I want to boost my base RSX with an T3/T4. But i heard some rumor that i'm gonna lose compression? If it's possible what should i do? Thanks for the tips.

 

Whoever in the hell that told you that you would LOSE compression with a turbo, needs to be shot.

You GAIN compression with a turbo. Hence the need for lower compression pistons, higher octane fuels and such.

 

Lose of compression from a turbo, definately not.

Maybe you mean do a compression test before boosting? Or the popular rumor that the RSX has too high of compression to boost high numbers.

Either way your not going to lose compression by adding a turbo.

 

You might be reffering to the base rsx (k20a3) having lower compression than its older brother (k20a2 type-s) ?

 

Well thanks for the info. guys. I also have another question, that i also have an integra LS. And i know that the integra have higher compression then the base rsx, just that it only have 140 hp. Which would you guys think i should put the turbo on?

 

i would rather boost the base model rsx, leave the teg for a daily driver, the base model rsx has 9.8:1 compression, its a little high but i have seen people boost 6-16psi on the k20a3, but with the turbo u would need to get a k-pro also to tune it, good luck!
