Getting a MS3 soon...

[wette460]

Glad to hear you are finally crossing over into the dark side that is MSF. Once you get some mods on you will actually be racing REAL cars instead of the shit POS cars you raced with the vtaaaak.

[I_Heart_Haters]

Haha dont go from a speed3 to a civic, are you nuts!?

[I_Heart_Haters]

Sent from my Droid

[I_Heart_Haters]

Haha, I did my research using the SEARCH button, but couldnt find anything. Thanks for being NICE

[JS + MS3]

you fail at searching

you fail at installing a sri

[robry]

lol definitely search harder

[shaftyella]

Just like @aaronc7 said, but I would add Sure to his list as well. It's all a matter of personal preference.

Check out the thread below.

Yes. That is for display.

PM jp@edgeautosport.com . He may have some in stock.

Civic Si < Speed 3, so you are making a wise choice, AP and RMM should always be first.

[I_Heart_Haters]

Most definitely agree ^ lol the Si was a fail at giving power, i was fully bolted and tuned using flashpro ($700!!!!! ) and only made 216whp 156 tq <-----no tq lol

[adlpb]

But you haz VTAAKKKK

That's funny. I put the exact same numbers down with my 8th gen when I had it. And fuck flashpro, can't even monitor vtec-o-meter and blinker fluid.

^fail at picture post.

[adlpb]

ZOMG!

Fail at not seeing the big quote right above a post. You're failing all over these forums buddy. Asking too many questions that have been answered already.

[I_Heart_Haters]

Yeah yeah i know, ive been told, but enough bashing, damn! lol ive learned a lot over the past day by looking and reading up on upgrading the fuel pump because when you add mods, the fuel pump isnt strong enough. my bad for being a FAIL...but again, im just trying to do everything right because its my first turbo car.

[Speed3eak]

I know the group buy isn't going on anymore for their DP, but I would still go with the CNT racing downpipe from ERZ performance - it's what, $350 now? You still get a cast bellmouth and it's 3" all the way back.

Since you donated, you have access to the for sale/trade forums, so here's what I would do:

- Buy a used SRI ( < $200 shipped usually)
- Buy KMD internals ( ~$330)
- Cobb AP (~$550-ish unless you can find one used)
- CNT Racing DP ($360 + shipping)
- JBR RMM ($90-$120)

That should put you within spitting distance of 300 whp (maybe a little over 300 with a good tune) and well over 300 wtq, which is a handful in a fwd car, but a hell of a lot of fun when you get used to it.

[JS + MS3]

my ms3 was my first turbo car as well

but i don't think i asked that many newbie questions when i was a total noob like you

read more just read read read

there's just so much things to read on this forum. i love it

Haha like i said, i failed. No more noob questions, and yes theres tons of shit on here

[9900rpm]

Have you ever driven a boosted K series Civic? They will make upwards of 500whp on stock motor. Shit moves like a bat out of hell.

FYHN

[I_Heart_Haters]

I know many people who have boosted k's but i wasnt gunna drop 9k into kit/install/tune and have no torque so thats why im coming here to the speed3s!

Seems a bit high for a boosted k-series.Also a turbo charged civic does have torque--those things are pretty intense boosted.

[I_Heart_Haters]

well yes they have tq but not as much as i would want for paying 9k...also ajp turbo kit on stock k20 block produces 520whp ish...

No foh his comment, yo!

[Speed3eak]

Also, I forgot to mention - I'm not making anywhere near 300 on the stock turbo (hopefully soon when I can get my DP installed, then it's on to the wmi setup/relocating the battery), but I'm making probably 260-ish whp right now and the way the k04 makes its power is so much fun - almost 0 turbo lag and just gobs and gobs of torque down low.

With those k-series turbo motors, the 500 whp is all at the top of the rev range, and I'd be willing to bet that the peak torque numbers are actually pretty close to those of a fully bolted k04 ms3 (mid-300's) - with the gearing and a 1k+ higher redline they're definitely faster than the ms3 on a track, but I think in the real world, the ms3's power is more easily accessible. For that reason, in my mind at least, it's more fun to drive even though it's a lot slower than a k-series engine with a turbo.

[robry]

my turbo RSX-S made 289wtq @ like 6500rpm on a log manifold with a big sc6162 turbo

I much prefer the small k04 for daily driving in comparison to the lag on the RSX, it was glorious when it came into power though. biggest worry about the rsx/civic is their transmissions are not made for that much torque/power at all. which is why I got rid of mine

eventually I'd like to do all of the above mods and just drive the car and enjoy it, that sounds awesome.

[I_Heart_Haters]

what sucks is i have all these car people telling me "go with an evo and not fail-wheel drive" and "dont get the mazda, itll blow up on you" ...

[adlpb]

It won't blow up on you if you keep it stock. And if you don't, change your FP/internals. You'll be fine.

An Evo will cost you at least 10K more than a MS3. With 5K worth of mods you can make the MS3 equal or better than the Evo.

But after all it's up to you and what you can afford.

[327whp]

The only thing the MS3 lacks compared to an EVO is the AWD. You can make similar power with them, and the ride and features are much better in the MS3. You get a FP and you can get tons of HP out of these cars but being able to put that power to the ground with the FWD is where the MS3 falls behind (but is probably more fun trying)

[I_Heart_Haters]

yeah i already read up on the fp issues. i already have plans on that as one of my first mods. im really content with the speed3 and love everything about it. as one of the guys said on here "the smile is growing on me but im in my car 90% of the time, and the other times, the haters are seeing my tail lights" lol i agree, i love the smile. thanks for all the useful information.

[I_Heart_Haters]

need...speed3....NOW
