I have a dd rsx base type and an integra 98 shell wich im starting work on this july I no it may seem worthless to boost a base auromatic k20a3 but hell im going to do it anyways I don't care what people have to say my car so I am going what ever I want to do with it I just need help on deciding wich turbo kit I should get and what would be more sutible for daily driving any advice would be apreciated thanks in advanced

 

Fully custom kit with a T70 Turbo. Go big or go home!!

J/K haha, if I were you I would prolly do a Greddy kit.

 

since kpro's out of the question, what do you plan to use for tuning it should be a big concern for deciding which turbo kit you want.

 

just go with a greddy kit with e manage.......and plate up the fire wall so when the trans goes, you can keep your feet.........

fyi, I think there ar a couple people that have done this on crsx...just remember to search though because they will flame you like a pig at a bbq if you don't...........

 

Tuning is definitely your main concern. Not much for the base auto offered. Greddy is probably your best bet and stay on the lower side of the boost scale.

While searching for turbo kits and tuning possibilities do a quick search on grammar and punctuality so I can read your run on sentences better.

 

bwahaahahahaha.

Seriously, a base automatic? Why bother? Save your money, kid. Boost the Integra instead.

 

werd. I fully agree. Waste of money and time. Just sell the car and get a type-s!! Or yeah boost the integra buy selling that base auto!!

 

Im trying to go n/a on the integra and moneys not the problem and again the rsx is a dd so its automatic manuals a pain in the a$$ when I hit traffic

 

So if it's a DD then why are you trying to boost it?

Automatic trannys hate boost.

 

automatic trannys hate anything!

 

I just went to suja 1 today you guys have nice people working there I guess I no where to go now for my modifying needs

 

glad to be able to help

 

x2. auto and boost are a bad combo, especially on a dd where you can't afford to have the tranny fail. how about an auto k24 swap instead?

 

Np I give respect where its due. . . . and no on the swap and why do people hate on what im trying to do I mean sh*t its my car not yours im asking for advice not what you guys would do its my dd yeah I no most of you guys won't turbo charge it but guess what im not you guys I apriciate you telling me that its not good for an auto tranny but I don't apriciate you saying its a waste of money and such its like somone saying to you don't drive a honda its not what somone wants its what you want you do what makes you happy not to make somone else happy .. ..... and btw I was thinking about going manual b4 I picked up the integra shell lol
So hate on if you must but don't waste your time im just looking for advice

 

you're looking for advice and you got advice. what's the problem again? it sounds like you were wanting to hear something else, and are getting pissed because you didn't.

if we're misunderstanding your question, it might be because of your horrible grammar and lack of punctuation. proper use of the english language really DOES make it easier for us to understand you.

 

DAMN lol im not getting pissed its just I see alota people on ht being smart a$$es when somebody asks a simple question that's all

 

most people in this thread offered genuine advice. honda's auto trannys can't handle big power increases; your tranny is pretty much garaunteed to die if you turbo your auto rsx.

 

You see that's what I need. Some good advice. Not somebody saying its a waste of money or don't watse your time/money. Thank you.

^^^I tried to write better lol not trying to be a smart a$$ just trying to write better so some people won't get mad/offended ect. Thanks for the advice apreciate it much
Btw I looked into a manual swap today at suja 1

 

I have been thinking about mods for the wife's auto RSX that I would not have to work on every week after I do it......I have it figured out....a k24a4 out of the accord.....It has the same lame a$$ veeetack, the intake and header will bolt up and the ecu will run the motor with some 310cc injectors......you have the rear of the head water passage issue buts that nothing hard.... With a good cat back and a cai, you will be putting down like 190whp and like 165ish tq....the auto trans should be able to live with that if you increase the fluid change interverls....just a though.

 

ill keep that in mind thank you. I was thinking about manual swaping since what everyones telling me but its a dd its automatic for a reason. I just might do some internals for now and be done with it until I start on my integra. But that's not going to be drivable for a while wich sucks.

 

I've heard rumors about pieces of metal coming through the firewall from the transmission going...I just couldn't imagine that happening though...it doesn't happen that often does it?...shouldn't really be something to worry about unless you are pushing a lot of power.

 

i agree that the k24 is a good choice if you want good power out of an auto k-series motor.

op, if you're serious about turboing the rsx, a manual swap should be the first thing on your to-do list.

 

From what all of you guys are saying im leaning towards a manual swap. Im thinking about selling the integra shell so I have a little bit more spending cash for the greddy kit. Even tho my rsx right now is a daily driver I might save up and go out and buy me a used pilot and use that as a dd and mod the rsx. If I didn't hear it from you guys I might have made a mistake and blown a lot of chash ot worse engine/trans. Thanks to everyone who replied in this thread apreciate it much.
