turbo the z. thats what i would personally do. although im not a big honda fan and wouldnt own one but the question is how bad do you want the honda to be finished. if your almost done and its 1 thing holding you back id finish and save for the turbo for the z until later

just my opinion

Spray the Z and beat everything. Forget turbo. I destroy stock block turbo Z's with just my 75 shot. I got 3 kills under my belt, 2 had Turbonetics kits, one had STS rear mount. I actually had my best race with a Stillen SC Z that was stage 3. We were neck and neck with me with a nose. The instant power of N20 secured my wins.

You should see the look on the Turbo Z guys faces!!!! Priceless. They think there cars are untouchable. When I tell them I only have a 75 shot there mouth drops.

N20 FTW!


Integras are so 10 years ago also. Most are driven by poor mexicans here. Its tough to say but....., Z's and G's are the new Integras around here!!!! LOLOL

You said yourself that you wanted to keep the Z stock for daily driving and have a racecar Honda. If I were you I'd stick to your plan and finish the Honda. I'd personally rather have one INCREDIBLY fast car (which is what your Honda could be if you finish building it) than two fast cars (which is what your Honda is currently and what your Z will become if you turbo it). Finish the Honda and use it for racing. Keep the Z stock or only give it basic mods like intake or exhaust and use it for daily driving. That's what I'd do!

do what you want since your almost done with the honda then finish it. In my opinion 305 for that car is enough but i would go for like 350 - 380 then you have traction issues. I have a friend that has a 93 hatch and he made 492 whp on a dynojet at 22psi and 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th gear he just spins tires sometimes even 5th if he hits 5th in boost

Sell the Z, finish your honda...FWD honda would drift better. Then go to the honda forum and let them Z's are too slow.

No. He was saying that he beat a turbo'd 350Z with his Integra.

^nah, you Z don't have the V-Tech, I wouldn't say slow. Try racing it and wait for their V-Tech to kick in.

The car is still only putting out barley over 200 horsepower at the crank. Granted the car weighs a whole lot less than the Z, but stock for stock I'd still put my money on the Z

Finish the Honda then move onto the Z. You don't want two on going projects on your hands simultaneously.

Btw what mods do you have on the Honda?

Yeah but it's the way the RSX delivers the power its like god himself is helping the wheels turn more than 200whp it's amazing. WHen v-tec kicks in you get another eleventybillion hp just from the sound alone.

I beat John Force in a stock RSX (on drag radials of course) in a drag race.

Finish the Honda and enjoy it instead of wishing you had a faster Z. I had a bolt-on Integra before and had as much fun driving it as I did working on it.
