It really isn't that fast or good of a time. Im just surprised that i took the G so easily. and the car does low 15, high 14s easily stock, how hard is it to shave a second? it isn't hard to do that with any car. every car is different. i have a huge weight advantage over the G. doesn't take nearly as much HP/TQ to get me movin.
edit: 13's with these cars/motor is nothing to brag about. They are extremely common. Just check out the ClubRSX.com boards. 12/11 second and under is. how did this come about me being under fire?

site that posts "stock figures" from recognizable publishing places that have tested cars for times. Listed time for STOCK 02 RSX Type-S 14.8 in quarter. This is printed material that I remember having from Car and Driver too. -
Ok, your link shows a RSX-s going 14.9.
Here is another link ( the best I could find ) with 20 something times from RSX's. Now to get that car into the " mid 13's " guys are using F.I. of every kind. I think there was 1 guy that claimed a 13.7 with cams and bolt ons, but I took a look at his timeslips, they didnt add up.
http://www.dragtimes.com/Acura--RSX-Drag-Racing.htmlCongrats on taking the G35, I am not doubting that. But just because you buy the car and the previous owner tells you it ran " mid 13's " doesnt mean it has.

thats a 2005 at the 14.9, 3 cars above is 2002 at 14.8. majority of the 20sec RSX are just base model ones. Majority of FI owners are running 11-12 sec. Majority of owners who have done cams havn't seen much of an increase compared to the Hondata #4 with intake/exhaust. Only major increases in trap times owners experience are from any type of FI. Why are you so worked up on me "claiming" a second or so quicker than stock? I just dont undestand why.

I think you are more worked up then me. All I did was call you out on it. You claimed to run a mid 13, then I asked for some proof.
mid 13 is 13.3-13.7.i could understand if i was saying that i was in the 9, 10, or even 11's. 13's aren't that great of a time to brag about. unless it was a car that originally ran something near 20s, then i could understand.

What he was referring to(I think anyway) is the ability of your car to hit mid 13's with the LACK of mods. Not everyone knows how well the K20 responds to mods. It seems a little stretch to me, but apparently they respond that well. What weighs more, an SI or RSX?

What weighs more, an SI or RSX?the exhaust (header and catback), hondata intake gasket along with hondata #4 are among the best NA mods these engines like. Yes you can do others but for the value you arn't seeing too much of a gain with them unless going FI.
MSN Autos Curb weight for both cars:
2006 Civic SI: 2877
2002 RSX-S: 2767 -
basically the same motor yes....the si has a different head.....its more like the head on the k24...but yeah.

If you were to say it ran low 14's, I wouldnt have said anything, but you claimed mid 13. That is a stretch IMO. I did some research and with them mods you have, high 13 is NOT the norm.
I know every car is different, but for instance. When I was living up there a guy drove down from GF with his rsx-s with a supercharger on it. High 13's@100 trap speed.
So going with that, then telling us that you have a tuneand full exhaust and your running better times then he was? -
yeah your car running mid 13's with those mods i dont think is possible....also jasons 14.2 was with drag radials....
and your hondata IMG does nothing...supposed to lower intake temps by 5 degree's or whatever it is...but really it does nothing.

TROOF! the injen rocks and **** is so niceeeee! codys car though has a bunch of luxury ice added to it, so it could be mistaken for a g 35 from the side. just saying. dont forget your torque dampeners, i got wheel hop bad when i raced you stock. care to try again?

that reflash was the key in unlocking a lot of the power. the intake (no longer on the car) and exhaust helped, but the reflash is what helps the most on these cars. only wish it was kpro instead of the hondata reflash for more control and tuning. im not doing anything else to the car (always wanted the comptech charger) but im moving to a more luxury car next. hopefully by fall.edit: oh, and i swear these engines love the cold air. It feels like there is an extra 25 horseys when it is this cold. the damn thing just pulls hard as hell.

there are a ton of guys on clubrsx that run 13's with basic bolt ons and mid to upper mid 13's with kpro. Its definitley possible.
