Good way to get more torque

[crazy_canuck]

Yeah, but you'll notice a bigger benefit on a more powerful car.

Why do you need more tq than what you get from basic bolt ons? The RSX being a pretty light car you shouldn't need that much tq to get you going plus the mid to high end power of the RSX should take over pretty easily to where you shouldn't need the tq. I don't know how much tq the stock axles, differential and other things of that matter can take on a RSX and if you have too much then you are looking at needing new stuff.

If you want something for good low end power I would go with the S/C. This is coming from a VW VR6 driver who has plenty of tq to spare and a nice amount of hp with just bolt ons but

I myself have raced some Hondas/Acuras that have beat me by about half a car length b/c they caught up to me in the top end. I guess what I was trying to say with that comment was that if you have enough tq to get you going decently and you have a lot better hp then it doesn't really matter. I could be wrong.

[crazy_canuck]

Only talking from a straight-line perspective:

Depends on if you're racing from a roll or from a stop. Eg. A WRX will beat an RSX from a stop handily, an RSX will beat both an EVO and a WRX from a roll.

[Dr.Gonzo]

Hmmmm do they make eaton super chargers for the RSX b/c if it's a vortec you don't get that low end pull like GTP's and Mercedes get b/c they are eatons and the ones I've seen for most cars sold are Vortecs. I could be wrong though. The Vortecs make a gradual boost the farther up you go in the rpm band.

[crazy_canuck]

Yeah, the Jackson Racing SC and Comptech SC botgyh use an eaton blower, not a centifugal.

Some turbo cars get great low end torque, the VR4 gets all of its 315lb/ft at 2500. Whats the gearing like on the RSX? Whats the top theoretical speed?

[SwiftAddictions]

theoretiacal??? that opens a lot of doors. Theoretically I could put enough money into and make it go 300

[Thourun]

I mean what it's top gear and stock tires/wheels allow at redline, regardless of power.

[rsxballa]

wait.. you think and rsx would overcome an evo from a roll?

[crazy_canuck]

It can, given enough time and space the RSX will.

[Thourun]

so whats the top speed?

[SwiftAddictions]

hit the highway and find out.

[Thourun]

That dosent help me..

[SwiftAddictions]

so you want someone else to max out their sixth gear, then tell you?

[Thourun]

I figured you people would know since you drive them.
