T2 beat by rsx
My friend just got done racing an RSX. T2 has custom port job , racing beat exhaust , no power steering and no air conditioning. its an 88 10th anniversary and since i dont know much about fc's i was wondering if anyone could tell me about how much horsepower he has and what he would possibly run in the 1/4. also it was a Type S that beat him and i was wondering what mods would the rsx have to have to beat the T2 in a 1/4 by about 2 and 1/2 cars

the rsx wouldnt let us look under the hood and i think it was sprayed cause it looked like the exhaust spit a littl bit when he hit 2nd gear and the T2 was not driver error so i dont know. we dont know anything about the fc so we were wondering if anyone can give us a rough estimate on what it is putin out to the wheels at least if you have the stock car info that would be helpful. we are just baffled cause this **** just doesnt happen

You know what's hilarious?
When I was still breaking in my stock turbo TII, with gutted cats and a K&N drop-in filter, I raced an RSX on the freeway. It was a Type-S with at least an aftermarket cat-back exhaust. I slowly made my way up to where he was driving, while remaining in 4th gear. I got next to his door and "made my presence known". After about 2 seconds, he down-shifted into 3rd and took off. I remained in 4th gear at about 70mph (turbo slowly spooling) and although he pulled away, as I reached 85+, I began pulling on him, while running 6.5psi! As we 'kept at it', he tried to get over into my lane, because there was a car coming up in his lane and I had caught up, to the point where he had to slam on his brakes to avoid rear-ending the car in front of him!
That being said, I would've smoked him had I down-shifted into 3rd gear as well... I had 800 or so miles on an 85psi compression, stock turbo, 6.5psi boost motor...
haha, RSX's are slow...

What's a custom port job (eg. small streetport, large SP, halfbridge full bridge?!) and does he have some kind of fuel mods to support the port job and racing beat exhaust!?
an FC on stock turbo and stock ports i know of made 240WHP on the dyno with just an Rteck ECU to compensate for extra boost.
So unless that guy is making a good 40 - 50WHP more then stock i don't see it beating a TII unless the TII has some issues. Again this is assuming it's a Type S, which you don't seem to be to sure about.
BTW, just a little pet peeve of mine. But, last time i checked headers are part of your exhaust, so why list it as a separate modification when your already listing exhaust.
Anyways, this race doesn't make any sense
Did i mention i did an intake and put a filter on it! Woot!

i just raced him at about 1:30 this afternoon in my FD and i beat him but it was only by about a car. and it is not a type s. its only a 5 speed. we raced from a dig and i immediately pulled about 2 cars on him and throughout the run he gained another car but i started pulling him again in the middle of 4th and he let off. i got to look under his hood for a split second before he slammed it in my face and he had electrical tape around his fuel injector wire and when i started following the lines to his fuel rail he immediately said he had to go and closed the hood on me. i hate people like that. he told me he wasnt sprayed but i guess that answers it

yea, i'm sure he's got the no2. type-s with all bolt ons and everything just barely breaks in to the high 13's. a TII with stock turbo and exhaust with higher boost can easily hit low 13's. if the fc you are speaking of truly has those mods... this rsx should have been cake. so yea... he's hiding the naawwwwwwssss. that's pretty gay that he won't admit it. a power adder is a power adder. who gives a ****.

And.... new member w/ the name "needrx7" having an FD that would pull 4-5 cars on a T2 modded like that? I dunno. I'd think he'd either not have an RX7 or wouldn't have mods really.... But oh well.
And to the guy talking about beating an RSX......... You were going WOT and full boost while still breaking in the engine???

damn rsx are fast but this is wat i think man n/a cars will never have potential like turbo cars . especially turbo rotarys my god theyre fast , i think only way the t2 losing is if it beats its self ( the drive ) . just like my friend who has an s2000 he thinks his **** is soo fast and he is soo cocky . he told me that he lost to an old school maxima TURBO , he wasnt actually sure but i was like maxima turbo ya rite. soo i really think ur friend with the t2 beat himself wen he raced the rsx.

I think this entire story is made up. "IneedaRX7", I don't believe you have an FD. Or else..you wouldn't have this name. Stop making up fake cars and fake races. THANKS.

the latest RSX (especially type-s) are no jokes. Their motors are superior to the earlier ones and from what I've read on other forums, they (contrary to most other Honda motors) react very well to bolt-on mods. The latest Type-S will easily eat up S2000s with some simple mods.
