I assume he's asking about completely stock internals...but that leaves everything outside of the motor (injectors, ecu, turbo, etc. wide open).

whats with the noob comments ... be nice here he is just asking a question ...

anyway ... the question should be clarified more ... if sk8er251cc has it right than without working on the engine itself you can have alot more power than you may think ... i heard a stock rsx type s that blow its motor boosted about 42 psi and made about 500 hp i think not sure but the point is if you boost maybe 20 psi to be safe and tune it right you should easily get maybe 300 hp to the crank at the least maybe ... you should really decide first on what type of build you want and what kind of racing you plan on doing ... that will help you figure out how much of the engines limit you what to push on ...

Yeah that little dinky turbo. I'd love to see a bigger turbo on the RDX and see how that goes. Be pretty interesting if you ask me.

thats not really the point but i guess it is pretty small ... but i mean the k series is a pretty tough engine and can handle large amounts of stress without trouble ...
