those aren't bad..i'd throw a supercharger on that sucker :wave: but i am not really Vette type of guy..they are cool but kinda boring and only balding middleaged dudes drive them aroundMetalFortress said:Rough estimate, smarty. I don't sit around researching how to get an Acura RSX up to 360 horsepower without blowing out the engine after 2 runs. Point is, I could save the money I'd otherwise spend on an RSX and mods, and buy a real car, like a late 90s Vette.
Personaly, i would'nt embark on turbocharging an RSX,let alone a Type S..i mean you could,but to get real HP out of them you have to change out the internals,drop the compression- basicly rework the entire engine ,which is a waste if you ask me,it was meant to rev high in the first place being all motor and it being that high.But with a turbo that thing can be really really really nasty up top and maybe with a different head.That's why i was suprised when i saw that car..you don't see too many turboed RSXs around and if you do ,they have little intercoolers- but that thing was huge,must be running like 20+ lbs. of boost,roughly 350ish WHP- being only 2800 something pounds and an 8K redline..watch out.It's just different and you don't see them around much,but when you do- if you know what it is and the process it takes to actually build the thing correctly..you learn to appretiate it. revs like a motorcycle and the power comes in quick with the turbo.It is the expensive route no doubt, but if you're into it- who's to say where you put the money?
it's still a sick ride IMO :rockon:
