04silvrz Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 What up everyone, my name is Bill. I drive a 2002 Acura RSX Type S, so far it's just got I / SS. Future plans include RH, K-Pro, Super Charger, Suspension and whatever else I can get my hands on. Look to be complete by winters end with about 300WHP. Been tinkering around with cars for about 9 or so years now, mostly DSM. Anyway, just wanted to do a quick introduction. Actually met a couple people from here over the weekend at the Fall Cruise. Here is the car, if ya see me around say what up!! http://a326.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/23/l_1924ace898271da6d77a4fd5952ddf25.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

04silvrz Posted October 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 To get these results or better on stock internals... I mean I could turbo and run about 10 psi fairly reliable with stock parts but, a supercharger gives better HP across the power band. http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/11/web/2255000-2255999/2255290_30_full.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

04silvrz Posted October 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 i didn't mean more power, meant more equally distribution of power across the power band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good reason personally i think superchargers are little more fun for day to day driving. Whine=good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04silvrz Posted October 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Yeah I have had a couple turbo cars, 1G and 2G Eclipses (4g63). The 1G was pretty reliable with upgraded boost and bolt on's but I really didn't like the turbo lag. Then the 2G crank walked on me, and I had traction problems with it. So I wanna do something that has a N/A feel. I have rode in a RSX with SC and it had a very nice feel to it. It does limit the boost at 10PSI but, realistically i shouldn't boost anymore than that on stock compression anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have fun with your rsx if you ever put down any decent numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1647545494 Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 i didn't mean more power, meant more equally distribution of power across the power band. properly sized turbos can give linear powerbands just like a roots blower - without the downside of being terribly inefficient.
