Default rsx turbo!! help me!

I am planing on boosting my rsx this month and i want to know what kind of setups you RSX riders are running...more detail the better, but mainly i want to know how much boost and how did you run the in/out oil line from turbo to your oil pan...etc.

if your asking these questions, your not ready to boost or you just have too much money to blow and just wants to blow your motor.

No offense but you need to do more home work and figure out how Boost and your motors compression ratio work together. I'll start you out with your CR, if it's a K20A2 you have 11:1 compression. Now go research.

If you do feel compelled to turbo, buy a kit. The instructions should tell you how to run the lines.

i also used a revhard oil return line kit that suplies all the fittings and lines, but you will need to tap your oil pan just above the oil drain plug. its not easy, but drain the oil, remove the oil pan, drill a hole matching the size you need, tap the hole for the fitting, thread it in and lock it down tight.

you dont have to use the revhard kit if you dont want, just search out oil return line kits from all the manufactures, or even ebay it. i know certain other kits use a special fitting called a 'banjo bolt' that mates to the oil plug and the oil from the turbo gets drained to the bottem of the pan, like the Greddy kit uses. you can even search Jegs or Summit for oil return line kits.

good luck

Yes they are Volks. They are Volk CE28N's in 18x7.5 +43mm offset in Bronze. I do believe that they make a time attack version of these wheels though if black wheels are your taste

That looks really clean.

There's also a Honda Sports Limited of the CE28N that is white with a red lip.

Hi, i am currently busy with a semiliar project that you have. De deference is that i bougth everything separatly. I have the Greddy Intercooler kit, Full race manifold, And will be running a Gt-K 550 turbo. I was wondering if you're are already runing and i was wondering if the hondata was easy bolt on for the 2005/2006 model. I will be asking you some questions regarding you're turbo project if you don't mind.

Soon a will be starting with the installation and i will post some pics. Instead of the hondata i bougth the AEM FIC but i think i will need the hodata in the future for the further setup.
thx in advance.
