Bro just got an RSX Type-S

AHH!!! im so excited, he just got it today, i talked to him on the phone. He told me he thinks hes going to eat my GST alive! What are my chances on stock RSX Type-S. I've done little mods, Tsudo 3" exhaust, HKS SSQV, Aftermarket Intake, BCS mod @ 15psi! Scared and excited at the same time . He'll make fun of me!

Let us know how many car lengths he beats you by.

I haven't had a stock type-s beat me yet. And I have less mods than him. I think this one will be up to the driver.

Good luck, i think you can get him. :bigthumb:

it'll be a good race i think but you should be able to take him. the type-s's are fast but the gst's should be quicker.

I drove my cousin's type s and it is one hell of a car. All he talked about was v-tec though, haha, like I give a shit.. I think it should be a fun match, hope you kick ass :)

haha, i've driven a modified Type-S, but not a stock one yet. Just tell us how close the race is, just dont underestimate those Type-S's, some of them can be very scary, but you got this one IF you dont miss a gear.

Fuck, I'm intrested to see what this new 2006 Honda civic SI this December!!. Same engine as the RSX-S, 6 speed manual tranny, LSD, 197hp. I might me buying one. I need to get somthing soon, my 02 elantra has 53K on it.

as long as you don't sell your dsm for that civic.....you would be shunned by all.

The days of us N/T guys killing civic's is about to end.....I fear the end of the world is near....

It'd be close but my money's on you. With your mods I'm guessing low to mid 14's.

thanks for the support but he haven't tried to run yet :). I think he said wait till he get some mods... maybe then, he'd kill me! ill post a vid if we were to race :).

I ran a stock one right after they came out....It had a dealer tag on it, so I guess someone ran out to fill it up with gas.

Anyway, the Spyder had an intake and a MBC set at 15psi. He took me by about 1/2 a car by 70mph. But remember, my Spyder is heavier than your car.

From the very little I know about Honda (I just don't care about them :D)
the power of a VTEC doesn't come on till about 98 million RPM vs the 4G63's 6000RPM. So if you don't go deaf and blind from hearing his motor rev that high, you should win without a doubt.

1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T Manual
Horsepower 210 @ 6000 RPM
Torque 214 @ 3000 RPM
Curb Weight 2899 lbs.

Now add up the stuff you have done to it + + + + = even faster

2006 Acura RSX TYPE S Manual
Horsepower 201 @ 7800 RPM
Torque 140 @ 7000 RPM
Curb Weight 2840 lbs.

YOU WILL WIN!!!!!!!!!! :p

P.S.--I'm drunk again

Hmm, the curb weight on the GS-T seems a little low. Should be around 3,100 right? And the turbo spools at 2,500 rpm not 6,000. After all, it redlines at 7,000 lol.

Yeah, good ol' KBB seems to be off on their numbers. I have found a mistake in their data more than once. Hell, I drive mine every weekend and I know it doesn't have to be revved that high to get the power. Regardless of that, if this guy drives his GS-T right, he will win.

RPM when the turbo spools /= RPM @ max HP

RPM when the turbo spools /= RPM @ max HP
lol whoops.

RPM when the turbo spools /= RPM @ max HP
I was going to say something about that, too. If you take a n/a engine, which needs no spool time and apply the 2,500 rule...then the engine would make peak HP at every rpm. That was be insanely cool...but it doesn't happen. But the Eclipse will reach peak HP before a VTEC engine because for some reason VTECs make peak HP on average of like 6800RPM or somewhere around that.

If he gets a VTEC controller then it might be a different story... Alot of my friends set their VTEC to kick in at 4-5k.

If hes stock and you can drive you will beat him. Also imo, get a 1g bov before you race him

i got hks bov :D. i think i can beat him but i kno i wont be able to walk him. His car is pretty crazy on vtec, driven it!

my car ,which is an auto, took my freinds stock rsx-s 6-speed just fine and i was still on the t-25
