hurry up and rewrite your question with more details before you get flamed.

 

Lots of factors
Driver skill
The TC is 2.4 liter
SI is 1.6 altho they are 1 hp differnt but the EM1 is lighter so i would say the em1 would have the advantage
Given the drivers are at the same skill level

 

look up the stock tct 1/4 mile times ...dragtimes.com showing at about 7psi on a greddy kit they run low 14's maybe high 13's...

 

it would be a close race
off the line it would be the driver wins

 

sounds good all i needed to know. some dude was baggin on me with his turbo tc-t yesterday and i cant wait to slap on my kit

 

not sounding good for u.. it takes a lil bit of practice to get used to a turbo cars characteristics. just slapping on a kit that is not tuned is not gonna net very well and ur gonna look like the ***

 

i know what im doing tough guy. im not gonna run people left n right when im not tuned jus chillin on a basemap.

 

Arent this bench racing threads not allowed in here?

 

thats pretty lame, i was just tryina get some opinions

 

No one is trying to be a tough guy. Get your car boosted and put on the dyno. From what I have seen some TC kits now come pretty beefy like Full Race kits do...so in the end I think it comes down to tuner and turbo...then again DRIVER is the main thing on this. Yeah driving a boosted car is not like watching your slow B16 go waaaaaAAA(SHIFT)

a/A=1,000RPM
a=not in VTEC
A=VTAK!
Bench racing is for losers. Take it to a track.

 

so when u say turbo than wut is a good turbo for a b16. i heard garretts wheels tend to produce shaft play . and whats a good tuning shop in virginia or maryland

 

my question how old are you^

 

I'd start with forged pistons and rods and some ARP bolts,Inline Pro mani,Precision Turbo, Tial wastegate,SPAL fan, oil catchcan etc. and look for a turbo shop to install custom 3" down pipe.

Should be good for about 360whp and 240 tq

 

old enough to turbo a civic and do it right. but just for your info im 21

 

JE Import Performance up in baltimore..guy is awsome with his customer service he is a full race shop. He will cater to yo ur needs and do what u want and he is an awsome tuner he was gonna build my si before i bought an STI a few months ago..I HIGHLY recomend him he knows what he is doing..he is a little pricey but does fantastic work...JEImportperformance.com

 

I would rather boost an si.

 

I would rather not have my si stolen..
