Post subject:  plans for the RSX in '08

now that I'm making good power N/A and have all the support mods (Kpro, etc) I'm definitely considering boosting my RSX.

Probably come through with a custom kit, and have hybrid do the tuning and perhaps install some of it.

Here is my list so far, with a rough price estimate. Goal is 350whp~+ daily on 93octane/10psi or so.

GT3076R Turbo $1250
Revhard Manifold $300~
3" Custom downpipe $250~
Injectors (780cc) $320~
Walbro intake FP $95~
Tial 50mm BOV $220~
TiAL 38mm Wastegate $230~
MBC $125~
Intercooler $450~
Clutch CC STG4 $399~
3" Kteller pipe $260~
Vibrant 3" FB Muffler $125~
Vibrant UQ Resonator 3" $100~
Vaccum line $20
Boost Couplers $100
Intercooler piping $150
4" pipe + filter $150
Smaller battery + relocation $150
Misc gaskets/etc $100
Oil Feed/return kit $175~


Total $4980

If anyone has any input, it would be much appreciated :)

This probably won't happen until the fall, maybe even spring of 09', financially it will just make the most sense.

I priced a full-race stg 2 setup with a t3/60-1 turbo, and it was about 6500$ for all the parts. Granted, full-race has sick manifolds, but after talking to eric and dennis, relocating everything from behind the motor is a real pain in the ass, and I'm not really looking to build the motor at this point, so a equal length side mount manifold isn't really needed. This will give decent power and I can revert back to stock if I ever want to sell it, without needing to buy 100 new lines.

No I can't remember, but you could potentially do it with a CRV driveline.
