:uhhuh:

Naw man, he will beat an 02-04 rsx on kpro pretty easy. The newer rsx's will give him a run for his money though. They have a 4.7 fd and more aggresive cams.


92 hatch, this is all going on an 05+ rsx type s.

06-09-2008, 10:06 AM
i bought it brand new...didn't want to take any chances. i got it off of clubrsx.com for $92 shipped. i just feel a lil' iffy buying one of those used.

aighty mang! what matticus is talkin about is he and i installed the RBC intake manifold the other night! quite excited to see how it runs now!

shftyazn
06-21-2008, 12:49 PM
the RBC actually made my ride run more rich with fuel. but we(Matticus) are makin' some changes to the map and gonna upload 'em to see if he was able to pull some fuel out and pull some power out of it also! i got my IC in FINALLY! installed the fuel pump the other day, AND now i'm waiting for the Tial BOV & WasteGate w/ dumptube to come in!

Matticus
06-22-2008, 12:27 PM
I could have pulled around 15% fuel from 6*** to redline. I only pulled around 8-10% to play it safe for now. I also pulled a little fuel before and after the vtec crossover on low cam, its pretty much spot on at the moment high cam engages.

All I can say is smooth smooth smooth.

Matticus
06-24-2008, 03:59 PM
UPDATE ****

Lambda overlay makes things almost no fun LOL AFR's at WOT are stuck at 13.3:1 and straight as an arrow :thumbsup:

I have a little more smoothing to do to the fuel curve. But, all and all I am very happy with the outcome. The ass-dyno says the rbc made a big difference. :D

I've read through the whole thread, hopefully I didn't miss it but how much boost you're planning on pushing? and what numbers you're hoping to get? Say goodbye to first, second, and maybe third gear

shftyazn
07-31-2008, 01:22 AM
yeah...i've heard about missin' them gears! LoL! I'm lookin' to get a conservative tune of around 350whp. some people are telling me that i'll probably be tuned around 12lbs. or less. Which I'm not complaining! the more hp i can hopefully put down on lower boost, the better! the reason for a conservative tune is 'cause i should be graduating this coming may. so after that happens, and i can get a Daily Driver that i don't have to worry about...then i'll be trying to put crazy numbers down! :D

Skoodles
07-31-2008, 08:04 AM

Forget that more boost less hp FTW!!!! just remember its all about boost:beavisbutthead:

I've read through the whole thread, hopefully I didn't miss it but how much boost you're planning on pushing? and what numbers you're hoping to get? Say goodbye to first, second, and maybe third gear

More than likely between 8 to 10psi. We are estimating the power to be around 350whp. Say its tuned on 10 and starts going over 350whp the boost will be backed down a lb or 2. I don't think he is going to want much more power than 350, I consider that to be a good starting point for someone that has never been behind the wheel of a boosted honDUH. He told on himself by posting the picture of the boost control solenoid, he should have traction in 2nd. :thumbsup:

NBPacuraTL
07-31-2008, 02:40 PM
If i remember correctly, there is also a compatibility of boost by gear right on Hondata? which is what you're talking about where he can be able to get traction in second?

shftyazn
07-31-2008, 03:51 PM
well if i'm wrong...matticus is there to back me up. he's helping piece this turbo together. so if i don't know...matticus has been there to make sure i don't mess up shit! :D

boost by gear vs. rpm

The only reason he wont have much traction in 1st on the street is because you can't run lower boost than w/g spring. Not to mention the car has a 4.7 fd.

so I've picked up a red-top Optima battery, thanks to Matticus, which will most likely be relocated to the hatch. I dropped off the turbo to be checked out and rebuilt @ Turbochargers on IH-10, right beside the new Tokyo's. And hopefully i will have all the lil' nick-nack stuff in whenever the turbo is finished and rebuilt! I'll keep you guys updated!

about 2years ago guy brought a redtop into o'reillys when i worked there and said his truck wouldn't start. checked it and it checked fine. said he wanted a new battery anyways and left it as a core. i kept it and stuck it in my truck and had that big system on it. and still to this day that thing is holding its own. cant complain on free stuff.
