For anybody wanting to run a type s, don't underestimate them... I ran 1 in my 83 Z28 and got blown out, this rsx was not stock tho, it had intake full exhaust and stand alone fuel management. My L69 was losing compression at 4400 rpms tho, so that had a little to do with it but still they are fast cars.

back when i barely bought my z28 5.0 carb 5spd i raced a buddy of mine who had an 04 type s. My engine was not running great it would throw out all kinds of smoke and a cylinder was misfiring. Well i got him off the line and once i shifted to second he pulled me by 2 car lenghts. It wasn't all that fast stock for stock i think it will be a good race but no stock they aren't that fast

they are 210hp and i dont know torque, and not very heavy. I had a 2002 rsx 5 speed, not the s type and it was still pretty quick. Fun to drive too

Yeah the one my buddy had i raced all the time. I beat a Turbo GTI while driving his car by 2 lengths, another modded RSX S by 1 car length, but i lost to a SRT4 neon by 2 car lengths

A stand alone fuel system? HUH? Was he turbo'ed?

brodysZ28

yea this thing def wasnt stock, it was loud as hell too, it had buddy club headers and full exhaust. ya the stand alone fuel management was the ecu chip tuned by hondata and had a laptop hooked up to it so he could adjust fuel/air right there. i stayed with him through like 3rd gear but then he pulled away pretty hard. and no boost. Thats funny you mention the gti z28gsxr cuz the same night my buddy ran him with a 02 gti running 16 lbs of boost and also got smoked.

raceman

gti's are fast too. you lost to the rsx? i dont no how because i have a stock grand am and smoked a turbod rsx type s. u either suck at driving or something was wrong with your car

A stock RSX-S would smoke a Grand Am. My wifes daily driver is a 99 Grand Am, with a 3400 v6, with headers, catback, and a tune. It'll run neck and neck with a stock RSX-S, so I can't see a stock Grand Am standing a chance against a stock RSX, much less a turbo'd one. My LG4 can holeshot an RSX-S good, and has enough on top to stay in front. I haven't encountered a heaviely modded one yet, but I'm sure they're quick as they get up to speed. I don't fear anything FWD from a dig to 50mph...

I lost to one cuz my car when i barely bought it was ****ed. i got it for 1200 and the enigne leaked oil everywhere so bad that it would hit the manifolds and fill up the interior with smoke :lol i would love to run into an RSX S now that i have my 355 5spd just need to work on my rear end since its not posi and want 373's

brodysZ28

ya there is no way that a grand am beat a turbo'd type s, my car was a little screwed up but still ran pretty strong and I couldn't keep up, my friends gti couldn't keep up and he runs 16psi , so a modded type s is no joke. I have a cammed 350 going in tho so hopefully i will be able to run the rsx down, the only thing is he is supercharging it so it should be interesting, oh ya by the way this rsx runs low 13s.

, someone has no clue...

brodysZ28

lol tell me about it... I hate the ppl that pass you in the passing zone then claim that they smoked you in a race.

I took a Viper with my L03, kidding. I used to own a grand am and my L03 WOULD take it, lol.

ROADBLOCK

i wanna run a turbo rsx type s

brodysZ28

i would like to see that race... those things def move.

90CamaroTBI

I tried to race one in my lb9 from a light one time and when the light turned green he didnt do anything so after I got to like 30 or 40 mph he wanted to start the ***** flyby. He didnt have enough, but yeah it was a type-s and i was suprised. A kid I know has a regular rsx with an auto that ran 17.2 best.

brodysZ28

the type s is a lot faster than the regular rsx, the kid that I ran runs low 13's, so they are quite a bit faster. those K20's can really go if the right mods are done.

ROADBLOCK

the K20 with th six speed combo is one of the best Honda has ever made. my friend has a turbo'd and built K20 in 1992 civic hatch and that thing moves out. despite being a musclecar guy, i actually know quite a bit about imports.

Demon355

iTrader: (1)

Dude I know has the exact same setup in a '91 Hatch and a H22 setup in a '92. He was racing his '91 at the track last summer and hit 9k shift points till the demise of the motor. It's too bad, that thing sounded like hell on wheels above 6k. I've seen vids of his H22 '92 running 13.5's with a pretty shitty 60' so I'm sure that thing has low 13's high 12's in it. I'm not much of one to race on the street anymore around here because of the new laws but I'd love to see his cars at the track and try and get a few runs in with him.

Never seen an RSX-S racing around here. Couple sitting in parking lots showing off their rims or underglow but nothing fancy. I'd just take the motor/trans and put them in a Civic myself, don't think they're nice looking cars at all.

ROADBLOCK

i have a couple other friends down here in Ohio who are into Hondas. One has a built B16 with a turbo and he needs slicks or he just runs a 15 in the 1/4 trapping like 127. His car on slicks ran a low 12 still spinning.

The other guy has an Integra with a JDM Type-R front end conversion, and he has a turbo H22 in it. that thing rips. I might hate on Mustangs a little bit, but im learning to look at them like i learned to look at Hondas, as cars with potential. But my 2 3rd Gens will always have my heart, as well as my 1999 Camaro SS.

brodysZ28

ya, with the right mods and enough money you can make any car fast, as for me, i will just take a sbc and take half the money that a turbo kit would cost and still beat them.

i can out run a RSX 5sp non S in my dakota 4x4 hell my dakota is faster than my 98 3800 v6 camaro i had. lol those lil rsx s can be quick though if i had to get a small car to use as a dd it would prob be the rsx s or the new civic si those lil rice rockets will move with the right mods

brodysZ28

the non type s has right around 160 hp and the type s has between 200-210 hp, thats a rude awakening if you think its a regular rsx.

freestylzz

The only encounter I've ever had with a rsx type s was on the highway. I remember he sped past me in the passing lane for 10-20 car lengths, although I could care less, as I had no intention on showing him otherwise and eating a speeding / racing ticket. But when I tried to get to the off-ramp he tried to cut me off and that's when I gave him a nosefull of V8 exhaust. Hell was it good, he had no chance and he ate it big-time.

brodysZ28

haha thats one way to prove your point...

84RIceEater

even tho k20's as i think the 3rd best flowing factory head in the world. i still love the b-series

Firebird_dave7

I went from a dig with my friend at a light and he was bout half a car ahead till the 60ft ended then my shitty tires caught and i took off like a bandit gettin away from a smokey, i have no tread and on the green i spun and he took off then i caught.

brodysZ28

my friend has a b series in his integra and it goes pretty good for basically stock, but I def think that the k20 is honda/acura's best motor.

jerryd87

iTrader: (2)

alot of the imports have serious potential and there not that expensive to build, yah turbo kits may cost like 3k but for a good set of forged internals on a 350 looking at around the same price. most of the imports have the advantage of stock forged internals(most are just crank and rods but a few have forged pistons too) and aluminum cylinder heads stock reallys just exhaust, turbo kit and a retune and you have major power(could go more radical with cams and port and polish for insane power) i wish the domestics would offer something like that at an affordable price cuz anyway you look at it 20psi boost from 5.7L> 20psi boost from 2.0L

brodysZ28

yea def agreed... its no lie that imports can make power but most V8's are more powerful that most imports to start with. Thats why I would rather start with a V8. supposedly if you add an sts turbo to a stock ls1 you are over 500 hp. After that cam and heads can give you rediculous numbers....

I wouldnt mind running one of these with my car at all, might be a good race?

brodysZ28

what do you got for mods? The 1 I raced had a lot more done than the average tuner, so I would bet on a win for you most of the time.

Not a race at all. Triple the cubic capacity, usable traction, and a 125 shot on top of all that, I wouldn't call it a race, more like a slaughtering.

85Firebird350

iTrader: (3)

Might be a little fun though. I wouldnt waste the nitrous on a run like that. I'm not a huge fan of it to begin with just could afford to do the heads and cam I want until I get a check from my lawyer.

brodysZ28

yea, you could def smoke just about any rsx type s, or any other import, on motor alone not to mention with nitrous. have you ever had it dyno'd??

85Firebird350

iTrader: (3)

Nope no dyno on this combo, not worth my time really. Runs good from what I can tell and everything. Never 1320'ed it either yet.

84RIceEater

its not always just about power it about power to weight.

brodysZ28

why not atleast run it down the 1/4... where is your nearest strip? I live about 2 hrs away from worcester mass.

Closest is actually NED. PM sent dude. The car just got finished right before the winter.

brodysZ28

yea thats my closest too. oh thats too bad bout the winter.

as an owner of an 03 rsx-s, i'll throw in my .02. completely stock, I use it for daily driving while my ls1 is down. It is a very comfortable car, good quality cars, and at least you can move out your own way if you have to. Only time I raced it was against my friends 94 mustang gt. His gt has full exhaust and gears, ran at the track a 14.6@96 iirc. Anyways, it was dead even from 40-90, I thought it was pretty funny. The gears on them are pretty agressive, hell it's a 6 speed and I'm doing over 3k rpms at 65mph, no overdrive gear. For 12k dollars it makes a good commuter, and will at least put up a fight to a 14 sec car if you felt the need to race it. They are decent cars.

iTrader: (14)

the only thing i didnt like with my 02, was the leather seats SUCKED!!! very uncomfortable after 20 minutes

Cali Z

ya i can see that, they aren't as cushioned as much as others but i feel pretty snug and supported, haven't had any trouble.
