Still have to do geo etc after tuning so it will be a little bit. What have you done with your projects? We did not mess with cams but our goal is a good number that will hold up fairly well and I am running out of $ 
Ryan sounds like you have a lot of experience, if you have any suggestions for us let em rip. |
I'm so going to check out this car at MD...its about 1 mile from my house.
I onced owned an RSX-S and was one of the first to run the Greddy Turbo kit(which was the first one out and Jackson was still developing the SC). A lot of people were having problems with their setups at the time. I was just lucky to be deep into the community when all of the new products and setups were coming out for the K-Series. I never messed with the internals on my K20A2, but I was putting down 295WHP 220TQ at 9 PSI. We soon discovered that was the limit for the stock internals as a rod came out to see me one day
. I was the first one to run the AEM EMS as engine management and regret it to this day. Too much functionality for what I was doing, but the K-PRO is by far the most user friendly EM I have used to date.
Another RSX-S (My buddy's car), all NA, K-PRO, Headwork, Forged internals,STOCK CAMS, 12:1 Compression (IIRC). 235WHP 194TQ. Church tuned it and was shocked at the results. Sold his car to some noob college kid, with the KPRO and built motor still in the car, the kid still doesn't understand why vtec kicks in so low and never even put a cold air intake on it....damn shame.
I currently own an 04 STI and my budddy an EVO 9. too many mods, but just too much fun. My next car will be an Elise or a Catterham/Birkin
. I just cant wait for prices to drop when the Evora gets out and popular. I miss the K-series....such a strong engine with so much potential.
Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled drooling over your car.
