Just picked up an 04 RSX as a daily driver. What mods should I consider for more power in terms of best bang for my buck? Exhaust? Intake? ECU upgrade? Thanks in advance

 

Welcome, the main ones are Intake, headers, exhaust, and underdrive pullies. Those will give you the best bang for the buck, also consider some suspension upgrades to improve the fun and handling of the car. ECU upgardes are harder to come by, but a piggy back system and a tune could provide some help assuming you have the other things I mentioned, also a lot of RSX heads like to do the k24 block swap

 

Base RSX or Type-S?

 

Welcome!

 

Thanks for the advice. I think I am going to start with the suspension. Any recommendations for a strut tower brace? I am asking b/c when I search, I find a bunch and have no idea of which ones are better than the others....or is there a difference at all. I assume the better the material, the better the performance? Thanks in advance!!

 

My RSX is the base model. My weekend car is a gas guzzler, so fuel economy was a big consideration for my daily driver.

 

Welcome to the forums, I new here as well, but I been at CRSX sine 05.

 

What are your future plans for car? Im running I/H/E/K-Pro and I put down 208whp. that is with the v2 and stock IM. I just got my cam, cai and RBC in. im hoping to make 225 - 230whp. for starters i would go with intake and a race header with either ESMM Inserts or full Motor Mounts.

 

Your best bet for an upper strut brace is a 3 point brace

Also look into sway bars

 

whats your weekend car!?
