Prelude vs Integra

Well, today after I got back from my friends house I was just cruising around and I saw this sick yellow Integra SiR sitting at the lights. It looked like it had quite a few mods on it like a tanabe exhaust because i saw the tanabe logo on the tip of the exhaust, intake, blow off valve,(which you could hear), body kit, and lowered suspension and i'm pretty sure 17" rims.
So anyways i pulled up beside him and i hit the gas a bit to let him know i was there, so on green i squeeled away but i looked back and saw him casually drive away so i kinda followed beside him for a bit until we got to this long stretch of open 3 lane road, so then he started reving and on a green light we were both gone, it was neck and neck for a little bit, but then i heard this massive explosion sound and a huge "woosh" of air and he took off like mad. I honestly almost started crying not because i lost the race, but because of how amazing it sounded when it happened and how fast he took off when we were already going about 80 miles an hour.
Whatever he had in his car i wanted it, but i was so far behind after that i couldn't catch up for a while to ask him what he had so i just let him go.
Does anyone know of something that could make your car do this other than an obvious bottle of nos?

lol:smile:

its either a turbo or nos.you said you heard a blow-off valve...turbo

Just to be safe...I'm throwin it up.

:bs:



Please, somebody prove me wrong... :confused:

Yeah wouldn't that be a Type-R ... ?

Oh and I thought Turbo's when they kicked in it wasn't till the max RPM that the B/v released? ... err unless they have a hybrid setup, then it wouldn't be as loud... I'm thinking Nos, though I very well could be wrong.

a turbo kicks in at 3000 rpm and the blow-off valve is connected to the intercooler piping and turbo is what......exhaust its working when the car recieving air which is .....all the time

i remember the sound of the blow valve its impossible to forget thats the thing beauty if made of aahhhhhh i miss my eclipse.

Didnt think Acura used the Honda model name "SiR"

oh yah, your right i am almost certain. But i saw a deckle on the back of the car that said "SiR" so it was probably a type R but for some reason the guy thought it would be cool to put a honda sticker deckle on it.

Unless there actually is an SiR Integra....?....i don't really know too much about tegs:mad:

the blowoffvalve will went presure when the throtle valve is closed and the air has nowere to go....when shifting for example.....

a turbo can spool up at very diferent rpms....depending on the turbo and load......a small turbo will spool up much faster but run out of steam at hight rpm while a big turbo will do the oposite......

also when going uphil or towing something the turbo will spool up due to the load on the engine and the resulting high volume of exaust......



also please stop calling nitrous NOS.....NOS is a brand....you'll get flamed if you keep calling it NOS.......refer to it as N2O or nitrous......

i am positive there is no such thing as an integra SiR. if it was a type R, this guy would not have put a sticker on there like that. the car was probably turbocharged (and was not pushing it until really late in the race). what kind of spoiler did this car have? did the guy have a sunroof? i am not going to ask about the 5-lug or anyother body-mods because they are ones you really have to look for. also, how can the car have an intake and a turbo? hmmm

is the integra a SiR in JDM form? or is it still a Type R in Japan?

:twak:

It was probably just a ricer guys...You guys act like people badging there cars as things they're not is unusual. It's definately not. I see it almost daily.
My question for the thread-starter is what the heck was the explosion sound??:confused: A backfire? Niether a turbo or nitrous makes an "explosion sound". Not on their own anyways. I guess they could both cause the car to backfire if it was tuned improperly, but other than that I'm at a loss as to how they can cause a big bang sound. Turbo's make a whistling/sucking/SPOOLING sound, while nitrous make no sound at all. The engine RPMs will increase at a quicker rate, which is noticeable if you're paying attention, but other than that there is no sound.

I'm not sure at all what could have caused the explosion sound, thats what I was trying to find out by asking if anyone here knew what made a sound like that.
I'm pretty sure it wasn't a backfire either, it didn't sound like a backfire and I think I would know cuz when one of my friends first bought his civic he did something horribly wrong to the engine and it backfired at low rpm's if you floored it.
It sounded crazy though, like it was meant to happen to give the car power or something because as soon as it happened his car took off.:bloated:

also please stop calling nitrous NOS.....NOS is a brand....you'll get flamed if you keep calling it NOS.......refer to it as N2O or nitrous......

AMEN BROTHER

ROFL :iceslolan :iceslolan :cwm27: :spit: :grinyes: :nutkick: :newbie: :nutkick: :iamwithst

This thread cracks me up.

^ Yea I know I'm mean but gawd i just get a kick outta these smileys. Nothing personal, MV2.

I know the guy y'all are talking about! HAha, this is crazy. his name is Chase, and it's a '97 yellow Integra Type-R. When I met him he had that same SiR decal (not DECKLE for whichever one of you idiots spelled it that way) on his car, and I asked him about it. He said he didn't want the TypeR badge b/c at one point someone tried to get to his engine in the middle of the night. They didn't get it, but they messed his car up pretty bad with a crowbar. So he decided it was a bad idea to advertise a B18C5. My only guess is that he wanted something cool to put on the back, so he chose the SiR badge.

I am trying to find his site right now, but not having any luck.

Oh yeah, I know exactly what made that sound, but I will let you "experts" discuss it for a while longer before I let the cat out of the bag.

ROFLMAO!!! omg this is hilarious... he claims someone tried to steal his entire engine with a crowbar... so he put SiR on his car instead.... you gotta be kidding me. And dood just spill!!! cuz I don't want to sift through all the bullshit to see what the hell he's talkin bout

um........ steal an engine.........


yeah, I can see it now, a van pulls out, 2-4 guys jump out with power tools, portable generator, and hoist........ pop the hood, and get it out in less than 10 minutes.........


:twak:

I'm feelin the same thing Sniper... They just whip out their snap together cherry picker from their back pocket to hoist the engine out, crow bar the hood up... shoot, screw it! just crab a chainsaw and saw the whole front end off, strap it to the top of the 1972 VW van and bust outta there. Nobody will hear it. Damned southwestern border jumpers. You know what im talkin bout... no offense to anyone. lol


kapow! :bs:

you know, we had might as well assume that smiley of yours is pulling that flag out of his butt hole, because i see no BS out here YO.

Oooooh yeah: cynoptics.com is a bunch of tards! woowooooo












just kidding, go sign up for free stickers, it's a guaranteed 30 hp!

:gives:


Just tell us what the shit made the 'expolsion' sound. And be done with it.

ninja i don't doubt your story but i do doubt your friend's.....car thieves don't steal engines on the spot...it would take too long and need a lot of tools.....they can steal the car however in no time and then take the engine....that is why his story smells like BS.....


also the explosion could be caused by a antilag system if he does have a turbo...but i severily doubt anyone would be that dumb to do that to their car.....unless you have plenty of money to fix it ll the time...

neutrino, listen up homie:
I took a look at this badboy's car. They freakin shoved a tool between the headlamp and the headlamp housing and tried to pry a hole for something. i am going to assume that these weren't the brightest of thieves, yes, but that they were nonetheless trying to steal his engine. his car was parallel parked, so it would have been more than difficult to steal the whole freakin car.
who knows, maybe it was just a bunch of idiot kids.

Hahaha, just joking. But i still wont tell you, gotta wait til tomorrow!!!

:spit:
Oh yes... I forgot... Parrallel Parking is the untaught art now a days...


Only the brightest of people know how to do that!


C'mon.. give a better excuse.

maybe he installed quick release hinges on his engine incase he needs to take it out and field strip it :icon16:

If you live in Canada there is a SiR.
It's just the newest hb civic you can get, the one with 5 gear manual shifter on dash board.
Except in U.S. its just called the Si I believe.

Anti-Lag?
Is that a Mis-Firing system?

I think I know what caused the explosion sound...
The guy was holding back during the beginning,
then when he thought it was time to pass you.
He stomps on the gas and floors it, *boom!* he takes off.
Maybe he had a big turbo that spools at high-rpms?
Maybe he has FI + N20.

yea i dont see any reason to pop the hood UNLESS they wanted to steal parts from his car, not the complete engine. that would just be idiotic. all you gotta do is get in the damn car....roll it away so you can't hear it start up then ....let me quot..."drive it like ya stole it" they probably wanted to steal the bolt ons on it or something. who knows wat goes on in a criminals mind....also
i dont know wat the "explosion" sound is. im sure we could figure it out if we heard it ourselves. try to download some racing vids and match it to wat you heard. there are PLENTY of vids out there u can compare it to. then u can tell us and we'll try to figure it out. plenty of knowledge on these forums
oh yea and about using NOS....does it really matter? NOS is an acronym for nitrous oxide system, and thats what it is. a nitrous oxide system. anyways watever. TO EACH HIS OWN. thats all i say. PEACE OUUUT!!!

what do you think the turbo sucks air in from, it had to be filtered somehow and not just suck in straight air :bloated:

Well, I know theres a Honda Civic SiR. But, I'm pointing out that there isn't a Acura Integra SiR. The equivalent would be a Type-R.

As MV2 said.. the guy put on a SiR badge onto the Integra.

Yes

:bloated: 95civicman, you dont say? i never knew that a turbo had an intake system. (i am sofa king we tall did)

HEY! Kung Fu Accord or whatever your name is, are you EVER gonna tell us about your amazing and oh-so confidential information??? Or are you getting off on having this thread waiting with their breath held for you to speak? Get on with it. This isn't some game show where you build suspense before you give the answer! JUST TELL US REGIS!!!

Sorry to be so pissy fellas. It's been a long day already and its only 11:45 am. I'm not a patient guy.:comprage1

Maybe when he floored it he bottomed out? :biggrin2: the boom was his rear end hitting the ground :icon16:

dammit, sorry kung foo ninja accord boy... 3 pages of people guessing at what this mystical "explosion" from an SiR Integra whos engine almost got stole with a crow bar and a headlight is getting on my nerves. 'sides, it's tommorow already:

ZEX


You said not to tell YET but you also said you'd say tommorow, which it is ;)... 'Sides redneck383 sounds like he's ready to kill someone bout it. There ya go guys... go figure. An explosion at 80mph... hmm...

EUREKA!!!!

I know the secret behind the Big Boom Mystery! The driver of the ITR/ SiR was trying to race, buy had terrible gas at the time. He couldn't fully depress the accelerator because he was slightly raising his right leg to let some out before his colon exploded. The pressure had built up so much due to the adrenaline rush of the race, that when he released the fart, it sounded like an EXPLOSION!:newburn:

Once the gasses were released, he was able to plant his right foot and mash the gas! (pedal that is) Off he goes and the myster is solved.

I should be a friggin Private Investigator:sunglasse

lol dood I just told j00 it was Zex nitrous oxide. private investigator my ass! what the hell am i paying you for?! ya 'tarded deuchbucket! get back in your cage RIGHT NOW

You got your version of the truth. I got mine. Eye of the beholder my son. Eye of the beholder.

How wouod a ZEX N20 system cause that noise? I just think it's all BS myself.

What exactly is Zex N2O, and moreso what's the difference? I've seen the purple bottles... but how's that different from any other? Or is it?


:newbie:

ZEX isn't much different. It's easier to install than NX and NOS. But if you've ever been in a car with nitrous or had one you know the noise it makes when you punch it. I mean it's definately no EXPLOSION.... but ya know we do got a newb on our hands. No offense stupid little newbster... w\e yer name was. :bigthumb:

You got your version of the truth. I got mine. Eye of the beholder my son. Eye of the beholder.

^ lmao... okokok... Here's the 88 cents in a shoebox I owe you for all your hard research. Ante up boys, we got a PI to pay here

I'm not ready for some killin... Just hate it when somebody try's to act all 'My shit doesnt stink' and wont just tell us the friggin answer.

Is it so hard to say what it is?

You are now a jedi knight. :bigthumb:

there's a few generation civics a crx and a prelude. (although there is a R si Integra 90-93 2nd gen) But no Integra SiR, sounds ricey to me. (Good call RN)

so am i a patawan or wha or am i jedi too? redneck my shit doesnt stink really or well idk cant smell much with the nose plugs.:bloated:

Nah Youngster, you're fine by my standards. Just that guy who wont explain what the heck that 'explosion' deal is.

But now that i'm a Jedi... I could careless.. Gonna go abuse my mind powers on the helpless masses of cute women... ahhh summer time! woooot! :icesangel

i concur...we were promised and explanation.....i don't see anything yet???:mad:

yeah short shorts and mini skirts gotta love the summer.

Wow. I go out of town for a day and you people are going crazy! Let me let you in on a little secret: life exists outside the confines of your cubicle! It’s SATURDAY! Get away from the computer!

On the other hand, I DO want to apologize for telling you folks that I would enlighten you today only to disappear. I went jeep shopping, and have found a CJ-7 with a .6 bored out 350 that does freakin wheelies! Anyway, to make a long story short, Canadian boy has a 75 shot Zex system in his car. What whoever it was heard was just the nitrous igniting, he didn't hear an explosion.

It’s been a long day, so if you want to flame me, I wont be back to re-gather the embers until Monday probably. Have a good weekend folks, and try to breathe some fresh air while you're at it.

uh...you do know that nitrous doesn't actually ignite.....it just provides a mixture richer in oxigen than air.....

so what does it do, just sit there and build up, if you are talkin about the compound n20 and saying it dosen't ignite then your right to post has just been takin away.

Compressed N20 is below freezing. Being so cold, it feeds in to the motor real dense...kinda how CAI helps because cold air is denser than warm air (lack of heat makes elements less volatile and more compressed). As it feeds into your cylinders, it also feeds the massive amount of oxygen that is a part of its chemical composition. This oxygen is then combined with more fuel than normal, thus alowing for more power than normal-aspiration would give. It is the fuel that ignites. Kind of like turbo in a bottle.

Again, nitrous oxide does NOT ignite.

Edit: For those of you that might bring up the obvious question: "why not just feed in compressed oxygen, period?"

Nitrous is a part of the natural atmosphere, it stabilizes oxygen. Oxygen, in a pure state, makes natural combustion happen so fast, it becomes an explosion.

If you feed pure oxygen into your car, all you'll have is a pretty fireworks show with your engine at the center of the beautiful sparks.

ok well i did not no that and i will never talk again i thought that the oxygen in the n20 compound would ignite since pure oxygen would ignite, thanks for the info oh genious one.

thank you for adding carnut the other positive efect of nitrous....the cooling effect due to the endotermic efect of an expanding gas....forgot to put that is my post....


also the ideea or injecting pure oxigen is not new but as carnut explained such a concetration of O2 would cause a very vilent explosion(also known as knock) as oposed to the smooth ang gradual explosions that ore optimum to push the piston....

Dude don't be an asshole. :cya:

Nobody cares about a few spelling errors. It's the guys who talk in butchered slang that gets annoying. A misplaced letter or slight misspelling is nothing.
