Hey whats up......i live down in florida and own an acura rsx type s turbo.....i have own the car for 2 years and have been boosted for 4 months now....i dyno at 338hp and the torque was low....mid 200's...i love the car and all but im ready to take the big step into the awd...thinking about buying an evo not sure yet which one have to search around the forums...

 

Welcome to Evom....I'm sure you'll find plenty on here to help you on your Evo decision...

 

Welcome to evom and everything it has to offer......post some pics of your boosted RSX.....engine too if you have any....i had an old 93 integra gs...loved it....

 

Welcome! I went through a similar dilema and made my decision. I haven't regreted it yet. Heres to my missed beloved girl "Jocelyn". 429whp of tractionless fury.

 

Jocelyn?.....hhhmmm

 

dingleberries....same dilema im in...i was thinking of building my block but why should i if i dont get any traction.....i mean we pull hard on third and fourth gear but in first and seconds its mostly spining tires....

 

Welcome

 

Overall the rsx-s is a great car, however it's slightly limited. Traction will always be an issue regardless if you have an LSD or sticky tires. I know of a few rsx owners that have 500whp+ daily driven, all of which complain about streetability. I have sacrificed power, but everytime I carve through a turn, the smile on my face is priceless. Also the 4g63 / awd is a perfect combination for some high hp potential and having 4doors is a huge relief.

 

cool ill be doing alot of research.....just few basic question......what problems do evo confront once they get to the 400 horsepower???how much can the stock block hold??

 

Evo should not have problems at 400hp except for new clutch. There are some guys running 500hp+ on stock block.

 

Welcome, I come from a boosted 00 civic si. traction was a big issue with me. not to mention lil things here and there that broke loose. I am so happy with my evo. I am sure you will too.

 

cool im really looking into it??i have to find a little more detail on the rs and IV....but the rs dosent come with ac and stereo right?

 

AC yes. No Stereo. Roll up windows and manual locks. No keyless entry, no ABS/EBD, no map lights, etc. So less convenience. It does have the aluminum roof though and the boost gauge kit.
