Hi, i have all heard you guys say that you should check the actuator on our car if you feel that it is not going as fast as you would think. Well i was wondering if this can be done on an RSX. My friend has a rsx type-s and we went for a ride last night. He ran it hard and shifted at 7900 redline but i could swear that my cl-P felt faster by the seat of my pants. He also said that he felt that his car was slower now and that he felt his mom's tl-p was faster. I am wondering if this could be the same problem and if there is anyway we could check the actuator if that's it. Thanks

 

does the RSX have a plenium plates like us? sorry not to techie about the rsx-s

 

If the RSXS has dual stage induction it isn't mentioned anywhere on Acura's web site. Therefore, I think not. Where as the CLS on Acura's web site dual stage induction is mentioned several times!

 

I don't know what the RSX has, i bet that it may not even have a actuator so i'm just throwing this question out if anyone has any ideas of what else could be wrong. Thanks

 

By seat of the pants feel 90% of all 6 cylinder engines will "feel" faster than a 4 cylinder. Why? In a word Torque! The RSXS' peak torque comes high on the rev range where normal drivers rarely go. Unless you wind that motor out in won't "feel" very fast.
