    Default 3L vs GSR

    hot shot ricer at school just got a 92 hatch with a GSR, no power steering, or AC, its got a 3 y pipe back fart cat and some cheep steelies, and a intake.

    and he says that his GSR would destroy my car and all his ricer buddies think the same thing, i dont have any interest in racing until my car is tuned and the bugs are worked out, but i just want to know how fast this POS can really be.

    so could a crappy 92 hatch beat my 3L?

    well when i think about it his motor had 180hp stock, and probably has around 190 now with exhaust and AEM V2 intake.

    i probably have 220-230hp at the crank.

    but his car weighs hundreds of pounds less than mine.... it would be interesting.

    its got 160hp and weighs about 400lbs less than our cars, so hes got about 140hp to the wheels with the intake and stuff maybe 145 but thats it. I believe svt 3l's make at or above 200 whp so even though theres a big weight difference not a problem for the good ol svt unless it had a integra type r motor swap

    Putting that motor into a gutted hatch makes for stiff competition with an intake/exhaust / 3 liter contour.

    i'd put my money on the honda, those things are fast as hell with swaps, but ive never ridden in a 3l so i don't know

    I think gsr motors are 180hp but I'm not sure. B16 motor (si motor) is the one with 160, B18(I think is gsr motor) is 180hp. But I could be totally off

    the power output is dependant on what year GSR. they range anywhere from 140HP in some 03's to 200+ in a 96 integra GSR. find out what year the motor is from and then go here and look up how much power it made.

    I'm not a fan of "Rice", there is a difference between the two though. "Rice" and Import that is... This car seems to have a lil bit of both. I hate to say it, but that GSR in that lil car will probably take ya...
