RSX's are fast mmmkay?
http://photos.imageevent.com/mrsteve...RSX%20CNS1.wmv
The far lane is running the Comptech SC at 9psi, IPS cams, nitrous, and slicks (as well as bolt ons obviously)
The near lane is running the Cybernation Stage 1 turbo kit running about 13-14psi on the stock motor with drag radials.
Enjoy

Most definitely low 11s or high 10s.

They'd be even more impressive with some better traction.With all due respect to the STi, Evo and SRT4 people, I'd take a boosted RSX-S over those three ANY day.

pretty cool... The RSX was too small for me... it is a good starter car for a college kid and you can all see that you can make them pretty fast....
Steve I know you want an RSX...
nice pocket rocket... reminds me of the 98-99 Eclipse GST & GSX's.... I watched one rip an older style Vette apart at a red light last week....

it's fun watching them stage, cause you hear them build boost and then just watch the rear end start to sink 
pay to play.

That Grand National was definitely quick. However, if you own a GN and you aren't running 11s you aren't fast. There aren't many RSX's running low 12s at 120 MPH.

Bumped
Turns out the guy that blew his motor filled up with what he thought was VP101 instead it was 87 octane 
The guy working the pump at the track put the wrong fuel in.

Ugh... not quite. Both the RSX's I posted would walk all over that Jeep. They trap as high as 11 MPH faster than it.

Yeah lets bump this a little bit. So apparently he's reached the full potential of the supercharged + NOS combination on a car with 11:1 compression that revs to 9,000 rpm.
10psi + 100 shot = awesome video

What went wrong?
ME, Shawn wanted to increast NOS engagement to 6000rpm, this would lower the TQ but keep the peak HP, I was all worried about launching at the track so I asked him to keep it at 4000, this resulted in an INSTANT torque spike from 180 ft/lbs @ 4K, to 343.4 @ 4400, this produced cylinder pressure in excess of what the pistons could stand, cylinder #4 let go, the piston shattered, the rod snapped, bits-o-motor went through the oil pan and Jim got a free dyno day.

All you guys that havent driven the 05 RSX-S, I recomend that you do so. It is such a fun car to drive. The seats are awesome and the little leather steering wheel is very fitting. The handling/steering of the RSX is often not brought up, but it's impressive. Great car and great fit and finish.

^ Low 13s. At that much boost you need slicks or DRs to hook up. Without the nitrous he'd be in the upper 12s.
Not a huge deal that he blew the block. He's in the middle of a K24 build that he's going to swap in there. Crazy amount of power on a FWD car but hey, it'll be fun to watch.

The 05 is faster then the 02-04 type S... K-series is better then B series

You don't have to mess with the jumper harness for the K-Pro and you don't need the additional piggyback ECU. The different cams, exhaust, and intake manifold really help that motor go though.The K-series is by far the greatest 4-cyl production motor ever created.
