Just out of curiosity whats the whp horsepower of a RSX Type S?, do they vary from different cars?....


**I know this topic has been covered billions of times, but the search does not work...

aprox. 170

well i've seen dyno plots (dynojets) ranging from anywhere between 160-170whp...so yeah, it varies...late

i saw a magazine doing comparisons of some of the new CAI's and on the RSX-S the AEM posted a net gain of almost 20hp at the wheels to bring it colse to 190 so stock it must have been around the high 160 range

but dayyyyum 20 at the wheels from a CAI...that stock airbox must be crazy restrictive

166

anywhere from 160-170. Depends on a lot of things, dyno, break in, car,ect

Depends on the dyno, outside temp/humidity/etc.
I've got one run on a really hot day right after 3 laps at Carolina Motorsports Park (mobile dynojet 248): 153.2 whp, 119.3 tq
I've got another run on a cool day with the engine pretty much cold (in-ground dynojet 248): 179.27 whp, 130.71 tq
No mods, totally stock drivetrain.
1st runs were with heavier 17" wheels/tires and 2nd runs were with stock wheels/tires, but I'm told that doesn't make a difference.

20whp from an intake? I dont trust those "import" mags for a second. NOtice that thing is littered with advertisements. 10 is really REALLY good...i call BS on that magazine

If you get the Hondata heatshield intake manifold gaskets for the RSX, it really helps out perfromance, dyno proven to add up to 3-5 ft lb of torque and 5 peak HP across the entire power band on a completely stock car. Cuz the head transmitts the heat through to the IM and makes the air much hotter and the stock air box is really restrictive so a CAI help out performance alot. Alot of hidden power.

agreed...the K20 seems to be an engine where stock airflow is just restricted, hence the great gains.

160 at the wheel stock. Add CAI 421 exhaust manifold 3 inch CAT and 3 inch pipe to exhaust and muffler. Hondata. 205 whp

Add intake/ exhaust valves stems and springs along with Stage 1 or 2 Cower Cams or Kelford RBC intake manifold with Hondata gasket modified slightly to fit skunk2 71 mm Throttle Body. 225 230 whp.

Running with 94 octane gas

Please keep in mind the date of the topic you are replying to. I would bet none of the people that posted in this thread prior to you still own an RSX.
