Why is it the first and last time you'll ever boost an NA motor? Car's nice man
Because it was $$$$+++ and when you read threads, they always leave out the minor details.
Looking good have you dyno it yet?
thats gonna be sweet build. i wanted an rsx s like that in the worst way before. cant wait to see what power you make
boosted RSX's are sooo hawwt
No I havent had it on the dyno yet. I plan on turning the key for the first time tonight. Can you believe my build has been put on hold for a week due to running out of 1"x50ft of Titanium heat wrap. We have one runner to do left on the manifold.Quote:

We have our first major east coast Canada car show next weekend, so I need to trailer the car down and gonna have to limp or push the car in.
Im hoping for 275-300whp for this summer. I just want to have it be reliable for this summer. I may upgrade to a SiR 5 speed tranny w/ LSD next year.Quote:

Nice! Glad it worked out for you man. My only advice is to make sure you get the BEST TUNE POSSIBLE. Your tune alone will make or break your car. I look forward to your progress from here, and don't worry - you're going to absolutely LOVE your car now :biggrin:
I have no tuners local that I trust so I found a tuner on CRSX that does tuning through email. He has alot great vouches so I can feel confident that he will do a great job.
A few shots from one of the largest East Coast indoor car shows. I took #1 for best Acura. Only 5 in my class, lol

That's nice, definitely deserve best in class. Congrats! You need some BoostedK20 decals to go along with your boosted RSX, they should be out next week!
Sounds good. I'll rock a black one on my sunroof.
I forgot to post up the results from my dyno tune.
the Transmission bolt decided to unscrew itself and drain my fluid out, lol. No damage done, but the day was finished. We still have to do a bit more work as far as tuning goes..part throttle and warm up andfirst start and idle ..
These were the end results before the spill.
Corrected at 16 lbs.

and uncorrected.

We did one pull at 366whp.
In an above post I said that there isnt anyone local that I trusted tuning my car. After talking to a few guys about the car, I didnt realize that there are a few locals that know there stuff. So I want to take back that comment.
Anyways.
I finially have the car to where I want it (for now). I still want my RPF1's. Heres a few pics as the car sits now.

Dope, and tuning is key. Your car is definitely one of the nicer ones on here :thumb:
^ Thanks. I have discovered that I have a bad o2 Sensor. That is whats causing my A/F to be off.
how do u do against that evo?
Honestly, were pretty dead even. Never raced per say, but we've done a few cruises and stuck right together. Here's a vid of a little cruise.

:thumbsup::love:
Haters gonna hate....
I love the welded piping for the intercooler. So clean with no couplers!
Insane pics! Great photographer, captured the blue very well. And welded charge pipes really are amazing, so much better looking and no leaks! (well, considering they were welded correctly) Really loving your car, seems like the RSX's are making a comeback!
In my area as for RSXs, I think I have seen 4 that are clean. And mine is included in that 4 lol. So as for them making a come back, I dunno. I don't think there wwas ever a start for them on the east coast. Theres also a lot of nice ones in Halifax. But that's a 4 hour drive from where I am.
So my tranny went boom.............. Ffff
:FUU: What are you gonna do now?Quote:

Damn man. Was it the stock 6speed? Are you going to put in a 5 speed now that it's blown?
:bump:
We took the transmission apart last night. Figured out what I needed.Quote:

So I picked up a slightly used second gear, input shaft, speedo sensor and I finially got around to getting my LSD. Stock Civic Si LSD.
Ill probably end up granny driving it for the rest of summer, lol.
Enjoy the carnage guys.

After going through this thread, I really regret not keeping it. Currently looking for its new owner in the Toronto area.
Yes it was a very nice and clean car manQuote:
