GS-T v. RSX type-S

[MR2Driver]

Turbo RSX-S's arent to be taken lightly though.

Also 15psi for a stock turbo car isnt all THAT much. Im running 15psi all day on my MR2 turbo, all I have is an intake.

oooh no I dont run it on 15 always. It was friday and I was coming back from some guys house, and I had turned up the boost a little cause he wanted to feel what 15psi on a T-25 was (he owns a WRX). Daily driving I'll put it down to 12, sometimes 10 if I'm goin on a long trip or something. Sounded like the guy had a catback and intake and such. And no, I'm not a BAD driver, I just got my car a month ago anyways. I'm lining up with a good friends new RSX Type-S(stock) today or tomorrow, so I'll update you guys on how that goes...

cool make sure it's from a dig....after all that's all that really matters anyway.

[=OrangeZ=]

the stock psi on a gts is 8 or 9 i think and to pump it up to 15psi on a stock car is asking for serious trouble in the long run, also you wouldnt wanna turbo a rsx type S in stock forum because the compression is like 11:1 and wouldnt be able hold a decent amount of dependable boost out of a turbo set up that way but if someone takes the time to do it right i would imagine it would be something to watch out for, where i live stock gts run around a 15 flat though my friend uped his to 13psi and got a 14.2 compaired to his 14.9 in stock forum, all of the rsx type s 's around here seem to run high 14's i have seen one dip to 14.4 with full header back exhaust setup and CAI though

i dunno just supplying info

hmmm, well, i was getting 11-12psi stock on my GS-T(not gts, thats celica). Most ppl seem to get anywhere around 10-12psi on stock settings, not even close to 8-9. Turning it up to 15 wont do anything to the engine, its a little T-25 in there, so if anything the turbo will go out on you. I'm planning on putting in a 14B within the next 6-8 months or so, but first, supporting mods. T-25's can handle anything up to 16psi, but anywhere past 15 is pushing it in my opinion.

I wonder how that compares with other turbo cars. The VR4 is supposed to take 14.5psi stock, not hurting the engine. I think his could take 15 rather easily without hurting anything.

It's not that much boost if you live in the city of Bullshit on the corner of Trolling ave. , and Fast and the Furious blvd.

15 psi aint that high for a DSM, if you have the correct mods for it, thats a daily driven car.

oh yea, my cuzin has a 215hp (at the wheel) RSX, and they pull really quick after 3rd gear...i think one time we were alreay going 60 mph around 2nd gear, so the RSX Type-S are very fast on the long run unless that RSX gots turbo, than its gonna fly...

you people....uhh...

Ok they are high 14 second cars stock with good drivers. I/H/E and hondata they have been known to mid-high 13's with good drivers.

yes vtec cars have very good pull in 3rd gear.

I know how you feel. I said the exact same thing a month or two ago when someone was talking about a race. Some people just don't understand.

for some reason i feel like people make the rsx-s seem like a very fast car.

Pretty easily

Oh, and PWRDbyUNCLEbens , 15psi on a DSM will not do anything to the motor, the turbo is the only one that might be affected, and on a T-25 15 near the higher range of what it can put out, but not near the limits of what it can do. And as I said before, I dont drive daily on 15, usually 12 or so daily. Also Considering within the next 6-8 months I'm gonna drop in a new one in. Agreed tho, I have seen turboed Type-S's, and they are amazing things to behold (saw one that beat an Evo in person), but have to have a decent amount of money put into them...
On a different note, I just did race my buddies white RSX Type-S today, but I hardly can even call that a win, but I suppose it was me by like 1/2 a car length, given that I had a rough launch. Anyhow, I still love Type-S's cause they are dead sexy, and the drive and quality is just awsome from Acura. Love the vtech....
peace...

sure almost any car can be made fast.
