MX-3 2.5 KLZE vs Civic Hatchback GSR Turbo

[OctaneChicken]

What do you guys think bout this. My brother recently got his 94 Honda Civic Hatchback done up with a Honda GSR Engine, Turbo, Intake, Intercooler, exhaust, ect... He got a dyno plot of it and it's about 285HP at the wheels (I don't remember the torque or RPM it was at). I just brought my MX-3 to the Shop (A-SPEC) today to get the KL-ZE swap, Cold Air Intake, Racing Clutch, Exhaust,and Short Shifter done. Who's going to reign superior, Me or my brother <P>I feel lost without my car right now but they said i'll have it back sometime next week (I hope so).

Well the kl-ze is 200 at the crank and with all those mods you'll be dding more but 285 at the wheels will be pretty tuf to beet. I think the hatch back has and advantage.<P>I'll be doing my swap there as well, how much is all of that costing you ? I'm getting all those mods done as well. if you don't mind sharing the price tag...

[OctaneChicken]

$5350 This includes taxes. I guess this isn't too bad.

[Max]

nice... thats what i was kinda of expecting !<P>How long is your car going to be in there shop ? the thing is i have to drive up there from ottawa..

[OctaneChicken]

Well i brought it in Yesterday at lunch and they said the earliest is sometime late next week (Thurs or Fri)

all include it cost me 3000$CDN with the clutch to put a ZE in my GS....motor include !

[Max]

did you do it yourself ? or by a shop ?

[I_love_my_MX-3]

The Hatch would win...more power and less weight. If you Turbo that ZE I think you could kick his a-- tho.

[SmokyMcGee]

phew... i thought i was the only one pushing 5 grand for the swap

[Max]

yeah... but were pushing 5000 $ canadian... witch is alot less... the in US dollars.

[OctaneChicken]

Yeah i thought it was a pretty damn good deal. The guy there said that all the engines he gets are under 60000 KM.

[white fish]

that civic has to 1/4 mile in like 10 or 11

[Bri94GS]

yea...a n/a ZE wont hit 285 fwhp with just an intake and exhaust. Clutches and shortshifters dont add horsepower either.

[93mxrgs]

no way that civic would go even into the 11's... i;d say mid 12's.. with traction..
