Here are some more information for Acura Turbo Gsr:

The Megan racing header is a steel header that is made with T-304 grade stainless steel. Each Megan racing header offers Mandrel tool bent tubing and flanges from a CNC machine. All Megan racing header parts are tested to ensure fit and performance meet all standard goals, and each Megan racing header comes with a one year warranty. All Megan racing header is a replacement for any factory header on a vehicle. All Megan racing headers with the exception of the Acura Integra GSR all come with the outlet that bolts right up to the vehicle's factory exhaust pipes. The Megan racing header for the Acura listed above offers a two and a half inch JDM outlet for power. All other Megan racing header parts will bolt directly on, and none come with the exhaust manifold gasket. This is a recommended replacement when bolting on the new header.

These headers are available for the Dodge Neon for years of 1995 to 1999 with the DOHC trim. This is a 4 to 1 design that gives high power and a two and a half inch outlet that can be found for about $150 each. The Honda Civic is fitted for years of 2001 to 2004 with the EX trim and can be found for about $150. The Honda Accord is supported from years 1990 to 1993 and are available for $170. The one and only Infiniti model supported is the G35 from years 2002 to present. This model offers a 2.25 inch outlet with power gained due to the air flow being increased and can be found for about $330. The next most popular model of vehicle for this system is the Mitsubishi Eclipse for the years of 1995 to 1999, all non-turbo models. These will fit a 2.0 liter engine or a 420 A motor as well as an Eagle Talon. This model comes in two pieces with a 2.25 inch outlet and is a direct bolt on.

The Weapon R race header comes in a 4-2-1 configuration. The Weapon R race header offers long tubes design for the highest RPM flow, and stepped tubing for larger torque gains. The Weapon R race header is suggested for all racing vehicles, but is best for those that have high lift cams or high RPM rev bands. A two and a half inch collector for the high exhaust flow and the fact that this eliminates the need for the CAT makes it not legal in all 50 states. The Weapon R race header was made with years of research and development put into it including on the dynapack dyno. The Weapon R race header is only suggested for off road use as it is not legal on United States roads at this time, and the check engine light eliminator is recommended when using these headers. The Weapon R race header is available for only the B series of the Integra and is found for around $500, making it the most requested of all Weapon R race headers.

The Sport Compact Craze

I remember back in the early 1990's, it seemed that every lad under the age of 21 lusted after owning a sporty little Honda or Acura. Having the barebones "stock" car wasn't really enough, as the novelty of owning the basic car wears off pretty quick. We'd then pinch and save, to spend our hard earned cash on aftermarket goodies. Many of us were going through school, and couldn't afford much, but to modify them with supposed go fast parts, and "aesthetic" items were all the rage.

That was a long time ago to me now, and while modifying cars will never go away, as long as we are still using the internal combustion engine and have 4 wheels. Many of us still care about appearance and performance of our rides, but a lot of the "ricer" look has died down. While I won't go into what "ricer' technically means, I will say it carried a bad connotation, and few of us realized it then.

Modifying and "dressing up" sport compact Honda's and Acura, wasn't limited to only these Japanese imports, however. While they are held responsible for birthing this "ricer" stigma, it wasn't long before we saw Cavaliers, Sunfires, Sunbirds and Neon's rolling around with racing stickers and big wings on the trunk lids. Volkswagons were always a part of the sport compact craze and the GTI was perhaps the original "hot hatch," but the 'Dubbers liked to keep their distance and maintain a more dignified and refined look.

Typically a "riced" out Honda would have a body kit, which could include obnoxious, busy looking bumper covers, or replacement bumpers, rocker panel covers, replacement hoods and fender with aggressive flairs, and of course the quintessential oversized high wing on the trunk, to complete the shopping cart look. Lowering the vehicle was essential, to compliment the plus sized performance rims, which would be wrapped in low profile wide sticky tires.

Racing stickers were a staple add on, and we later joked that each sticker was worth X amount of extra horsepower. Typically the stickers (steal me stickers) were to proudly advertise which manufacturers parts were installed on the vehicle. Sometime, however, the stickers were used to make up for the lack of modifications on the car, I'm afraid I was guilty of that at the time. Lets not forget the sound systems, how often have we heard a driver's music half a minute before we even see his car go by?

Last, but not least, the staple "modification" on all riced out sport compacts was the fart can muffler. "Loud but proud" should have been the motto, as they did little to add performance to those tiny engines, all by themselves. All they really added was noise pollution as they sounded like a bucket full of angry hornets. To this day, they are still used, though I believe regulations are finally cracking down on these racket makers. On top of mufflers, we had intakes, bored out throttle bodies, ignitions, port work, headers, the list goes on. If you actually added up the horsepower increase claims from each manufacture, you could nearly double your factory rating. These claims we mostly puffed up advertising and lies.

It wasn't all bad though, and even now, tastefully modified sport compacts can still be found. A slight suspension drop with lowering springs or coilovers, slightly larger diameter wheels than stock, with matching performance tires. No body kits or aftermarket wings, but some JDM market goodies for Japanese imports always seem to look good. A larger piping exhaust, to complement any engine breathing modifications is still needed and welcome, providing the muffler is baffled, or at least chambered. Add to that, a tasteful classy colored paint job, or leave it original, and what we have is a slightly dressed up vehicle that does the brand justice.

Its not always about show though, legitimate go fast goodies were all the rage and will still be for a long time, for anyone who can afford it. Turbochargers, nitrous oxide, large lobed camshafts and port work, entire engine performance rebuilds and engine swaps.

Myself, being into Honda civics and Acura Integras, I was blessed to have the opportunity to satisfy my needs the plethora of direct "bolt in" engine swaps being available. Perfectly good engines were being shipped over from Japan by the boatload (and still are), and I performed more than a few of these swaps. Fortunately I didn't have the money to blow on ugly body kits and chrome rims and turbocharger back in the '90s. When I finally had the money, I had a more mature outlook and I developed a sense of wanting to keep things refined and simple. My favourite swap, which I swill own today, was a JDM Integra GSR engine swapped in to a '94 civic cx hatch. Bolt in low 14 second quarter mile swap, right there. While it was impressive as a mustang beater way back, it's nothing to brag about now as factory Neon turbo cars and Cobalt turbos can match that, and they're everywhere.

Fortunately the ricer phase seems to be dying off. Maybe partly because young people don't have as much money to throw around after paying their smart phone bill, but I think it's more than that. Cheap simple cars are gone, forever it seems. You can't just simply pop a new chip into your car anymore, modifying has become harder and more expensive. Most of the sport compact cars from the '90s era seem to be on their last leg and are rusting out. That's the image I see when I "hear" a rice rocket car from a bygone era go by. Mismatched body kit colors, fart can, cheap wheels, rusty quarter panels, faded paint. This is not to say that nobody will try to rice out a new model car, but I'm just not seeing it anymore. Where are all the stickers and the blacked out tail lights? Are we maturing? I hope so.

Which car would win in a race???

2006 acura TL or a 2000 BMW 540i??? Dont know of that stats but whats your opinion???

Also, a 2004 Sabb 9-3 2.0 turbo or a Acura Integra GSR???
Please this isnt a question for 16 year olds in a coupe cavalier thinking their car will beat a ferrari!

As usual, C7S is completely wrong. One wonders how active his imagination must be. But then, he also thinks a 350z is better than a Skyline....what a simpleton.

Anyway:

The Bmw 540 has a stock 1/4 mile of between 14.0 and 14.3.

The Acura TL has a stock 1/4 mile of 14.4+

As long as the drivers put their car to the road properly, the BMW wins.

The Saab will also beat the Acura, if just barely. Again, assuming both vehicles are stock.

And you're right, this isn't a kid in a Cavalier racing a ferrari. It's more like a cavalier vs a cavalier. All the cars listed are not that quick at all.

2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP comp G from North America - Comments
"A flying lemon.." What things have gone wrong with the car? It ran good for 6 months, but then the cross member, a speed sensor, and it had a recall for the electronic throttle system.
