h22a vs wrx

[coladuna]

i'll ask the question again- how many peeps have driven an accord with a JDM h22a engine conversion?

this is a ghetto video of my speedo doin the ton. watch carefully and you will see that i dont take off until about a second into the clip and when it hits 100 the elapsed time of the vid is in the 6 second vicinity.

I don't see how a Accord with H22A engine will be that fast.
I haven't driven one, but I have owned a JDM Prelude Si VTEC and WRX feels a lot faster. Prelude is actually lighter than CD Accord by about 30kg.
Not sure how you claim the same engine will be so much faster in an Accord shell.

is this stupid thread still going?
If I had the time or could actually be bothered, I would love to prove to dillusional drivers that no stock honda can beat a wrx in a straight line drag race. If someone you know did beat a wrx in a honda, the driver in wrx would have been a crap driver.

I have driven a number of Honda cars before switching to a WRX, so I think I have a better idea of what's faster compared to the people who says "my friend beat a wrx off the line" crap

nsx is a stock honda

get over it ppl,
wrx= bred performance car with potential
accord= luxurious medium size car with moderate power to get u moving.

well if people keep street racing out of this I don't have a problem with it..

Rexys are excellent performance cars for the price. The only thing I don't like about them is the basic, low rent interior, "not so attractive" exterior and insurance costs. Otherwise I probably would've bought one instead of the Euro.

lol it wasnt even for street racing
just exactly the same as this

i rekon it should be closed. These "VS" style threads have too many variables are and stupid. Like i have said a trillion times take it to the track and find out for urself and tell us how u went.

i have witnessed h22a accords car running a boosted civic that would beat rexies convinsingly...
and his was neck and neck with the civic...
i have the video somewhere on this forum to prove the point...

my point is that too much of this thread is based on hear-say. I dont know why a JDM h22a in an accord goes so well but i am making this claim because i own one.

The reason why a rex feels faster is that they pull almost 1g during acceleration due to the initial boost of the turbo but thats about it.

[Omotesando]

I agree. The Rex feels fast but honestly isn't that fast.
Even a slightly modified one doesn't pull 1G in 1st gear, its more like around 0.6X G to 0.7XG. But if you do an AWD launch it'll pull 1G for a fraction of a section... probably for like 0.2 of a second LOL.

Its all about the power delivery band - which is sudden mid-range boost from nothing. It makes one think its really fast, when in reality - its just fast. A mid 13 high 14s car.

[sodaz]

Nah a stock WRX doesn't do the quarter in 13s. It does it in 14s. Only the Stis and Evos do 13s.
