Kicked the s*** out of a 97 Integra Type-R

Mazda INVENTED the twin turbo-charger and are PERFECTLY knowledgable about turbo charger systems i.e. Eunos, Cosmo, GLC, blah blah blah, the list goes on. The only reason they outsourced it was to make AMERICANS buy a ******* turbo car because it had the Callaway nameplate on it.

......are you sure about that......because I have seen twin turbo airplanes from the 40's.....you may want to look into that before you sack ride so hard....just a thought

Now wait a sec...you're gonna have to clarify this statement for me. I've a got a buddy that has an '02 Z28 that he's put around two grand into. He's sitting right at about 380rwhp.

I'm in my RX-7 for somewhere in the neighborhood of $15K, not including cosmetic crap, and I'm sitting at that same 380rwhp. My p/w ratio is better, simply because his Camaro is a pig, but his torque bests me by quite a bit.

.......................ouch....3360 is not what I would call a pig.........the 03 cobra is 3,800 ...now thats a pig

Well...okay. I'll be fair and call it a piglet then. My (former) Audi comes in at 3,700, so I see where you're going. But the RX-7 is 2800lbs. And 560lbs is a HUGE difference. It *is* a pig compared to the RX.

And my RX is a pig compared to the Lotus Elise, which should end up weighing in at like 1900lbs., or something equally as rediculous.

Flame this up again! Lets get the fire started!

uhm, 90% of the time a modded turbo car is faster then a modded n/a car. All the outlaw class for import drag is turbo.

Try running a stock type r vs a stock msp. See who gets their butt whooped. The B18C5 is far superior to the ford motor we have on our cars.......don't even let me go in to which car has a better tranny.

I've driven both hondas and now i own a msp, so i can safely say that the engines/trannys in a honda is light years ahead of what the protege has.

I kinda agree on this point..my tranny was already acting up at 7k miles before I even put the turbo on my car...my crx's tranny didn't start acting up until 215k miles

the thing with a type r is it is able to be modified successfully in n/a mode where this ford motor in our car only avenue is FI...i'm loving it though
