Starion vs. Turbo si
 
I just got my dsm 1g mas on today and so i called my friend to see how well i put up against him now. he has a 99 civic si with a t3/t4 turbo and front mount with hondata, tuned 7psi and dyno'd at 225 hp. Everytime we raced before he would walk me like there was no tomarrow. This time we went and i pulled on him intell about 60 (i hit fuel cut) his front bumper was on my back bumper. lol So overall i am very impressed with my car. i dont have that many mods at all. i have a full 3 inch exhaust, 15 psi and a dsm 1g mas. just wanted to share my story because i didnt think i had a chance against him.

Cool !!! Another person with a TT 3S like me, and someone that has a Starion to go with his "starion IC" !!

Ok... ummm... What...

2.6L running twice the boost as a 1.6L and wins by almost a car.... Just pulling your chain man... I give you props for having a Starion ( I think there cool, and I'm not peri-recen hehehe ).

The starion really really really needs a bigger turbo !! Almost as bad as the VR4s !!

your friends civic ( I'm guessing ) runs in the high 13's ( best run, prob. inconcesatly ), but the cool part is that you hung with him from 0-60, the bad news is that you have RWD and should own him 0-60 by a lot !!! His car isn't going to "hook-up" very well on normal tires, but your car should...

DO YOURSELF A FAVOR and NNNNNEEEEEVVVEEERRRR race him from a roll !!! Hehehe... It wouldn't be pretty....

If you loss faith in the Starion, I'll buy it, hehe ( I perfer the conquest though.. )

The 2.0 starion is faster than the 2.6 starion, it's only 11hp less than the 2.6 stock (177 vs 188) but it weighs a lot less too.
It would be interesting to get a 2.0 starion (4G63 engine) and swap in a 4G63 from a turbo DSM. The gains are a better flowing head and multipoint fuel injection.

Re:Starion vs. Turbo si
 
An N/A 2.0L in the 80's making 177hp was the ---- !!! I bet turbo RX7s didn't make that much ( in real world, not the play world of "rotory guys" )...

SIde note... RX-8 = 155LBS. of torque !!! Dumb asses !!

Those things are slow than a box of rocks. I hate them, look good but are friggin slow.

The turbo 2.0L in the starion was 177hp. It's not really an efficient motor, 8 valves, choking head, choking intake manifold with a tiny little throttle body and TBI fuel injection.

Wonder what it would have been capable of if they didnt screw it up so bad :-\

That's where the DSM engine makes sense, it's should bolt right in since it's the same basic engine block.

Re:Starion vs. Turbo si
 
the 2.0 was never in a starion. it was alwase a 2.7 and the 4g63 bolts right up to the tranny.

the 2.0 motors in the starion only came in the jdm market.

Re:Starion vs. Turbo si
 
We had a handful of 2.0 starions here in Iceland.

basically yeah. i forgot to mention that. one of the weird occasions where the importers gave US the better engine.

I'd like to see a 4g63-->Starion swap. ;D

I saw a built race car starion that had a DSM motor and RWD. It had a monster turbo and nitrous, it ran a 9.8 and let-out about 4/5 of the track !!

It was at "battle of the rotarys", I mean " battle of the imports".
