I plan on going all motor on my car but i really cant decide on what to do first and what will help my car more..Should I go Camshaft and pisten etc etc first..i dont have a whole lot of money but I'll get the money for the parts but i need help gettin the nexy best thing for my car and that would help me take out a rsx with a basic set up lol..any Advice would help

 

What do you have done right now, or is it stock?

 

cams and a good header

 

I have a Dc Short ram Intake and Dc sports 4-1 Headers and I am gettin the N1 Apexi Exhaust system in two weeks,

 

im guessing you have a gsr since its in your sn? if your only goal is to beat a rsx type s then i would think with ihe you should be able to take him.

im going to have to disagree with that..type S has so much more power and torque.

x2 there aint no way in hell u can beat a type S with just i,h,e. but some internals u would

 

just get a 50 shot nitrous kit

 

gsr with i/h/e can definately beat a type s it just comes down to a drivers race. My 99gsr has aem cai, dc 4-1 header, smsp cat, apexi ws2 exhaust and it ran a 14.89@93 2 weeks ago first time at the track... It all comes down to the driver a type s is not really any faster than a gsr with i/h/e

^^^And weight.

I consistently beat my friends RSX-S (which had intake, and cat-back) in my 4 door GS-R. My GS-R at the time had an AEM cold air, DC 4-1 Header, Random Technologies Cat, and a Greddy SP2 cat-back. Oh, I had better tires too. My best run was a 14.74 @ 93.3mph. His best run was a 14.91 @ 92.4mph.

 

whats the other best thing after i/h/e and short shifter. I'm not that heavy i only weight 105 pounds so the car is light enough. I'm also gettin a new clutch in two weeks. I'm gettin ready to run him at the track against him in 3 weeks and he has a intake and header and a down pipe which is really loud and annoyin it sounds like a truck and he also hasa short shifter, he clams to run low 14s, i say he doesnt so we are gonna prove it at the track, i really need help because this kid is soo annoyin, come to my work and just rev it at me. any advice would help

Ohhh Sweeeett, a downpipe on a n/a car

 

First of all man, work on complete sentences.
Some nice camshafts and cam gears would be nice.

 

yea i notice it too, haha o well, what would be the best cameshaft and cam gears?

 

ohh come on, no one else is going to chime in about a downpipe on an n/a??

 

well if i would was going to build my car for NA, i would start with teh basics first..I/H/E/IM...then move to the internals all at once......valvetrain and camshaft...soo you can just get it all over with one big install..and not have to rip apart the head just to get the cams in..then do it all agian later to get the valves and springs in......but most of all..GET IT TUNED!!!

 

would you have to take it to a shop to tune it? or buy a special divice?

lmao..your kiddin me right?

 

After the basic bolt-ons, go with cams and higher compression. I used the word compression rather than pistons, because higher compression can be achieved by way of valves, head gasket, head shaving, and other means that do not involve rebuilding the bottom end. Building the bottom end is also a great possibility. If your goal is to beat your friend in a drag race, invest in getting off of the line. This could mean a set of drag radials, or something as simple as motor mount inserts. Frequent the drag strip regularly to better your skills. An after market clutch, and a lighter (not too light) flywheel will help out as well. The most important aspect will be engine tuning. Good luck to you.

Just remember... practice makes perfect, and confidence = success.

 

the only type s he should be worried about being a big challenge would be the 05, my friends 02 type s, loses to my buddies gsr, with i/h/e and better tires, everytime they race, the type has a club rsx injen cold air and that is it


yes the type s has more power, but it also has more weight to factor in, and from a roll the type s's are nasty, but im not impressed with them from a dig

 

thanks alot, all the advice really help. i know what to do and once i have it done or close to done I'll post it up

 

You're welcome a lot.

Let us know how things turn out. If your friend actually runs low 14's, do yourself a favor and get drag radials. Drag radials alone will improve your times significantly. Good luck to you.
