...and made 335hp at the wheels at 13psi. The work was done at John Eagle Acura here in Houston. I don't have the dyno sheet, but I just got word from the guy who put the thing together. I'll see if I can get a copy of the dyno sheet though, and a list of what other mods were done to it.

man options doesn't even have bolt ons for it yet so who makes a SC? my buddy has one and wants an SC soon

 

hmmmm

170 hp from a supercharger...I'm going to have to call BS on this one.

 

What kind of SC is it? Centrifugal? I'd have to see the engine bay to believe it....it's already WAY too compact as it is..

 

at 13psi im sure its possible, but of course we need the sheet scanned.

 

yeah, 13psi well tuned can give you those kind of numbers. Especially if they are still running stock Compression and tuned it right. It's believable, I'd like to see the graph as well. -C

 

BS!

 

I believe it. Didn't the Civic Si with a Vortech running ~10psi get 280whp in SCC? So on the RSX with higher compression, higher boost and tuning should be right around there.

B ****ing S.

 

I say the same thing.. B-S..

 

It is possible. If we do some calculations we can see.

For example, the Competch S/Ced S2000 run 6psi and dynoes ~285whp.
A stock S2000 dynos ~200whp and atmospheric pressure is ~14.7psi. So, if we calculate what it would theoretically dyno 1 + (6psi/14.7psi) * ~200whp = 281whp. Right in the ballpark!

An average 6psi Jackson Racing GSR dynoes ~190-210whp (at least from what I’ve seen) and stock GSR’s dyno ~145whp. The calculation shows 1+(6/14.7) * 145 = 204whp. Again, right in the ballpark!

So far we see that calculation is fairly close. Now we can do the same for a Type-S running 13psi. We’ll say that a broken in Type-S will dyno ~170whp. 1+(13/14.7) *170 = ~320whp. It’s a tiny bit lower, but it could be possible with better tuning maybe.

I know that this doesn’t take into account heat and other things. But we also don’t really know if the car had the intake charge intercooled or had a header or exhaust or what kind of blower it was anyway.

 

the reason i say BS is that the car has been out for like a month, and they already have a SC on there? Also judging by the power output I would assume it is a centrifigul SC with an IC. They would have had some info awhile ago to get the fitment correct and the tuning correct.. It is possible, but I think it is BS until I see it.

 

Yeah, I was kinda wondering how they already have an S/C out too. I bet that if it was for real, it's not a production model.

 

With the right amount of money, anything is possible.

 

Well yeah, but I still think it is BS.

 

Yeah, Go do that.
