oh dear lord please search. and once you figure out there is little information here, head over to clubrsx forced induction forums for this topic has been beaten like a red headed stepchild in the month of may.

For the record, N/A is better for an RSX. So you need to give us info on what it is you want to do with your car. Your power goals, type of auto events (drag, autox, circuit, daily driving).

If you have to ask this then neither is your option. Goin F/I is a huge deal and you need to know what your getting into. There is no "this one is better than that" answer. Its all about tuning, engine management, preference, and what you actually want the car to capable of doing, ie goin fast in a straight line, or more dd use, etc.

If you have to ask, you will probably blow your engine in the first 500 miles. Keep it N/A.
