Let me start of by thanking Jeff for the sick two piece IC piping and amazing tune, Andrea for all the guidance she has provided me, Geoff and Full-Race for the amazing products they make, Bill (NJslvrtypes) for all the knowledge he has shared and countless hours of help, and all the people that have helped me get here. Well onto graphs and pics. The final whp number was 653.8 whp and Evans said without the recirculated dump I would have seen about 30 more, but the car is better with it (quiet and controls boost creep).
Headlights are being replaced soon...

That rsx has alot of power but look at the lag there is no power untill u are at 5000rpm. Thats alot of lag! Personally i wouldnt think of this car as verys streetable its just a car to brag about, maybe do some drag racing in. there isnt enough low end for it to be fun enough, well for me personally

Wonder how hard that power is to control once the boost hits

looks like when the boost hits, it'll feel alot like nitrous. The curve is pretty vertical from 5500-6500.
+1 on the engine bay looking fugly....I'd be embarrassed to pop my hood.

Honda gearing is much closer than Nissan so that RPM will climb much faster also he has 9000RPM so he has from 5k-9k of full boost same as us boosting from 3k-7k rpm. Honda guys know how to drive way up the RPM so just by lunching at 3K which is pretty normal for them then combination of the Higher Gearing they will never see 4krpm after first gear.

I use to launch my old EG hybrid at 3000-3500. Even then I still chirped the fronts. I bet from 1st through 2nd this guy is spinning his wheels on street tires. Lack of traction is his worst enemy.

True same as 700whp VQ having traction problem. Oh, there are ways for FWD to increase traction else non will run 7-8's sec on 1/4 mile.

old news. The blacktrack silve RSX has pulled the same numbers and has the K24 hybrid setup that this one has and looks to have the identical turbo setup as well.
