12 second Acura RSX?
A friend of mine has decided to buy a RSX type S and he wants to make a reliable street racer. He wants to turbo th car but he doesn't know what to do to make the car run these kind of ET's. Price is basically unlimited because he's a rich boy
 so any and all ideas are welcome.

heres the truth and i am not being an anti honda biggot. the type s engine is already pushed to its limit from the factory. without serious work you wouldnt want to bother putting a turbp onto it. it can not handle much boost. try to convince him to get a diff car. if you did make it a racer it would never be streetable. just how it is. at least from what i have heard. sorry to sound like im pseaking fact. if i am wrong tell me but dont flame me. i only know a bit about honda compared to what i know of european american nissan and mitsu and toyota

Hmm if the RSX-Type S is as 'high strung' GTI_VR6_A3 says it is... Here's how I see it... A fully loaded RSX Type-S is near $27,000.... I say if he's a rich boy and wants to run 12's... might as well go pick up a Mustang SVT Cobra... they can run 12's stock... Its only like $33,000 or so... (I've seen them as much as $38,000 at a local dealer... markup can be huge so you've got to shop around.) But does it matter really what the final sticker price really is? Its all payed for in monthly payments so it doesnt make much difference... by maybe $40-$100 a month. Unless he's a REAL rich boy and just buys the car outright with ca$h... then it doesn't matter. Just my $.02

I agree with Redneck but insted of a SVT Cobra I would rather get a S2000 and supercharge it =)

He is the oppitomy of rich boy and thats why he wants a fast RSX. He has a strong anti domestic mind frame and he cares about looks and luxury as much as the speed. The only reason he doesn't get a S2000 is because we live in canada and that would be hell in the winter.

I say ignore these skeptics and go for it
 . With enough money anything can happen. So buy the RSX, throw the turbo on it, and run 12s. Then you can tell us all how you did it, how much it costs, and rather or not it was worth it. You can be like the test subject

As to the motor's capabilities as far as boosting goes, I am not too familiar with that subject yet, but I am sure with enough money, anything is possible.

 As far as how the motor will respond to boost, the JRSC kit that is supposed to be released soon for the RSX, is rumored to put down 220-230whp at 7psi. If this is true, you can only expect more power from any of the turbo kits that will soon be available for it. I would tell your friend to wait a few more months until the Greddy kit becomes available and try that out. It should easily make more power than the JRSC and be CARB legal as well.
