OK....I have had this S14 SR for two days...I have been very good about not running it to hard, trying to get past that first 500 miles...However...Thats when this little '04 Si Hatch rolled up thinking he was hard...

So we are on the freeway, and without even downshifting...I smoked him...more like toy'd with him...The power comes on sooo smooth...he just could not keep up...it was fun...all without even taking the car past 5.5k rpm's!

The little Si that could...just could not....I feel like a bully, picking on little Hondas...hahaha!

If the motor has not been rebuilt recently, you do not need to go easy on it for the first 500 miles. Its already broken in.

A turbo 240 will definately keep up with a turbo Lude with the right parts.

And it should be able to keep up since the 240 does have torque.

Those damned stis are wicked. A friend of mine kept up with one until they hit 120. But thats an s14 with an sr20 and hell of a lot of work running quite a bit of boost. No traction until 3rd gear.
