Yeh S14 are faster, but damn those things must be the ugliest model, unlike R32's, what they lose in speed they make up for in looks. They have a nice speed - looks ratio so they win overall.. for example a S1 R33 gts-t would lose in a 1/4 as well, but they're fugly and weigh more than a truck, they have a bad speed - looks ratio. Same with all magna's camry's and other cars that are identical to S1 R33's.

Basically the R32 wins overall so u still win assuming u were voting against the s14

Well based on this:

and this:

Both r32gts and s14 run 15second 1/4 mile.

BUT keep in mind these are like cars out of factory in good condition.. over so many years compression drops blah blah blah..

i'll take a r32 over s14 for looks BUT S14a (series2) > r32 any day of the week.

my 2cents

i drove my mates s14 series 2 turbo stock nothing done to it and to put it simply it was the slowest sports car that i had ever driven, my golf mk4 gti is faster

but stock they are both slow the s14 and the r32

    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
