I dont think the rsx will have room for a turbo much bigger. Look at where the snail is on the greddy rsx. Damn close to the firewall already.

I don't think this car has an intercooler...if you ever looked behind a bumper of an RSX, you'll notice that there's really no clearance back there I et we see more supercharged RSX's than turboed ones

For high-compression engines with alot of valve overlap I would much rather have a good Nitrous setup than a turbo. The timing and fuel management needed for turbo on the K20 will be expensive as hell. Theres a guy around here with a turbo Integra Type R with the ghetto FMU and he runs a 16 1/4 mi.

That's an FMIC alright, you can see the turbine if you look hard enough.
