wrx vs new civic si
ok so im sitting down reading import tuner while im in the bathroom and i see something interesting.
according to subaru the wrx has
227 hp
217 tq
according to the import tuner dyno its:
176 hp
193 tq
so then i look at the civic si wit the new k-series engine
according to honda it puts out
160 hp
132 tq
on the dyno
153 hp
131 tq
yes right now the wrx is killing the k-series with torque but only by 23 hp.now take a turbo kit throw it on the k-series from rev hard and they clocked the si on the dyno at
243 hp
198 tq @ 7psi
with the turbo kit (3g) and the si(19g) could i say the si is a better buy then the wrx(24g)?k-series beat the boxster?
and yea its was import tuner

So you have to spend like $4,000-$5,000 on a turbo kit and install, lose your warranty, just to likely lose to the wrx still in the 1/4 because your spinning your front tires all the way down the track? Then there's the fact that the wrx smashes the si in any other performance competition...
Better value? I think not.
