but yeah, in a perfect world you wouldn't require any power to keep rolling on a flat surface.. oh, and throttle position is always relevant:P

Sorry if you experienced guys find this annoying, but I try to cater to the guys/gals that don't know everything about the RSX. Don't take what I said above the wrong way. I'm glad you and Delerious chimed in and gave some very useful info. on turbos / superchargers.

Re: Acura RSX Type S Supercharger Help!!!!
The irony of the situation is that the original poster most likely never figured out how to find the response to his post. Either that or he's lurking in the shadows, reading intently and biding his time...
In any event, at least he paved the way for some bi-partisan banter to break up the monotony.

Sure, it will always take more throttle to maintain speed as your speed increases...but this doesn't but more load on the engine. The engine's doing work, but it's not INCREASING the amount of work it is performing. The scientific definition of work is "The transfer of energy from one physical system to another, especially the transfer of energy to a body by the application of a force that moves the body in the direction of the force." --Dictionary.com In other words, work = moving something. Yes, the engine is making the car move when maintaining speed (actually it's KEEPING the car moving), but it's not making it move FASTER. THIS is what I mean by load. You're not asking anything of the engine. "The demand for services or performance made on a machine or system." --Dictionary.com You're not asking it to do anything more. Sure, there is a tiny bit of load on the engine to keep the car going, but very little because enertia isn't a factor. Sure, as drag increases, you would need more force to overcome it, but not more load. You would just be making the engine maintain a speed...not trying to get it to speed up. The load caused by you telling the engine to make the car accelerate is what increases the load enough to produce boost. D...maintain 110 down the freeway in 4th gear in the turbo (trust me, it'll do it) and see if there's any boost being made. I'll bet you there won't be much, if any registering.

Re: Acura RSX Type S Supercharger Help!!!!
lol...an RSX-S probably could beat a Z31 (84-89) turbo, stock for stock. Goes to show you how technology helps.
But I'm willing to bet the Z31T is easier to mod successfully. No fancy computers, V-tec or high compression to work around. Z31T could be put into the mid/low 5s to 60 for less than 700 bucks. Anyone have any success with V-tec controllers? Heard about them, but I've never heard anyone say anything about them. Worth while mod? V-tec is cool as hell!

You can download the kmanager software for the kpro to your computer if you want to see what you can modify - http://hondata.com/downloads.html. I played with it a bit on the PC and the interface seems very simple to use. Once my warranty runs out, I'll probably get this mod.

Re: Acura RSX Type S Supercharger Help!!!!
Good shit, man. I've always liked Hondas. I used to have an 01 Prelude and I LOVED it. V-tec is cool as hell...I don't care what anyone says...I think it is a very valuable tool and I wish there was something like it I could do to my Z31.
