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...

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

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