Si vs. TSi
 

ok,

this go that lives by me wants to race me.....its for 20 bucks(not to much but still) and we will be racing at the track. i have a 89' Si slightly gutted... B16 with intake, header, high flow cat, and 2 1\4 piping. and he has a stock awd turbo talon running like 10 lbs of boost or something. what do you guys think my chances are? i am a farely good driver( i like to think so at least). thanks!

ps. the point of this post is just to save me 20 dollars or gain me 20 dollars so i can buy lunch everyday this week :)

If you guys race a full 1/4 mile, and that is all he has done, you might be able to catch him.. It also depends on how nice he is to his car.. Some guys just launch like a madman in dsms, and drop the clutch at 6 grand :o if he does that... you might not have a chance..

i say hes got ya. its all about the start.
its like racing 2 cars with similar hp, and one with slicks.
and i doubt its 10psi, but if that is what he's running then hes probably got more hp than you too.

Re:Si vs. TSi
 

Money says he is running over 15psi, pop the hood and check the wastegate vacuum lines.

Ya I think stock DSM's run 14-15 Bar boost.

yea i bet he is too. theres a list of FREE mods he can do to. i don't think you gotta chance unless he can't drive,

"Ya I think stock DSM's run 14-15 Bar boost"

um 15bar of boost would be around 225psi tyler your confused 1bar equals about 15psi (14.?).

Meant PSI Beau...thanks for catching it...

Re:Si vs. TSi
 

Come on tyler get with the program. I still think that the AWD DSM will take that crx. If the other dude just drops the clutch anywhere above 4000 rpm, then he will win. The turbo will already be spooling and the car will be gone.

Turbo that crx, run 10psi on that b16 and make the thing haul serious ass.

Re:Si vs. TSi
 

well, i plan to be running turbo probably by summer. this guy just pisses me off...cuz he trys to race everyone and he usually wins. he did race a supercharged 5.0 mustang and got murdered....as well as a b16 turbo crx....he had him off the start...but once he got traction GOOD-BYE TALON BOY!

Re:Si vs. TSi
 

Agreed, my friend has an older talon, the ugly ones, and he is boosting 15 psi. Cost him nothing to turn the boost up.

Re:Si vs. TSi
 

I dont give a ---- if he is running 7 PSI you dont have a chance IMO...
They hall ass... Dont mean to be negative but seriously...
Unless I missed something about you being turbo or running a fairly big shot of Nitrous,
Let us know how it goes, I put 50$ on the DSM.
