Turboed RSX with 313 WHP and it is Automatic!

This is what I read in the Turbo Magazine (August 2003).

A guy turboed his RSX and puting 313 WHP and it is Auto!, Stock, too!

Does the RSX Auto tolerate 313 WHP!.

If its Auto it has to be a RSX-P which has i think 174 hp.......how big is the turbo that it gave an almost 200 hp increase ...and the car is stock?something smells funny and its not me... ...also sounds like a lot of stress on the tranny without a tranny cooler and other mods...hmm

no way!

a 160 hp engine FF......I find that hard to believe...

I can't see why the idiot couldn't make it a Type S and start out with his 200hp tuned machine with 6-speeds.
He's spending all this money on a turbo so.....

Not a problem. You can make mad power with a turbo, and at a fraction of what it would cost you to make some NA.

I don't remember which company it is, but one company took a type S, and rebuilt it to their specs, and laid down 270hp at the wheels, and 175tq at the wheels.

313 FI hp is totally realistic, IMO.

usually turbo gives on a percentage increase of teh hp the car already has

Anyways I think we should start a money pool
I bet his tranby blows w/in 5 weeks if he pushes it
couple months if he doesn't
bye bye tranny
