gearing might come to play. I have the GS-R tranny bolted on. Gears are considerably longer but I thought it would help at freeway speeds. Anyways, I can't figure it out. The only thing I can think of is that it's running too rich. Because I notice now every morning, my engine doesn't rev up to 2000 rpm like it use to and slowly drop below the 1000 mark. And I can smell raw gasoline while it's warming up trailing it's way into the house while I'm brushing my teeth. Talk about carbon monoxide poisoning!!!!!!! But running too rich will only bog the engine at low speeds. At the high rpm I was running last night, I don't see any issue of rich mixtures coming to play.

if your wheel hop is really horrible maybe you should try getting traction bar or something, in the end wheelhop will kill your mounts as well as make ya slower.

Also, the engine has DIS were our engines are running the distributor. There could be some other factors not being recognized here also, like the mods on the itr engine.
coupe is about 50-75 pounds heavier than the hatch and the sedan is about 50 pounds heavier than the coupe....no 200-300 pound difference brotha :slap:

Well, it does displace more . . .

I think you need to have your car tuned bro.

true engine wise but the RSX-S weighs quite a bit more than a 95 coupe, I mean what are we talking here 5 hp. The weight more than makes up for that.

Actually I never touched the tranny, it still is the same setup. As for your question, it's an EX coupe. But it's totally strippped out. I have pics. Let me upload them.

I think you're right. Either that or buy an new computer. My friend gave me a theory that since I rolled the integra over, it probably damaged the computer bouncing around, so it might be just the brains making the engine run stupid.
