I had just turned on to the highway when an RSX comes zippin up next to me in the right lane, we slowed down for the approaching red light but it quickly changed green before we came to a stop, we were both in 1st gear. We each hammered it at the exact same time, and instantly i pulled about 3 feet ahead of him, slammed it into second , spun the tires, and got another 5 feet, and stopped for the next red light. We talked at the light for a sec, and slowly rolled out because it was a sketchy area (cop wise). We made are way through town going semi fast, until he booted it and got about 3 cars ahead (i wasnt racing he jsut floored it) and as the single lane opened into 2, we both floored it (I was still 3 cars back) and neither of us pulled. After that we pulled into the local Futureshop (Best Buy) and talked for awhile out side of the cars, turns out it was a type-s , i was fairly suprised by the results.

not bad considering the RSX's have 200 hp stock...and thats to the front wheels if I'm not mistaken...good run and way to keep the 92's in the spotlight :D

uhhh good kill....but i think rsx woulda taken you....r u sure he was in 1st not in 2nd?

and yes you are mistaken. That is 200hp to the crank. Unless an RSX is FI'd it won't hit 200HP to the wheels I don't think.

It can do it without FI but it'll take all the bolt-ons plus toda cams and some good tunning to get to 200

ahh I c. Well ok, I stand corrected. It is VERY HARD to reach 200fwhp without FI on RSX-S.

ah ok ....I was always under the impresion that there was less loss of power for front wheel drive cars because of the lack of driveshaft and rear diff...thanks for the correction though :)

huh? is not hard to get 200 fwp

huh? is not hard to get 200 fwp
what vehicle are you talking about? ANd I didn't necessarily mean it was hard as in difficult. But it takes just about everything possible available for an RSX-S less the turbo or supers.

Or a set of headers exhaust and hondata...

you sure those 3 things hit 200fwhp?

ive seen them hit 200 with bolt ons

i dont have proof on me
but i seen them at a dyno day

the last model that came out of the type S has 220 hp

OMG!! I'm not saying it is impossible to hit. I'm just saying on the Acura RSX-S in order to get 200 FWHP (at the WHEELS not the CRANK) WITHOUT forced induction (i.e. turbocharger or supercharger) that they will have to use probably every bolt on available for them and probably also need the cams and tuning.

Olazabel
It is 210hp, not 220hp. 220 is JDM type R.
And 05 RSX-S are a big heavier and rolling on 17".

Correction 2004 RSX Type S. The guy put 20000km on it in 3 months.

what is that responding to? I'm confused.

Oh it was just a random blurt.


Dont mind me i tend to talk to myself.

LOL I noticed. :) What guy put 20k km on his car though?

The guy who owned the RSX, when i was talking to him he said he only had the car for 3 months, and had already put 20000k on it. I was amazed, but then again im easily amused haha :devillook

K20 with intake, exhaust, and a kpro ecu will put 200 to the wheels. With headers it will put 212-214 to the wheels. I 've dynoed many myself on a dyno jet.

hmmmm.... sounds like a huge load of crap to me. a 92 325 beating a 2004 type s? maybe he started in second when u hit it in first. u can get to 200whp easy in a type s all u need is intake exhaust and a hondata reflash. u dont even need to spend a grand on kpro. the time i raced a 325 from a stop (rsx's have fwd) i beat him by a couple cars so from a first roll he shouldve pulled about the same on you if he was stock. for u to have won by that much either u went before him or he started in the wrong gear/shifted early.

Don't you have anything better to do, then searching forums for kill stories about your car then start to defend it?
You said it your self, maybe the guy with the rsx didn't start in the right gear or maybe he didn't know how to drive.... so!? He lost, that's all, it doesn't really matter why he lost, he just LOST. Everytime somebody posts a kill in this section of a Honda, it's almost certain a hondaboy will come and try to explain how the guy with the honda sholdn't have lost.

Wow 2 posts from you today in Kills, and both of them antagonistic. Keep it up and you won't be posting here much longer...

I honestly didnt believe i'd win either, fully agree he coulda been in 2nd, probably. Point is it was fun.

good neutral reply....but watch the profanity. You'll wind up in TO if you keep cussing in kill stories. Dave & Hugo are trying to deter people from that.

you have to be sure if he was on 1st gear or second gear
usally the honda cars won't start good unless they hit vtec, which is above 5000rpm, and i think rsx type s shouldv took you by 1 or 2 car..
well it all depends on driver but good kill

Sorry m8

wont let it happen again. ;)

Yes, please watch the profanity in the Main Forums...

Not everyone with any Honda product can drive like me. :lol :)
Nah, just playing..... but really though. I don't feel like I have to explain a Honda getting beat on here cuz I know that it takes a helluva driver to bring the full potential out of one with some decent power. I took my GSR to 9.3 in the 1/8th with a 2.1 60 ft. and a 14.5 in the 1/4(with my check engine light on) Thats with bolt ons only. But I knew my limitations though. my GSR > 3.18/3.23/3.25/3.28 and maybe a 3.30 if it wasn't modded too much. But for sure my GSR < M3/Mcoupe- Z3 2.8 or more/5.40-M5/740 Just gotta know your limitations where you even have a point or not

I thought rsx type -s before 05 already had 17"s?

Nope, not even as an option.

What was your trap for the 1/4 and 1/8?

From a roll, a 328 would be dead even, people run mid to high 14s with them all the time. The 330 would also be pretty close to your car.

No denying that the rsx-s or gsr motors don't like to get up and go. They're quick cars.

What do you have done to the gsr?

My trap speed in the 1/4 was 97mph and I'm not sure what my 1/8th trap speed was...maybe like like 74 or 73mph. Well I don't have it anymore, but it it had Comptech Intake w/Ice Box, header, exhaust, test pipe, and aluminum pullies. The Neuspeed suspension also helped out alot to keep the weight squatted down on the front tires istead of rocking the weight back off the drive wheels.

I'll race you, Justin... since your bro wussed out and all... :devillook

:D

Damn Dave.... what is your ZHP.. a 3.30? What do you have done to it? That's amazing that you went a 14.0 but our trap speeds were the same. ANd also... you know I don't have my GSR anymore... had to sell it and step down to something I could buy cash. I'll be looking at driving something newer soon. Maybe an Integra Type R (if I could find one stock) or an e36 M3

Oh, actually Justin, I didn't know you had to sell the GS-R, dude, sorry to hear about that...

ZHP = Performance Package for 330, there's a ZHP info thread parked at the top of the E46 3 series forum with what comes in the package... 10 hp, 8 ft lbs, gears, etc....

Nice trap with the GSR. I wouldn't mind owning one if it had a little more room inside and were rwd :) .

I've got a friend with a gsr that's got headers, some intake, and a test pipe and that thing gets up and goes.

Nice kill but I have a feeling it was auto or something. I have every mod besides forced induction and I have a problem pulling anymore than a car length or two on my cousin's DC-5 S. Those things haul ass when they kick into Vtech, especially in 3 third gear. In third gear he can actually reel me in quite a bit.

It can do it without FI but it'll take all the bolt-ons plus toda cams and some good tunning to get to 200

It wouldn't take nearly that much. Look on hondata.com and you might be surprised.
