Re:galant VR4 run 23 psi
umm, looks can be deseving... i have a 88 CRX HF, it looks like an Si. the tach goes red at 5K i pull to 7K+, the cluster says it has 837,XXX miles on it.....to the average onlooker a car may 'apear stock' but it maybe modified heavly. the engine could have easily been swapped or rebuilt somewhere along the line, or it may have 200K on it (if you take car of a Japanese motor it will last forever). im pretty sure you can have a very stock looking DSM and go 11's. but personally i think this guy is a ricer and is talking out of his ***...

Re:galant VR4 run 23 psi
The 4g63T is MUCH HEAVIER ( 2 strong mother F'ers can BARELY pick one up ) due to its iron block. The iron block makes it a much better "boosting motor". I believe the 4g63 also has piston squirters like the supra and VR-4 motors to cool the pistons.
EVERYTHING in the 4g63 is beefer b/c it was built for boost. If you saw the ports on a 4g63 you'd crap yourself ( they are huge, even compared to my stealthTT heads that have a better VE then a 2Jz supra motor ).
Honda 1.8L high comprssion at best
DSM 2.0L low compression
Another problem is that no matter how many times we post that "tuning is the key" not everybody in the world sees this website ( as crappy as that sounds ) and does like my friend and slaps a FMU controller greddy kit on and turns the boost to 15psi, and then honda get "blown-up". The DSM factory ecu is very good about saving the motor. It has a factory knock sensor that retards the timing if the owner is running too much boost ( the same friend of mine ran 22psi on his girlfriends GS-T with the stock IC and T-25 turbo, the turbo is done at about 15psi, the ecu saved that motor MANY TIMES ) while the honda doesn't have a "dumbass tuner" feature built-in to say "hey, 30psi on a tiny turbo isn't going to work", the honda will just blow-up.
8sec 1/4 mile awd dsm's also use the factory AWD system !! They have to replace it almost every run, but no less they do use it. The honda would break in the 8's I'm pretty sure.
The honda was built to run 1,000,000+ miles in N/A formm while the DSM was built to run about 60K miles then the car falls apart around the drivetrain. DSM have about the same "build-quality" as a older neon ( THEY SUCK ). THe only DSM that doesn't fall apart around the stout drive train is the galant VR-4, any guesses as to why ??
It was built in Japan like the CRX.
