I finally got around to dynoing my RSX after street tuning with a well-known member over at ClubRSX. Here is what I have done to the car:

2006 Vivid Blue Pearl RSX Type-S  
  
_ **Engine/transmission:** _  
Stock internally from valve cover to oil pan  
JVTR racing log manifold (had a revhard but broke a bolt off in it)  
Precision SC6162S turbocharger (.70 A/R compressor side, .63 A/R exhaust side)  
Revhard chargepiping/intercooler  
Honda RBC with karcepts adapter (06+ civic SI intake manifold)  
Injector Dynamics ID1000 cc injectors  
Custom pushloc -6AN feed/return lines  
PowerRevRacing K-series fuel rail  
Aeromotive compact FPR  
Synapse BOV  
Synapse 40mm wastegate  
Synapse boost connect vacuum hoses  
custom 3" downpipe/testpipe (Fade2Black @ clubrsx)  
Skunk2 Megapower 76mm R exhaust  
Custom 4" intake/Amsoil dryflow filter  
NGK BR8IEX plugs (switching to 9s soon)  
CC Stage 4 6puck sprung clutch  
Hondata boost solenoid  
Hondata K-pro  
Autometer gauges/a-pillar gauge pod

Suspension:  
BC N+ coilovers  
Ingalls camber kit  
Rota Torques 17x8" +48mm offset (+3mm spacer in rear)  
Megan c-pillar bar (for camera mount)

didn’t really mess with show too much on this car, was more interested in turboing it. Anyhow, here is my graph and video to go with it.

IMW didn’t do the tune, just rented me the dyno. Magnesium over at club-rsx did the tune if you’re interested.

here is the video I made.

I was happy, hoping for 400whp and ended up plenty more. Car feels awesome on the street. Now I need to find a way to get a ep3 tranny to work with the 05/06 high frequency VSS.

my bad! it made 14.5psi at spool up and dropped down to 13.5psi up top. My guess is the filter was probably choking it slightly, however, it basically made 417 on 13.5psi, so I’m very happy with that.

i had that exact turbo on last years setup, i liked it but it dropped off hard after 23-25psi. Thats pretty much its sweet spot. Decent all around turbo tho.

Awesome job. The last gen RSX has been one of my favorite cars. When I bought my Mazda3, it was a toss-up between that and the RSX. I got the 3 because it was a wagon/hatchback and I wouldn’t have to get rid of it when I have kids. There are still a lot of times that I wish I had bought the RSX though.

You shouldn’t. The 3 chassis is far superior to the DC5 chassis in every way, motor excluded.

Great results on the dyno! Looks good.

intake cam rotating backwards some. We could have smoothed it out even more but you’re talking about the cam rotating like 5 degrees over 1000rpm. log manifold doesn’t flow like the sidewinders, so you pull back the cam angle some up top, helps the engine maintain torque better.

I thought the same thing after riding in this thing. Especially since it’s stock block. I imagined that setup in my wife’s Fit. haha.

enough money is all I’ll say. I could have always went to a sidewinder, but that leads up with a bunch of other issues (creep, relocation of shit, etc)

Just curious. I decided to go with the Swift Racing kit and then I will base future upgrades off that. Im 2 weeks into the build time hopefully will have the kit in 2 more weeks

which swift kit are you getting? the DIY one? still pretty pricey. I think I spent around 7g’s on the turbo setup and supporting mods, minus k-pro/suspension/wheels/tires/etc.
