RSX non-type S

[s14kouki16]

Hello everyone, I have an acura rsx non-type S and I can't find any turbocharges for it, does anyone know if any company carries them? All the turbo kits i look at are for the type S. If anyone can tell me plz do so.

it will be hard to find it becouse the base rsx was designed for econmical purpose not for performence the type-s was design for performence

so it will be hard even find one


sorry about the spelling

psst....swap the motor!

[s14kouki16]

yeah but who has the money to swap a motor man...i get like 6.75 an hour.........i've thought about it before but yeahh.............. hks has a manifold for the base model but no turbo which is kind of weird to me

You can get a custom made kit for sure. I really think you should save up for a swap. I believe the rsx type s goes for 3500. Who knows, you might find one cheaper.

k24 block + k20 type-r head + turbo = teh win

[mellowboy]

Not a bad idea

[SiGNAL748]

it can't be an element or crv block though, it has to be the tsx block. Theres a list of reasons why, and i'm sure that most of them you'll find obvious. I'll try to find the list if you guys want.

Yeh i know what you mean. My boy found the accord shortblock for 500 in a boneyard! He was thinkin about do'n that set up on his type s. I dunno why he didn't grab it. He said something about the rod/ratio. He told me to do a research for him but i got lazy. Give me some info on that set up. I'm still new to this k-series stuff. Pros and cons would help also

Thanks alot

[Sir_2003]

Ya but theres alot of compagnie that does turbo for rsx non type s there greddy, rev hard, skunk 2 ...... so take a look on the web or on EBAY I saw alot on ebay brand new around 3000$ US but the best thing his to get a costum turbo kit. yOU COULD SEND BOOST UP TO 8 PSI with stock internal parts. if you wanna go stronger,, get a rsx type 2 crankshaft and JE pistons and your good to 17 PSI.

if you need moore info about K SERIES ENGINES send me some PM I know alot of K-SERIES

Sir_2003 - Are you from 604, 416/905 or elsewhere?

Oh, and remember, if you have a sportshift RSX, you'll need to get a Level 10 tranny (search google for it).
