Sup guys just got my rsx-s couple days ago. Just wash and detailed the car the other day. So far I just bought an Injen cai. My name is James btw
, well here is some pics lmk what you guys think.

To bad N/A (fully built) will always outpower boost (even if fully built). The power on N/A is instantanious as opposed to waiting for something to spool up. Also it takes half the horsepower for a N/A to run the same times as a boosted car.
But i love boost can't have it any other way.

pshhh, factory warranty > no factory warranty
but then again, i only have 21k miles on my car and i've owned it since september of 05.

I would have to completely disagree... Find me a stock rsx with 230whp that can trap 120+ and run mid 11s.

Did you not see what i wrote? Fully Built
I didn't say "mildly built" i didn't say stock i said Fully built.
A stock rsx mildly built isn't even going to cut close. Built vs. built a N/A will run almost equivalant time or faster then a turbo'd vehicle on less the horsepower.

Im not arguing just want to see your reasoning.... Let's say a Fully built NA K20a2 makes 300whp is that ok? I havent seen a stock weight fully built NA rsx run an 11. There are fully built turboed rsxs running 10s though. Horsepower is horsepower no matter what means it comes from whether it be NA or boost. Fully built vs fully built doesnt mean anything cause numbers are different. The highest hp turbo k20 is around 900whp. The highest NA k20 is what 350whp. You cant really compare...

That and there isnt anything laggy when you brake boost
Yeah pyrsx will def run a high 9.

You're not catching the logic here...
For a fully built N/A rsx to run 10's it would be on less the HP then that of a turbo'd fully built rsx to run 10's. It's not a myth take a look at times of a fully built N/A vs a Turbo'd vehicle. Look how much HP a fully built N/A has compared to a Fully built Turbo'd. There's a huge difference in power between the two..
look at any vehicle that's a fully built N/A and look at the time with the HP it makes. Then look at a fully built turbo'd vehicle that runs the same time and look at it's HP numbers. there is a huge difference again.. the N/A will have half or even more then half the HP of that to a turbo'd vehicle.
Also i'm not talking about HP being a factor i'm just trying to say there is a difference between the amount of HP you make between a fully built N/A to a fully built Turbo'd vehicle. Either one can be fast yes but that is not what i'm getting at here.
I don't think you want to brake boost in drag racing.. "brake boosting" is just a highway type of "no lag" help (for highway racing which i do not condone) which IMO is a waste when you could just feather the clutch just as fast.

The only reason this is true is because the N/A cars weigh MUCH less than the turbo'ed cars you are referring to. For example if you take the same car and put a 300whp NA motor in it and then a 400whp turbo motor in it the turbo car will et and trap higher if and only if they weigh the same.
Do you see any stock weight fully built NA rsxs running 10s or 11s? No
Do you see 2000-2300lb civics with fully built k20s running 10s or 11s? Yes
Also there is such a thing called antilag. I use it and it works. Even without antilag my 35r builds a few pounds preloading the trans.

I'm not referring to putting a k20 into a civic and then racing a 2800lb rsx fully built that's not even in the same class. Power to weight ratio kicks in there and the lighter car will outrun the heavier car. This is no different then trying to argue a V8 to a 4 cylinder power blah blah blah..
Same chassis 1 being fully built N/A and the other being a fully built turbo, the fully built N/A will have half the HP of that to a fully built turbo'd vehicle to run equivalant times. The reason being is because of the compression. Since a fully built turbo'd vehicle runs on a hell of a lot lower compression then that of a built N/A it requires MORE "power". You catching me?

No Im not catching you. How does compression come into this picture?? How does a turbo car having lower compression require more power? Even if a low compression car is making that hp figure, it means that hp figure. So according to your logic my 650whp isnt really 650whp cause I have low compression?? You said quote "Also it takes half the horsepower for a N/A to run the same times as a boosted car." This is a false statement. Power to weight is very relevant to this argument because no matter if the power is NA or turbo if the cars weigh the same and make the same power they will run the same times. You are basically saying that N/A power is better than boosted power which is false. Power is power. You cant even argue that turbo vehicles have bad low end power cause when does a car ever see less than 6k rpms at the track? Please reexam the above mentioned cars. Those 10 sec NA vehicles probably weigh nothing where as the 10 sec turboed vehicles weigh alot.

Yes power is power but a N/A car will have Half the HP then that of a fully built turob'd vehicle to run the same times. Why wouldn't a fully built Turbo'd vehicle weight close to nothing also if it's been put it into a lighter vehicle? There is still no difference.
No according to your "missunderstanding" your car isn't really making 650 whp. I did not say that. "Also it takes half the horsepower for a N/A to run the same times as a boosted car." Yes if they are the same weight but one is built N/A and one is built turbo'd the fully built turbo'd vehicle will have more power to run the same time as a N/A vehicle. What do you think people who drag race, not for fun, but for a living they will have a stock vehicle? seriously, they are going to have a lighter vehicle or put it into something that is lighter then that of what it came in. How many 600 whp N/A vehicles run the same time as a 600whp turbo'd vehicle in the same vehicle? Prolly none because the 600hp N/A will out run the turbo'd vehicle.
On the compression i was talking about. Try to run 200hp on a low compression vs a 200hp high compression vehicle and see who wins. I guarantee you the higher compression will kick the lower compressions *** all day every day, every day all day.
If you still not understanding what i'm saying call up any well known import shop and ask them "How much HP would a fully built N/A vehicle have compared to a fully built turbo'd vehicle to run the same times?"
Before you say "Well if N/A outpowers a turbo'd vehicle then why don't the pro's do it" it's because it's very expensive. Turbo is a cheaper way to go and even the pros have a budget.

I'm saying it may run the same time, around the same time or faster on less HP then that of a turbo'd. So in a sense Yes.
