I am curious how much wheel horsepower a completely stock automatic acura rsx makes.

I know that its engine is rated at 160hp, just like the manual rsx (the not type-s one I mean), but I assume it puts a little less power to the wheels than the manual 160hp rsx, since an automatic tranny eats up a little more power than a manual tranny.

Have any of you ever seen a dyno of a stock auto rsx posted on here, or know of a dyno of one anywhere? I would really appreciate it.

Also, how much whp can an rsx automatic tranny handle before it explodes usually? 200? 250? 300?

I know integra ls automatic tranny's are supposed to be pretty weak, and not be able to handle much more than 200 whp, but I am curious if the rsx automatic tranny is supposed to be stronger or weaker than the acura ls tranny. Anyone know?

thanks

 

I've seen stock LS tranny(turbo) with 216 whp..., I would think auto k-series could withhold similar abuse??? btw, "Oldboy" FTW!!!

 

There was some people back in the day making 250whp on a stock base auto trans. You can beef them up easily FWIW.

I'll see if I can put my daily on our dyno one day.
