srt 4 vs 2006 civic si turbo?

[scarface1981]

hey guys i got a srt 4 yeah its alright but i seen the new civic si and im thinkng about trading for the civic only problm is its only 200 hp im pretty shure its gonna be better than th srt 4 and with a turbo it will deffinetly have more power!!! WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?

[pinkslipRT]

haha ur a trader and even with a turbo kit on that pos the money u spend on the kit u will still not touch the srt4, so bad idea................also honda has no tourqe so u will never beat a srt4 in a si.........sorry for being the bearer of bad news
and its a claimed 200hp to the crank stock srt4 has 230 to the wheels u will not win if u want some backing go to a honda site.

as stated above, for the money, you cant really compare. hondas are good cars, and the new si will be a pretty cool car, it will weigh about the same as the sartie, and will in no way be faster. even with a turbo kit, your power will be very limited until you build the motor up. at that point, you will still be a half liter smaller than the sartie. the civic is making that kind of power because of its relatively high compression ration, but this means that boosting it wont be a really good idea. stick with what you have, its easy and relatively cheap to get good power out of your srt. trust me on that one

i would stick with the srt4 u can get a stage 2 mopar turbo for 280 hp. the new civic si s are quick claimed 0-60 in 6.8 sec or something like that but its high compression and all high end power, no torque. with a turbo kit you might bareley edge out an srt but the engine wont last long on boost. and the price of an si plus a turbo kit will be more than a srt. and the srt has a better built motor.

[TEXSRT4]

0-60 in 6.8! haha, dont even bother. my kid brother can RUN that fast!

[blakscorpion21]

6.8 is pretty quick its only a little over a second slower than an srt. so if ur little brother runs that fast u must run as fast as an srt. lol

The new Honda is a cool car, it does appear that Honda has already tuned this engine almost to the max. I think you would have to spend a buttload of money to make it much faster. The CR is too high to put much boost to it, so you would have to start with lowering the CR so you could apply a liberal amount of boost. Because of the VTEC aspects of the engine, you may run into a lot of snags applying a Turbo.

ok guys if i am buying a new car and have a choice between honda si 2006 and dodge srt 4 2003 which 1 should i go for
thanks

[TEXSRT4]

unless you rebuild the civic motor, your never going to make more power out of it than you can out of the srt4. plain and simple

[aulakh3333]

but the civic si has a warranty on it and its new ,,,the srt 4 03 also from a preowned stock of a honda dealor i have to buy as it is...i dont know much about fast cars but the torque of 140 on si and 214 on srt makes a difference?

[RX-7 Steve]

Why are you choosing between a Neon and a Civic? Nothing against either car, but since you're obviously concerned with speed why not get a sportscar?

[aulakh3333]

my budget is maximum 20K sports car cost way more

[RX-7 Steve]

You can find faster cars for $20K.

[TEXSRT4]

torque on the srt is more than 214. its underated from teh factory. closer to 230.

This is funny... sorry but neon>civic. I cant even believe you are putting the two on the same playing feild. Everytime people say they are going to "turbo their non turbo-d cars" it never happens. Stay with the srt, if you can find one, make more power with it with simple bolt ons.
