Bone stock it made 184 hp at the wheels DAYMN I am impressed

I just though I would share that.

 

HOLY ****! That's about 24 more hp thant the ITR! Post the whole dyno, so were can break it down. I guess the car got faster with the ecu chip recal (my test drive car was SLOW). -C

 

does this mean it's really making 215bhp or that there's only an 8% drivetrain loss??? maybe 215 would explain some of these low et's we've been hearing about...

 

the ecu thing must have been a US only thing cause there was no such recall/reprogram in canada

 

Alright! Someone finally got to dyno this thing. Can you post it? I've been really waiting to see a Type-S dyno.

 

PLEASE CALL GROUP-A AUTOSPORTS FOR DETAILS

 

What was the milage on your type S?

 

post that puppy!!!

 

184?!? i'm gonna call BS on this one unless i see the plot...and even then i may call BS.

i've seen stock s2k's dyno an 190...are you telling me a stock RSX is within 6HP of an s2k? bs...b-f'ing-s.

 

With ya Speedy!
A large percentage of stock Type R's Dyno right at 163-165hp at the wheels. So the fact that the RSX Type S is only rated 5hp more doesn't add up at all.

I didn't doubt at first, but not having dyno sheet to post is kinda making question the claim.

 

Anyone ever have the thought that Acura might be under rating the HP figures?

 

ah hey

CAN ANYONE SAY BULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLLLLLL
****TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

 

I just found another thread about this same RSX-S although their's no dyno sheet up there yet either. Hopefully, the guy here or there posts it. I'm not calling BS yet, I'm still hoping that Honda's new engine really is all that. http://forums.clubrsx.com/showthread...&threadid=3284

It's like me saying that this guy is Tom Cruise

 

DAMNZZZZ If this is true than all I can say is...UH OH watch out.

see above link in which type S dynoed at 163. much more realistic, imo. i highly doubt there's 22whp of variability among these mass-produced cars.

185whp...pssshhh.

 

trudat..im raising the bull**** flag on this one also

 

Well I drove one and it was slower than my R (which is stock except for a k&n filter in stock air box). So if they do dyno that high that kinda sucks because that means they have a lot more power and they are still slower, unless my tester had a dead body in the trunk or something.

 

I test drove a type r and a Type S back to back and they are very comparable in terms of straight line speed. The type s weighs more so it should have more power.


And also type of dyno matters and the weight of the drum. so do not get your **** in a knot till you know the facts. Are all you type r owners scared that you car is not all that anymore??

 

group-a has dynojet model 248c dynamometer.

 

I drove ITR, RSX-S and S2000. S2000 definitely has good 30-40hp over ITR and it feels that much faster. RSX-S is only on-par with ITR. I highly doubt it's making extra 23hp than an ITR.

 

let's go back to this thread, where they have a scan up now, of course you'll still call bs, pssshhhhhhhhhhhh http://forums.clubrsx.com/showthread...&threadid=3284

 

i trust group-a and dave, they did my head. but no where in the clubrsx thread does it say that their rsx is bone stock. if i said my stock gsr was dyno'd at 166, wouldn't you raise the bull**** flag???

 

I noticed that too.

But anyways, the torque curve....or line...is ruler flat. I guess the "intelligence" really works.
