well if your deciding on turboing your car let me know here i have a ton of information that would be really helpful if your deciding to turbo your car ... i went through a few turbo kits and different tunes as well as ecu's and i finally ended up making 450+ reliable horsepower ... feel free to ask any questions or give me any information u might have about turboing the k20a2 (type s) thanks

 

HERES A PIC of my engine with the rev hard stage 2 turbo kit which made 389 whp at 12 psi .......... let me know what u think its kinda dirty i need to put new pics up this one makes it look kinda sloppy but its been cleaned up a lot since this pic

 

sounds a lot like an advertisement. you saying its reliable? for how long? stock internals?

 

yes how is 12psi reliable? on a 11:1 compression motor? 0_o

 

its built ... 8 1/2 1 je pistons ... forged alluminum crower rods .... cometic head gasket .... apr head steads ... slight port and polish ...

 

gotcha. it should be able to handle tons of boost then. haha

 

how much did it all cost you in the end?

 

Our search engine works ftw.

 

the turbo kit was 4000 ... the engine build was 7000 ... the kpro and tune was 2000

but the engine will last over 100,000 miles and the block is pretty much bullet proof ..
but i spent a lot of time and money but i think it was worth it ...
i think the best way to go is to buy a rev hard turbo kit from rev hard and just put low compression pistons in the engine and upgrade to a kpro and boost 12 pounds .. the car will rip for around 5000 dollars

 

no offense your set up looks nice....but i personally think that a full race turbo kit is by far the best kit the RSX...power gains are excellent and price range is very close to all other competitors whos kits are making way less power than any full race kit...by the way what size turbo do you have???

 

yeah full race is definetly the best but its like 2500 more then the rev hard and unless u have internals u cant use all of its potential power... a built k20 would be awesome with a full race kit

 

I'd first need to get an A2.....then buy a turbo....but after that, yep, I'll be boosting

 

so you spent a total of $13,000 for less than 400 whp?

 

well there was a bunch of little **** too that i had to buy but the only reason it didn't make more is cuz i only have 550 cc injectors right now and i need a bigger turbo... but once i get the 1000's and bigger turbo ill be makin high 500's ... but i didn't wanna do that because i wanted the engien to be reliable its an everyday car and i was plannin on sellin it soon ...

 

i boosted mine a while ago, but i was curious, did you have to resleeve your block or did you jus drop in pisons and rods, lemme know im in the military and money is tight

 

TTT

 

Or if you know what you're doing piece a turbo kit together for half the price of what major companies have you pay. Instead of spending ungoddly amounts of money going thru turbo kits after turbo kits.. get a turbo that is rightfully sized for your car. Learn how to read a flow chart and a/r you'll be good to go. Do it right the first time you wouldn't have to spend x amount of dollars "testing" things out.
