he guys, ran a RSX with a cybernation stage 1 turbo kit. he was messing around with my friend with a civic ex so my friend called me a set-up to race and to put him in his place. he said he dynoed 301WHP. he drove from virgina and had cybernation put on the kit for him. he had it on for about a week and wanted to smoke people.

we went to Saga Bay to race and we ran 2 runs from dead stop 1 from a roll. he was running 8psi and i was running 9psi, Whooped his ass, Whooped his ass, Whooped his ass.
i had him by 1-2 cars each race.
Had to represent for the Preludes, what was that guy thinking

he thought he was the shit but i had to put him in his place for my frined in the civic :biggrin:

Nice assasination man.
It was a 160 hp k series turboed or a 200 hp k series turbo. Well those engines turbocharged get some massive power, Ive seen a guy who has a 2003 si turbo an he pulled 270 whp on the dyno pretty impressing.
Well if you owned that guy by 2 cars, damn man your fucking prelude is shit fast. Have you taken it to the track, or do you have a rough estimate of your 1/4 mile. I guess you would be mid 13s? Nice kill man it must been a real fu**ing adrenaline rush. :smokin:

300+hp would throw him into low 13's/high 12's

Pikkagtr, did you dig up the oldest threads you could find for the hell of it or what? Stop digging up stuff posted 3 months ago.

Hey how fast is your Prelude? My friend has a 2001 SH with intake, dual exhaust, header, vtec controller, and some other stuff. He wanted to get a turbo so he could keep up with me but he never could afford one. His car is kinda quick. I was just wondering what the 1'4 and dyno #'s are for a newer style Prelude.

195 hp
160lb-ft
1/4 times range from as low as 15.2 to 15.8

A VTEC controller is pointless unless you have aftermarket cams. Honda tunes VTEC to kick in at the precise point when power begans to drop. Lower or raising that Point is usless and actually makes you lose power....Not to include that it also messes up your engine. I have heard of ppl running a VTEC controller at low RPM's and screwing up there engine in 3 months.....Food for Thought

was that the type S or base model RSX? for the HP numbers im guess n that it's the type S. Cybernation RSX's are pretty quick. One ran a 12.5 sec 1/4 mile time running 12 lbs of boost on slicks. they have one that makes 439 hp at around 20 lbs of boost. RSX loves to be force fed. I taught the type S woulda beat the prelude... maybe the guy in the RSX needs to learn how to drive the car. u said he just got it turbo'd so give em some time to get use to the car. i bet he'll be able to take the lude

:bigthumb: You know what you are talking about and I can't disagree with that. I got a K20 si and it's not even boosted, I still beat a Prelude SH.(Bone stock) Give the RSX some time to get a feel of his car then race again and see what will happen then. Just to let you know can also beat the RSX-S.(Bone stock)

02 Prelude= 200hp, 165lbs of torque and weight 2700lbs
02 RSX-S= 200hp, 158lbs of torque and weight 2500lbs
02 HB Si= 160hp, 138lbs of torque and weight 1700lbs
My K20 Si after mods= 197hp, 153lbs of torque and weight 1700lbs

As you can see, not much different of hp and torque but my car weight about 1000lbs lighter than theirs and that makes a big difference.

1700 lbs?

is there anything even left?

Dude to make that beast 1700lbs you had to have stripped it down to sheet metal. I know a guy with a gutted crx and it weighs 1900...

Not saying it isn't possible, but A friend of mine had his 93 Lude totally stipped inside, down to just the drivers seat, and I don't think it was anywhere near 1700lbs.

HOOOOOOOOOOLLLLDDDDDDDDDDD UP!!!!!! there aint no way u have ur 02 SI down to 1700 lb's. u probably mean 2700 lbs and thats around the stock wieght of the 02 and on SI's. unless ur run n a full tube chasis i dont believe that ur car weighs 1700 lbs. what in the world can u do to ur car to loose over 1000 lb in weight????? go check ur weight again cuz i dont think it's right

:eek2: I know, I didn't believe it either at first. But on the side of my door at the driver side, it clearly said that my car weigh in at "1750lbs." I thought it was a misprinte myself but then I read the Import Tunner (April/May 2003 issue) that a Civic HB Type R in Europe and Japan although has more power than the Si but weigh more. I think the weight was about 2300lbs. It was an unusual Type R. It even have sunroof and ac, which a Type R shouldn't have.

I am SICK and TIRED of you fucking n00bs coming in here with your made-up information and utter BULLSHIT!!!!!!

ONE: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A 2002 PRELUDE! The last production year for the Prelude was 2001.

TWO: The 5th-gen Preludes, Type SH weighed-in at 3042lbs, and the lighter base models at around 2900.

THREE: The RSX-S weighs-in at 2767lbs, with the base RSX at 2693lbs.

FOUR: The stock Preludes had 156ft-lbs of TQ, while the RSX-S has 143.

FIVE: 2002+ Civic Si's are PORKY, at 2744lbs curb-weight.

SIX: THERE IS NO FUCKING WAY A 1700lb 2002+ Civic Si is streetable!

SEVEN: THIS is a 1700lb car:

Unless your interior looks like that pic above, you are a fucking bullshitter, and a BAD one at that. Take pics if this is how your car looks like.

EIGHT: WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU GETTING ALL YOUR BULLSHIT FIGURES FROM?

In conclusion, I think you need to make-up your fantasies a bit better especially around people that know what the fuck they're talking about.

Notice that I never mention anything about your car, because as of now, your credibility in here is SHOT. I wouldn't believe you if you suddenly cop to owning a mere Big Wheel. http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/images/smilies/disappointed.gif

There's no need to get your panies in a bunch, I was just estimating with the TQ and the weight and I wasn't far off either. It's not like I got the book in front of me when I am replying but for the "2002 lude" that was my fault!!! I always thought that they made lude up to 2002 but I guess they only made up to 2001. As far as my Si weighting in at 1700lbs goes, I am still standing by it 100%. When I have a chance, I will find a friend that has a scanner and then will send proof to ya'll at this thread. Until then, you can either take my word for it or consider me a lier who can't get his fact straight.


For my BULSHIT FIGURE, I get them from my memories of seeing them some where before. I apologize for not having a photo-graphic memory. :screwy:

1700lb 2002 Si??? It is very disturbing that you actually believe that your car is that light considering that a 1990 Crx Si isn't even that light. Maybe this link will clear things up for you. If not, there is no hope for you.

to even get MY car to that kind of weight, i'd have to strip it down to bare sheetmetal....
