rsx turbo?

[4dooronthefloor]

ok im thinking about buying this rsx cause its a real good deal but ive been wondering cause i havent found many parts for a base rsx, but i know it has the same motor as the civic si my question is if any one knows weather or not a civic si turbo kit will fit in the engine bay of the rsx or has sucssefully buit a turbo base rsx and has any tips for me?

(i work and go to school all the time so im not on my computer much and im not computer savy so if your resonding just tell me there a post about this and you want me to spend all night looking for it save your breath)

ok which rsx u talking about and im not sure will it fit evn tho the motors go the same way and i think u better goin off all motor if u get either rsx or rsx type-s

it is a base model 03 rsx
why do say that have you seen kseries all motor cars puttin down lots of power??

 

[B16A2_CIVIC]

yea u can pull alot out wit an all motor car plus u get props for beating a turbo car like my boy he has a bubble gsr all motor vs a si turbo coupe he shitted on hmm twice in one night then iin the third race the si lost again and wen he got back we saw smoke coming out of his car we look at it and notice his turbo was blown so that wen we notice he put up the boost and blown his turbo and he left home and we didnt here the turbo spool up or the bov do it pshh noise so yea

yeah turbo just seemed like ez power i want at least 250hp to the wheels
well let me change the topic then to base model rsx mods that make big power
im just tryin to weigh the pros and cons if the car dosent have alot of potential then i dont know if i want it

 

[B16A2_CIVIC]

the base model only has a 160hp if u get the type-s u get 200 hp so the only thing u have to do is go all motor to reach ur goal

 

[Ravage70]

get a type s head and a nice t3/t4 and ur already at the 350 mark

 

[B16A2_CIVIC]

yea but i dont think he wants to spend money on a base model and then spen money on a type s head than go turbo he better off goin all motor wit a type s

 

[Ravage70]

all motor is overpriced and overrated

 

[4dooronthefloor]

yeah but how much willa new head, turbo, manifold, injectors ect cost the car is zero down so what ever i get for my car minus 2 grand(money owed) for parts
+ will the bottom end hold up for long uder that much stress??

 

[4dooronthefloor]

i cant afford the type s i just found a good deal on the base model which will only make lik200hp all motor right? plus i dont know anything about all motor besides you dont run a ecu

 

[B16A2_CIVIC]

cuz wat i plannig to do is go all motor wit the type s type s stock is 200 hp ima jus throw a new intake mani cai unorthodox pulleys cam gears camshaft fuel chip the ecu get the venom 400 module alot of shyt cuz i dont care i have 50,000 to spend on it so i dont care u have less problems wit all motor then wit turbo but it not our car he talkin about he talkin about his base model rsx that only has 160 hp so if he want to go turbo it up to him he jus askin for advice

if you got 50000 just build two and send me one!

the base model rsx is a better setup for boost. the type-s is better for an all motor setup. reasons behind my thinking...It has a lot lower compression ratio at 9.8 and also is geared taller. With the lower compression ratio it would probably be able to run 9-11 lbs of boost without rebuilding the block. The only problem may be the ECU but this won't be evident unitl later. If you just plan on putting bolt ons such as Intake, Exhaust, Pulleys and a header (if ever developed) then the Type S is going to be a better candidate. Times in the low 14's or maybe high 13's should be capable if tuned correctly. Just my thoughts.
