5.0 vs CRX Si

[TerminalVelocity]

I'm going to work, and i'm in traffic, suddenly these ungodly bright lights nail my sideview...well I'm going "what the shit?" and look, I see the outline of...RICE!...so i'm all..."too bad I'm not alongside him" Well, next light we end up next to eachother, hes in some 90's CRX SI, blue with a rollcage, as much body mods as you can stuff on, gutted interior and a massive muffler. I stage it up and skitter infront of him so I'm not in a turn only lane, and to my suprise he follows, well, we end up at another light, hes revin up, so I lock my gears up. Green, were both off, hes hanging with me, to my suprise, and then I hear a blowoff as he shifts, just bairly hear it over his fartcan. Well, at 2500rpm on my tach, he shifts to second, at 3500 he shifts to third, at this point hes in my side view, at 5000 I shift, soon after he does too, well, hes in my rearview at this point, and were going 70, with him having no hope in hell of catching up to me....he follows me and keeps going for it at every light, I burn him 6 times in a row, the last he hung better, but for how much louder he was, and longer between shifts, he musta been redlinin it...well not suprising when just before a shift I hear a loud poping nose, a hiss, and he skitters to a quick turn to a side street. Just goes to show...if you cant win, dont bother destroying your car trying. :bandit:

Nice, its good to remind the imports that American muscle is still king.

hmm... have you heard a turbo car with a loud exh? not often... there were 5 turbo cars at the show i was at last nite, and they all have quiet exhausts. the same exh on an n/a car would be loud, however, a turbo car is considerably quieter, as the exh noise is semi cancelled out by the turbo. if he had a turbo, the bov would be quite noticeable.

for example, the audi r8 alms cars are big turbo cars, and are a whisper compared to the corvette or panoz which are both n/a. i know, i was at mid ohio last week.

also ... if it is a crx that is stripped witha cage... it prolly isn't slow... and if it is turbo, you would have to run under 13s to beat it... of course i don't know the guy or anything, but a crx that is turboed should easily push 13s, especially w/o an interior...

but hey, it's your story...

A few WRX's around here and 1 last generation rx7 are pretty loud, and they are all turbo'ed. But in most cases, turbo cars are a lot quieter than n/a cars. Is it necessary for the BOV to be loud?

I am assisting my friend piece together a turbo job for his LS integra. It's a 97, 5 spd, cat back exhaust, short shifter, 17inch wheels(doesnt help acceleration, i know). He plans to run around 6-7psi of boost, on stock internals, with an intercooler. What do you think his 1/4 time will be? It'd be nice to be able to beat a Type R with I/H/E mods.

most aftermarket bov's are... they don't have to be...
people dig the sound...
factory bov's aren't that loud, but you can hear it...

Considering a Type R stock is 195HP, with I/H/E i'm estimating about 205-210 hp.Now, a LS integra runs wut, around 130HP.So with a turbo i'd say you'd get prolly around 180-200HP depending on the size of the turbo and setup.Stock boost on the turbo would be around 6-7 psi so you wouldn't have to worry bout ur boost for the time being.By adding a intercooler you would be able to raise ur boost level safely while not harming your turbo or motor.Now about your 1/4 mile time, i'd say in the ball park of mid-14's, but like i said it really depends on the size of the turbo and setup your friend is using.

And also about the CRX..........................I kno of CRX's that have interior and run 13sec. 1/4 miles with turbo setups.You sir, did not race a turbo'd CRX.You raced a CRX that was stripped of interior,roll cage added,body kit, and loud generic exhaust pipe.People that have the money to turbo their crx's don't bother with those loud cheap cans, they go for the best performance parts they can.Meaning the likes of HKS or Apexi.By buying those cheap loud cans, all they do is restrict air from leaving the car causing ur car not to run as good.Wut u heard was prolly a BOV, but the car wasn't turbo'd.I've seen ricers add BOV's to there cars by placing it right next to the throttle body on the intake piping for a decent release sound.They aren't as loud cuz there is not nearly enough pressure as if he was running a turbo, but the sound can be heard.Don't be bragging about beating a turbo'd import as if it was nothing, specialy if you don't even know if it was really a turbo'd car.

Oh, and if an import is running a turbo, it's not rice.Rice is when u dress ur car up and brag about how fast it is, but can't show shyt for times.When running a turbo on rice, it's no known as rice anymore, unless the driver can't shift or shyt.

Also, have you guys heard a new WRX with a BOV, i mean like a WRX really pushing hard, the BOV is heard over the motor easily.And with RX-7's ninja, the motor is heard more since it is a rotary, but who doesn't like the sound of a powerful rotary motor tearing up the asphalt.

Another Great Rice Kill
Good Job!

You say turbos quiet exhaust sounds. Would that apply the same for a supercharger?

First, read the topic,

5.0 vs CRX Si. I said I heard a blowoff. If I knew it was turbo, I would say I raced a turbo'd Si CRX.

Second, it still is rice. The term came up from the air dam looking like it was made to scoop up rice to burn for fule. Turbo or not, if you body mod it with that exaust etc, its rice.

So dont go tryin to talk shit if you cant even read a damn post right. :bandit:

Devil: No, the superchrager doesn't make the car quieter.

[TerminalVelocity]

superchargers use the force of the engine to turn a pulley which turns a turbine to pull in more air. The Turbos use the exaust to turn a turbine (which is why at certain rpm it adds boost, not all the time, it has to get enough gas to "spool up" and lock the turbine spining forcing air into the intake).

What in TAR-HOOTS are you talking about Boy?

A Rex with an apparent BOV and stripped interior with a Fart Can. Right there thats 5000hp.

Runs 3's down the Quarter Easily. Eats Top Fuel Funny cars for breakfast and disses ProStocks for lunch.

The best way to get power out of a gutless wonder such as a 4 cyclinder is one word, TURBO. Some people think NO2 is good, but if you're running a stock motor and squirt the juice you're asking for a whole heapin of trouble. Turbos are great, i want one for my Dog.. so it can run faster. And for my electric train set, so i can play faster.

Anywho, aint nothing like a Small Block in a Chevy cant take out.

Heck, Y'all remember the Dussenbergs back in the early days? Honda stole their technology. Them Dussies had Straight 8 DOHC Supercharged engines. And it didnt have body mods, nor was it powered by Stickers. It just weighed 8 tons, and were prone to breaking crankshafts but hey WHO ISNT?

Anywho thats my two dollars.

you left out how stickers add 50hp each :hehehe:

what the hell are you talking about!!!!!!!!!!! that's some BS, sayin shit like 50hp for each sticker. I don't appreciate that kind of shit.......Look at my signature for the proper power gains from stickers.........:finger: :finger:
But seriously, i don't like how you're bashing honda's and shit. If a car can run 8 sec 1/4 times, then that's damn fast. Especially if it's a FWD. Knockin on the door to 7's too. I'm not dissing on domestics, because i definately like them too. I just like all cars. Except for ugly ones.

u ever lost to a rice? u always say how ya beat em. One day you gonna come up against one that'll really tear the shit outta you. In my experience, the stuff that looks the best aint always the stuff that goes the best, so never underestimate wot ur up against.
