Need Help, Rice Burners killin me

[96TalonEsi]

I got a 96 Talon Esi..included with pilot motorspotrs: Front Strut Bar
Air Intake
and Muffler...

I keep getting dismembered by those damn V-Tec integras and the Hondas. Any help would be appreciated. Need to gain speed in accel. Takes to long to get out of gear.

Got 2 words for you: nitrous oxide. Running a small shot say around 55 should be safe on your car and should be enough to take out those pesky riceboys.

He is basically right, NOS is a huge help to ya. Otherwise sounds like you can do more with that exhaust. Headers, and real cat-back.

Your best option is to sell your car and buy the turbo version.

Good luck

If you got the cash, you could bolt on a HRC turbo kit for like $3K. There's a guy around here that has one on his 95 GS. He runs two fuel pumps that come with the kit. He's pretty quick and has no problem spanking the V-Techs. Unfortunately it's not enough to beat me and my 96Tsi 16G! Personally, if it was me and I was serious about speed I would be patient and look into swapping to a turbo model. Beware of 2G's with crankwalk though.

Since a turbo kit is kind of expensive, and if you want to keep your car, defiantley go with NOS. For around $1000, you can kick VTEC ass.

1. Nitrous kit- $500-$600
2. Header- $200-$300
3. Cat-Back- $300-$400

Good Luck
