Had my first race with the cobalt tonight, I'm stock performance wise besides an intake.

The TSX is my good friends, an 07 2.4 (vtec I'm pretty sure). He's got a Comptec icebox (intake), hondata reflash (chipped), all pulleys are upgraded and 'gaskets' is what he said. Idk what the gaskets do but whatever haha.

It was a 40-110 pull and I had him by almost a car..quality kill?

 

idk why everyons always talking about tsx's
im stage 2 sc and i rolled 60-130 with what looked like a pretty worked TL and i pulled on him atleast a car and a half every time

 

Nice run, I had a chance to buy a TSX a little while ago, but this one had a comptech SC'er + all supporting mods...pretty quick

 

idk my friend has one so why not..? idk anything about Acura tunes though so idk exactly how good it is. I felt like it was a solid run

 

The TSX's are slow but it's a good motor to build from if they are willing to put some money in them. A TSX 2.4 bottom with an RSX-S (Civic Si) head are really sweet together. They take boost really well and are pretty stout, just not powerful from the factory. I had a Comtech Icebox on my Acura. I really loved that intake and how it was designed.

The gasket he's talking about is the intake manifold gasket. I never did one but supposedly they pick up a few ponies by switching the stock metal manifold gasket for a plastic one which transfers less head to the manifold.

 

Hondata sells gasket upgrades that are plastic instead of the metal ones that are set between the intake manifold and the block. This is said to reduce the temp 15 degrees in the intake and boost horsepower. Hmmmm......one gasket does all that crazy honda corp.

 

what does Honda Corp have to do with Hondata?

 

tsx's tuned or not tuned racing makes me LOL. they should stay with being a show car. sexxy when done up.
