According to the TSX guys a Prelude and TSX is dead even. Has anyone with a 3.0 ran a TSX?

i ran my cousins 04 tsx which has an injen intake and i beat him off the line and took him probably by 1 or 2 car lengths. he is an auto.

i have a cold air intake and an obx exhaust.

 

and i've beat my share of preludes also

 

I've taken a few 2nd gen H22 lude...but my friend 01 lude would pull out on me at 2nd but after 2 car lenght he stop pulling out. i think think my friend car is in way better shape that those other i've ran and at the time mine was over 130K miles while his is around 30K

 

i ran a 2000 prelude he had an intake, headers, exhaust, and a vfac and i still pulled on him he was a manual. i think it's just our high tourque that kills the preludes and tsx's

 

I'm sorry, i dont know what you guys are talking about, but my old fourth gen prelude was alot quicker than my 3.0 (See signature ... I miss her )

That thread is comparing the Type S H22a, the usdm fourth gen prelude or H22a1 had 190 hp, the fifth gen (h22a4) was 200 hp. The common jdm h22a swap is 200 hp, thats what was in my old prelude. sounds like a drivers race, but the prelude in my opinion is definately quicker.

 

so your telling me that i could take a stock tsx with 240 hp?? unless my car was just a faactory fuck up, i am almos certain i couldnt hang with a tsx

 

yeah i never ridden or run a TSX before...but i doubt our CL would take 'em at all.

 

Are there two different engine offerings for the TSX? just had a loaner 2006 tsx and it was slow as ballllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllllllllllllllls. must have been the unfun version.

 

A TSX has 205 not 240..It would be interesting to see a race between a Lude, TSX and 3.0 since technically all 3 have 200 horses

 

HAhahaha i have seen my friends 99 prelude smoke a 3.0 CL and a Accord V6 you guys are cackin out your asses hahahahahahaha

 

whats the car and driver 1/4 miles on the tsx and the 3.0 tl. The prelude is 15.1-15.2 depending on year (1993-2001) I cannot imagine the 3.0 being any quicker that 15.5-.6 stock.

 

Agreed

 

the tsx only has 200 hp and is heavy and very low tourque they are an easy beat for the 3.o

 

it all depend on the condition of each engine.

 

all these time i thought the TSX was packing something powerful under the hood.

 

Stock for all cars no one smokes anyone especially if the lude and tsx are auto and not manual.

 

AGREED!

 

is there a TSX Type-S?

 

no there is no type s

 

and it only has like 150-160 ft lbs. of tourque

 

which actually isn't bad for a 4 cylinder engine

 

If the TSX wasn't so heavy it would put down some impressive numbers like the engine does in a civic.

 

 

i dont know where the 240 hp came from, i always thought they had that. i always forget that they are 4cyl too. so why buy a tsx??

 

Prelude beats both,

3.0 cl is about dead even race (1/4 mile) with a stick TSX. In my experiance win is based on the driver of the TSX. Their reported times in car mags are not fast both 15.7-16.1 .

Newer TSX model will have a little more power though in 2008.

 

Luxury and handling. The interior on the TSX is just like the TL with bluetooth and all the other toys and the car handles great and isnt that bad looking either. I wouldnt pay 25K for it though but it does sell.

 

so you can turn it into a real Euro accord R. With a comptec S/c on it or some kind of turbo kit. I think that are awesome cars. I had a test drive in the 6 speed TSX. it was quick but it need to be faster.

 

The only reason I would buy the TSX...

My wife loves it and wants one very bad.
She'll just have to wait a little while longer.

 

Cmon guys who the fuk needs more than 200 hp? I got enough tickets with my 97hp Civic..

 

<~~needs more than 260 hp and Kobe isn't MVP because he is retarded.

 

 

auto TSX= turtle.. known fact.. ludes are acutally quick, my boy used to have a 98 auto lude and hade the same mods as me on my old cl-p i/h/e and it kept up.

 

maybe thinking of an s2k? dont they have 240 hp?

 

I understand its the 3.0 CL most are referring to, but I figured I may as well throw in a 2.x in for those of us who run with 4-bangers.

Just found this link for someone who had a 1st run on a strip, clocking in with their alleged times (but was not able to replicate on latter runs):

1/4 Mile ET: 15.620
1/4 Mile MPH: 92.489
1/8 Mile ET: 10.008
1/8 Mile MPH: 74.103
0-60 Foot ET: 2.311
Timeslip Scan:
Temperature F: 58.0
Car Make: Acura
Car Model: 2.3CL
Car Type: No trim. Fully loaded
Car Year: 1999
Driver: Jason Fischgrabe

 

Im guessing thats with a manual tranny?

Edit: link says

 

who cares a 7th gen Accord V6 6spd or 5at owns all

 

15.6 1/4 mile?? What kinda mods did this guy have? Our turtles stock pull 16.7 average according to some websites...

 

lol

 

i drive my ex's tsx all the time and ive raced against her from red lights many times and she cant ever keep up at first, not enough torque, i always burn out and jump ahead but then she passes me in a few seconds, me in a 2.3 auto her in an 05 TSX auto. tsx = teh slow start, like rsx non type-s. anyone heard of any tsx's with type-s k20 head? is that possible?
