I drove the 1.7 Acura during test drives last week. What a POS that was.

Originally posted by SILENT_RUNNER I found it to be inferior to the Civic, which I just bought.
Actually it is a Honda and an upscale one. It is like a Acura Tl and the Honda Accord comparrison.
If you are trying to say that my two Acura Integras are POS. My Acuras are distinctly superior to your Civic in finish, style and looks. The ride is wishbone because it is a Honda. The Acura is lower and sleeker than the civic there, better in CROSSWINDS.

You`re a PIP, ED a real PIP........
I don't know what a "PIP" is, but I'll take it as a compliment.
I do agree that YOUR Acuras are superior to the Civic, but they are not what I was talking about. The new 1.7 is not. I drove both within two days and the ride, quality, handling and quiet goes to the Civic, hands down.
Cheers...

Originally posted by scottlny Well considering our car is only rated 240 at the crank, and the Z stock is 287. Yeah I am a little surprised. So basically with basic bolt-on mods, intake, exhaust, and pulley, we have more HP then the Z? Hmm.. And I thought that the Z's intake and exhaust was not restrictive at all so I doubt a bolt on would help it as much as it helps our alty. I'm sure they'll still pull better numbers at the track, with their RWD, and LSD. but can't complain for a 4 door sports sedan
I think they will pull better with RWD also but I never looked at the fact that , yes they are less restrictive. When the Alty is moded it really shows. Thanx Scott, I can see clearly now, the fog is lifting

I think it has a lot to do with the way these engines handle the extra torque produced by the mod. A couple of guys with NOS (spray90) setups raised the torque figures way up there.

Originally posted by ALTYHOLIC Yes, that is the dyno for the AEM CAI.
I'm talking about seeing a side by side dyno
comparison between the Injen and AEM units.
Maybe that's something NPM can do in the future?
Since this you now have your injen installed, when you get a chance, I`d be interested in the dyno results

Yeah, wish I had a scanner so I could post the dyno graph Injen
attaches to their directions for the CAI. Very impressive!
Btw...I know it's OT but me and a T/A got into it last night
coming home from work on the hwy. 4th gear @ about 105
and still pulling strong before I backed off cuz of traffic.
What a rush...the CAI and cat-back make a sound that's
undescribeable past 4k rpm.

Damn that would sound good! Traffic is always the problem it seems, plus you couldn`t have had your Lady with you..

If it weren't for warantee issues, I'd be all over this CAI thingy, but I'm too chicken.
