Hi guys,

I am new to this forum, and I am getting used to how things are done here.
Not to long ago I was a member (still am on maxima.org), well now I am with Honda.

I have just sold my 1999 Maxima ES (Canadian version), and got a new 2003 RSX (as basic as you can possibly imagine), but 5-speed.

I need some consultation from some one who knows his stuff.
I decided to go for a turbo kit on RSX.
Here is how it goes:

-Cast Iron Manifold
- T3/T04E Turbo (eff. to 450hp)
- Intercooler 28" x 6.5" x 3"
- Turbo Smart 7psi. (TS-SEMA's Best)
- Vortech Blow Off Valve
- Rev Hard Fuel Controller
- Flash ECU Upgrade (raises rev limit)
- 4 Rev Hard 440cc Injectors
- 2.25" Aluminized Mandrel Bent Piping
- 2.5" Downpipe
- Sparco Boost Gauge
- HKS Turbo Timer or Turbonetics Boost Controller
- Silicone Hoses & Clamps
- Steel Braided -3 Oil Line
- All Necessary Hardware & Fittings

Also they give an option for Ball Bearing Upgrade, what do you think on that one?
So far I ma planning on keeping the same clutch, I do not think it will hurt my disc at 7 PSI, what do you think pros?
And I will shop for Magna Flow muffler.

Will this set up give me more then something noticeable in power compare to Subaru WRX stock considering it is heavier and by MUCH?

1) Go with the ceramic Ball Bearing..you will thank me later.
2) UPGRADE YOUR CLUTCH!! You need atleast a stage II. At 7psi and the compression ratio your motor has, it WILL bust your stock clutch.
3) If you know how to race...you should have no problems keeping up or beating a WRX (not the sti)
4) Everyone is going to kill me for saying this but...Turbonetics kits come with the ceramic ball bearing turbo. Dont get me wrong.. Revhard has a excellent kit for sure!! Just me 2 cents worth!

Good Luck!! And have fun!

Stephan, as I see you are into sales.
Maybe you can help me on the best price I can get for the following set up?
Type: Stage 2
- Rev Hard Cast Iron Manifold
- Rev Hard T3/T04E Turbo (eff. to 450hp)
- Rev Hard Intercooler 28" x 6.5" x 3"
- Turbo Smart 7psi. (TS-SEMA's Best)
- Vortech Blow Off Valve
- Rev Hard Fuel Controller
- Flash ECU Upgrade (raises rev limit)
- 4 Rev Hard 440cc Injectors
- 2.25" Aluminized Mandrel Bent Piping
- 2.5" Downpipe
- Sparco Boost Gauge
- HKS Turbo Timer or Turbonetics Boost Controller
- Silicone Hoses & Clamps
- Steel Braided -3 Oil Line
- All Necessary Hardware & Fittings
Preferably with ball bearing upgrade

The one I found is $4149 (with ball bearing turbo)
If you know better price I am down for it!!!


Than you once again!!!

P.S. Clutch, 340lbs, 6-pad solid hub design, I think it will do the job. If I am not mistaken this one is used for stage 3 boost. What do you think man?

sounds kinda pricey if u ask me. i didn't know the stage 2 fits rsx's, but oh well. if ur want a deal i know a guy who is selling new stage 2s for a little bit under 3000, again though to be honest im not sure if it will fit correctly since i don't see the rsx under the stage 2.

if it is the one in the middle then that should be the right kit, but still im not certain if they make if for the regular rsx. they have the stage 2002 s1 which is specifically for the type-s and civic si. i wrote him an e-mail, so i should let u know tommorrow night.

revhard doesn't make injectors, they are made by precision. I would go ball bearing too. I just bought a gt t3/t4 drop in, with dual ball bearing. I got the gt28rs. I already had revhard downpipe and manifold, turbosmart wastegate etc.

I sell only Turbonetics kits. They come with ballbearing turbo's and a fmic and fuel/timing upgrades. They are FMAX kits but Turbonetics bought them out. Check my cig, if you need a full description i can email you the specifics. Anything over $3,300.00 for a 4cyl turbo kit is rediculous....dont buy it.

Thank you man, it is nice to know that people have the same interests.
To bad most of my friends live in Canada. Montreal, otherwise it would have been cool to get as many people form the forum and show-off our cars.

Ok bro later!

Can you take a pic of all the components that you are selling and write each one down?
Just to make sure that I am getting what I know I am getting.
Does your kit have ball bearings upgrade?
Is the kit new?

Where are you located?

Thank you man!
