Default Just getting started on a 2002 RSX

I recently sold my 2001 Honda Civic EX to my little brother, I always wanted to do a K series engine swap, but everytime I priced it, I might as well have just bought a RSX that came with the engine I wanted.... so the question is, I am looking to push around 250 horses, how well can the engine handle forced induction like a turbo or supercharger setup? and what should I upgrade after putting in the setup... I am gonna put in a new air intake, headers and exhaust without question.... what else is rcommended?

you can easily makea reliable 250whp on stock internals with a turbo. theres no point in getting i/h/e if youre boosting.

just read daily around the forums and specific sitess
or better yet, google all of your questions
i'm sure just about what ever question you can think of has already been answered in many forms

but yeah, 250whp can easily been made with a simple turbo or supercharger setup

well if you gonna boost than you dont need headers nor a separate intake that should be included in a full turbo kit ... and you maybe making alot more than just 250 with that bolted on cause you will end up tuning your car cause i dont think the stock ecu can handle turbo ... lol good luck and if you what to make 250 without turbo just get a cold air, headers, exhaust, and k-pro with a dyno tune ... should get you more than that ... up to you though ...

a reliable 240-250whp could be made n/a as well for less than a turbo kit would cost . i/h/e rbc manifold, 66mm tb, k24 bottom end, some mild cams (ips k2 or similar) and kpro will get you there, plus youll have more torque
