3L vs GSR

[S2Knott]

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?

you'll have no problem

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.

[mattsBLK99cSVT]

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

Time to turbo-charge your 3L.. makes for some stiff competition for nearly all cars you cross!

Can't I just have you drive behind me and push me when I need it?

yeah GSR hatches are good for 14s if he knows how to drive, maybe even better. I know a couple guys around cincy with the same setup and they beat cars with more horsepower constantly. But ever car is different so I say, Hey go race and find out

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
