my girl has the RSX.. hook up a turbo to that motor and a 3s wont come close.. unless that 3s is modded really heavily. top to bottom.. RSX engine is DEF a better engine to mod. in my choice. but as far as the original question... Run your new 3sgte a few times tune it. and see what kind of numbers your puttin up... IMO

bye.

you beat a turbo h22?!? crazy...
as for a rsx vs 3s stock for stock, I had no problem beating em. My friend's friend has a 2004. so...speaking from experience 3s would win. raced it off the line and raced it on a roll.. took it both and this is before my fmic

a better engine in what sense? You take the money needed to buy a turbo kit for the rsx, i'll take the money and buy a bigger turbo and other stuff. Same amount of money in........bubye rsx >>

Well seeing that the KA20 is a new engine good luck finding them as cheap as the 3SGTE, and I haven't actually seen an 800hp KA20, i'm not saying there isn't one, I just haven't seen it.

it all depends whats been done to the engine .. some engines u cant compare.. but these 2 you can. . .
ex: i seen a turbo civic beat a turbo rsx.. ??? which leads me to believe that a 6gc st or gt turbo can even beat a rsx... so its hard to say till u run em. thats y people bet lol

i dont fear the rsx...esp not this one

What a loser. Haha.

what happened to the car

add a turbo to an rsx and i can still beat ... ive destroyed one of the cybernation's turbo rsx type S on the highway... it was a short race thou... i was a car ahead of him and gaining until my shifter mest up... because of vibrations, some pin flew off and i could'nt shift into 4th gear ... but i ****ed him up in 2nd and 3rd... i was doing about 13-15 psi on 93 octaine with octaine booster... The good thing about turbo engines, is that you can always turn up the boost... if the rsx does beat you... just get some octaine booster and turn up your boost... also if you use a stock ECU, try to get the boost cut defender asap. and dont shift into 2nd until the wheels stop spinning...

preludes are heavy. i have driven a turbo h22 prelude. it was fun, and faster than most cars on the road, but it wasnt by any means fast

that 800 hp 3SGTE isnt in a FWD car, however, so that really isnt a logical comparison...

-saleeka+Apr 29, 2005 - 12:14 AM

doesnt matter if its not in a FWD car.. one motor is just way more capable than the other...

also: there is one in a fwd 7th gen celica pushing 640hp+
