Make sure that will fit the rsx yo

Have you looked into the sidemount manifolds? I saw a 505 whp 15psi pump gas 05 type s on youtube. Stock internals with a full-race stage 2 = hammertime

I have, cost and installation make it a pain in the ass imo. The revhard manifold can support 500whp with a bigger turbo (sc6169) which is 800$. I don't want to make that much power right now. The one on youtube with the F-R 2GT kit, blew up because the kid ran c16 everywhere and went around a corner and ran lean. Piston melted to the sleeve and the rod pulled outta the piston and destroyed the block. meh. I'd rather run 350-400whp and be safe, than blow a stock block just to make an extra 100whp

Anyhow, I'm looking forward to the install and having a decently quick car

~300whp on the street will be a blast.

Can't wait to get dirty on the RSX.

thanks guys... I'm gonna pull the flywheel today and take it tomorrow to get resurfaced. I'm talking to Brian (fade2black) from Clubrsx.com and Tuesday order for all the parts I need. I'm gonna try the boost by gear/boost by rpm function in kpro and use hondata's boost solenoid to see if I can run off the wastegate in 1st and 2nd, but run 10-12 lbs in 3rd through 6th. We shall see what happens. I took some more photos of the tear down as well. Which I've added to the original post.

Wideband? Wish I would've got one instead of my EGT. Oh well.

Great to see the car coming along so well. I will really have to take a walk down Bedford St. one of these days and check this thing out since it wont be at Carlisle as you said.
