Im running my friends rsx-s tonight. Ive race him before when he had I/H/E Downpipe cams, hondata, hp tune, coilovers and carbonfiber hood and he wasnt happy when i fendered him in my stock ss/sc. He claims that his car is not at his potential because he needs bigger injectors. He bought them and he is getting them on today and getting it tuned again. He thinks that it is going to give him crazy power but i think he ll only get like 10whp more. Any thoughts?

 

my thought would be he paid to much for a civic si...

It all depends on how good the tuner is and how much he can queeze out

 

you need to get stage II and rape him

 

thats would work too, or just get some 60's and a 2.8 and some cooling mods and rape him even more

 

agreed!!!! stock SS/SC against that...he might just pull on you...a tad, but not nearly enough to be worth the money he put in on that little rubberband car

 

moved to the war stories section.

 

lol hp tune

 

wat year is the rsx cuz with those mods he should at last be in the 215-220whp range?

 

2004 from what i understand the models after this are faster

 

you will rape him

 

wow rsx type s are that slow...i use to want one back in the day..but i hear their beasts when their turbo though

 

yeah 05-06 are bit faster but idk he should pull on you with those mods

 

IDK, all the youtube videos of SS/SC's vs RSX-S's have the RSX on top or pretty close.

 

i think the reason is because our cars with stock pirellis have NO grip....

 

I've raced my friends type s with injen CAI and me bone stock from a 40 roll and 60 roll and pulled a couple cars on him. They are pretty quick with those mods the OPs friend has, but unless they are FI they aren't that impressive.

 

i raced an 04 civic with k20 swap (rsx s motor) and i pulled about 2 and a half cars on it... with a really crappy launch

 

my friend has a rsx-s i/h/e w/cf hood he only could best a 14.5
i ran 14.22 with intake /exht it will be close, do it from a 40 roll cuz he has no tq so from a dig he will hook better

 

Yeah me too. I thought he had a shitty tune or something but the other night he raced one with the exact same mods and it was even, i also said he has hondata but i just figured out it is kpro I dont know if that makes any difference

 

hondata makes kpro... kpro is the k-series engine tuning software... he may have just had the hondata #4 tune, which is just a canned reflash that you can't modify unless you have the k-pro software

 

damn he has kpro and still cant beat you thats sad but then again he may have really shitty parts so who knows

 

Alright so he got his car back and we were going to race yesterday but it started pouring rain. So today i got my stage 2 on. i raced him tonight thinking that i was going too blow him away and i only put about 2 cars on him from 45 and he put a car on me from 60. So i believe that it was bigmike1732 that said it, but he prob is in the 215-220 whp range. That tune worked wonders

 

uhhhh.... isnt hp tuners only for gm cars? or am i wrong??

 

Hmm...

My boy's dad has the one on boost in the vid. His son's car is stock motor, low 400's on about 14psi.
That vid was just going to the store, thats why there are no high speed runs, we only went about 6 blocks from the house.

unfortunately, traction is still a bitch.

 

Power w/o traction...FAIL
