b16a2 turbo vs wrx

[Mugen_B16B]

how fast would u guys reckon a b16a2 in a 94 vti eg with a turbo kit do? would it be able to beat stock wrx 01 models?

[EGB16A]

depends on turbo setup... but in short, my money would be on the civic

[barefootbonzai]

Been there done that. If the wrx is stock, you'll kill it. Plus my car was an EM1 which is much heavier than an EG. So no problems at all.

[Mugen_B16B]

how much boost where u running?? but u were running a drag turbo kit, what aout those t03 turbos how would they go ?

[saxman]

a car I set up in the uk(del sol vti... b16 engine, t3 60 trim turbo at 6 psi, etc) takes out wrx's all the time... as long as they aren't sti's

[SiR CRX]

Mate I have videos of turbo Civic's eating GTR's and Dodge Viper's. The yanks love the Turbonetics kits and they seem pretty good so I would check them out. Provided the engine was nice and strong you should be making good power but imo VTEC is best left n/a.

[tRipitaka]

what do stock wrx's make at the wheels ?

[bennjamin]

4wd turbo vs FWD turbo ?

We havent even begun to discuss mods , relative traction , driver ability etc etc etc.
Take it to the DRAGSTRIP and find out and THEN show us the piece of official paper to show who won.

Keep all on-street discussion out too :)

[Limbo]

i've seen a best motoring vid where the EG beat a Pulsar GTIR Turbo on the drag strip.
THat guy really knew how to launch. If you can luach like him the WRX is a goner

[siba]

dude 4WD turbo stock wrx would beat the civic off the line and perdominetly beat it overall, all these types of discusions depend on the drive ect. stock rex puts out around the 160kw atw mark and thats at all the wheels not just the front wheels like the civic, i rekon the rex would kick the rg civics ass

A stock rex puts around 90-100atws kw, not 160kw atw, thats at the fly.

[albii]

stock wrxs 88-92kw at all 4 wheels

[ProECU]

wrx's do about 135kw at the wheels.

Would be a very close race.

[garett]

i thought this got locked.......

anyway, a wrx has a gearbox like a ceramic toilet. not many launch too well.

[siba]

oh k woops i didnt read the kw properly, i always thought that a 4wd had the best launch???

[Mugen_B16B]

isnt this suppose to be about a eg turbo no n/a? all i wanted to no was how would they do, cause a friend of mine raced a b16a turbo in his rex [ boosted 10psi, bov ] and beat the civic? whats the go there?

[all_motor_baby]

well as far as i know, all the b16a turbo setups i've seen have spanked many cars from jap imports to our v6, v8 domestics, all depends on how far your willing to reach in to the pockets i guess :D .
Heres a site i found of all our yankie vtec lover counterparts racing wrx's, skylines etc etc www.streetfire.net just go to the video gallery.

Stock rexys boost pressure is about 13.5psi for the my98 AFAIK, not 10psi....
I would put my money on the rex given same factors to both cars.

can you post up some of the videos if u still have them ?? good to share it with others :cool: cheers ^^

[Mugen_B16B]

how do u save the clips on http://streetfire.net ???

[albii]

wrx's do about 135kw at the wheels.

dont think so

[all_motor_baby]

I've been trying to figure that out myself but really, dont know man lol :D .

[garett]

some sites you just cant download them.

[[[d a n n y]]]

if the rexy get's u on the start bye bye
if u get him on the start least u got a chance rexy's are shit in the top ends

[Vic]

Dont know the answer to this but reckon the b16a2 would sound heaps better! :D

[Sexc86]

stock wrxs are slow as shit, they are not made up to what they are, a lightly modified b16a (without a turbo) in a hatch would easily beat a lightly modified wrx running stock boost, EASILY
WRX = SHIT BOX SLOW + ShIT BOX GEAR BOX. And no way would a stock rex put out 160awkw if you think that you are well dreaming

[Sexc86]

i own a turbo 1.5 civic sedan with 2 15s in the boot running 8psi running around 105fwkw
and i have beatn many wrx's, they are not fast.

[barefootbonzai]

Don't you understand Sexc86, it doesn't matter what's real. It's all about what you read about on the internet, heard from a mates mates and numbers.

[Da1nONLY]

alright so maybe 160awkw is a bit too much. its about 160 something at the fly.
but WRX's aint slow...dont know what youve been driving..
who knows... i mean people who drive WRX's will probably see civics as a waste of time and fuel therefore would not try to race you. =)
thats fact..

[civicboy]

this thread is useless.......

[barefootbonzai]

yes, admin please lock it up.

[CONAN]

Closed :p

[Mugen_B16B]

aww no fun guys, i just wanted to no how turbo would go, ive seen ur car around b4 barefootbanzai, well b4 it was dead, sorri hey man but it was nice :)

[Lokmok1234]

doesn't matter to me both cars are great!

go race 1 with a slightly modified B16a
you'll get your ass raped
a lightly modded EK4 with
exhast/filter upgrade ran neck and neck to a Impreza RS 2.5L

do u own a B16a powered hatch?

[Mugen_B16B]

getting a eg soon after i sell my ek1

[Weq]

a rex, even slightly modded will get killed by any decently made b16a turbo. My d16 killed wrx's all the time. if they dont lauch, BY BY. if they do, its only BY. From a roll, my d16 beat my mates gen3, slaughtered many 5l's, 200xs, modded skylines etc etc. turbo honda's love rolls.

in the end i own a Subaru Liberty B4 and a turbo civic, so i have an unbiased pov. Civic wins, hands down.

stock wrx = 100kw atw and a weight of around 1410kg's VS a Civic at 1050kgs and 130kw+

STi isnt much different. my good mate has a 04 STi and i rekon the civic pulls harder from a roll. I gotta get a race with him someone under controlled condidtions. from a lauch, well its a different story. the civic with the power to kill a STI will need great suspension, tyres and driver to do it on the street.

I own one (b16a hatch), and i wouldn't come near a wrx. They are too fast. On the same note, try and find a stock wrx to race these days, even old ladies have exhuast and filter fitted! :D

[all_motor_baby]

nah i really dont think so lol, rex's are only good for the 4500-5000rpm dump koz thats the only trick they have in the bag lol but hey thats my opinion.

[albii]

stock rexs are very rapid 0-120 after that it all falls apart ..i have seen a pulsar sss sr20 keep up with a 00 rex on the highway..small turbo just doesnt have the top end happening...subaru figure that everyone spends their time in the 0-120kmh zone and that is where the wrx is at its best.......0-120 standing start the rex will win easy....40kmh roll start its anyone race....depending on the rex being in 2nd and off boost and by the time it got going the b16 would be screaming its **** off....on the highway i dont think the b16 would keep up after about 140kmh being a smaller capacity engine...the bigger the cubes the better the top end..

[Weq]

omg n00bs.
Alt-F4 now and do everyone a favour.

[bennjamin]

i locked this before and the Boss said to let it go.....but this isnt going anywhere.

Take it to the track or the strip , grab a readout of each car then post back here :)

otherwise dont post up such threads where its not fair to compare. :)
