JSeoul's Turbocharged RSX-S Project: Complete
On September 22nd, 2007, my good friend Johnny encountered some driveline troubles at Beaver Springs Dragway. Upon arrival at Bobby Rahal Acura in Mechanicsburg, PA, his warranty claim was promptly denied on the grounds that the car was picked up at a drag strip.
He was given multiple options by the stealership, none of which were under $3,000 (not even including labor).
So, instead of dumping a bunch of money down the hole with the dealership, the car was backed into our shop, "Sound Innovations", and torn apart. In the months leading up to the driveline failure, Johnny had been collecting parts to turbocharge his 2006 RSX-S using GReddy's kit. So, the car was worked into the schedule on a semi-daily basis after all of the regularly scheduled work for a little under a month, and drove out boosted, and boasting a Quaife limited-slip differential.
Progress shot:
Some tuning, done by myself.
So without any further ado, here's the finished product.
Questions/comments are, as always, greatly appreciated.

Re: (Coke in a Can)
No numbers yet.
It was literally finished up and drove out of the garage this past Wednesday.
Here in the next couple weeks, I'd like to take it to the dyno and really see what we can get out of it with cam angle adjustments and timing.
