." Second, a 400rwhp S2000 would last as long as the owner wanted it to. Since the power comes on so high in the rpm band, it's not like there would be a 400rwhp shock from a roll. Now if you're at the track with drag radials it might be an issue, but the same could be said (and often is) about F-bodies. And like I said, mine's been going strong for 72k miles.

Ok enough whining - you wanna know how much horsepower it will make... here's a general formula that usually hits it pretty good... its, of course, going to be plus or minus a few hp (depending on setup/efficiency/etc), but who cares...
HP = HP + HP(psi/14.7) = HP (1 + (psi/14.7))

so, a rsx-r makes what? 200hp stock? 200(1+(15/14.7)) = 404 ... 404*.85 (assuming avg drivetrain loss) = 343whp....

since when is 343whp

Irunelevens

That's a "general" rule, but I've seen 170hp B18C1s make 300whp on 9psi... it all depends. A bolt-on/tuned RSX-S is ~210hp at the WHEELS, and I don't know any turbo RSXs that don't have atleast full bolt-ons. And a tune is more than necessary. The "WAY more than 400whp" might have been a bit of an exaggeration, but it's still gonna be a very stout car.
