Default Whose Got Those Turbos for an RSX?

Who is making complete turbo kits for the RSX? The type S has a soaring high 11:1 compression ratio, but I'm thinking my base model might be a good candidate for boost with a lower ratio.
I wonder if a supercharger would ever be able to squeeze into that engine compartment?

Im kind of against a turbo or charger on a Honda motor. Don't you see that your defeating the purpose of Honda? All motor power. When your at the track and you see an all motor car smoke the hell out of a V8 it brings more satisfaction as opposed to saying that it's turbocharged or that your that your squeezing. If you like turbo, then buy a turbocharged car; they're built for it. Don't get me wrong though I love the feeling of forced induction but my messege is that honda's should remain N/A. Where else can you find 9000 rpms out of an inline 4? Think about it this way Bro, the turbo kit will probably cost you about what $3000?-(and that's a cheap estimate) then installation another grand? Your better off buying a JDM Type R motor for about $5000 and you'll be in the 13's no problem, and that's on a stock motor! Think of the dependability and possiblites with the motor, Not to mention you'll probably be the only one in town with a Type R. Anyways that's my 2 cents everyone has their own opinion.

Offtopic. This didn't help the thread starters question. Your opinion is not wrong but it is simply that: your opinion Many will disagree many will not. And lots of people have respect for both NA and FI. And yes a 300hp NA car will be quicker than a 300hp FI car but to each his own.

Also..."Where else can you find 9000 rpms out of an inline 4?"



A motorcycle :fawk:
