What all do i need to buy to Turbo my acura rsx.?

an acura rsx, for starters.

Unless you are prepared to tear apart the engine, don't bother. Turbocharging is absolutely the best way to increase power without adding much weight, but you need high strength pistons, rings, engine block and heads. You may get by for a few years without modding anything in your engine but it will eventually fall apart.

the guy above me is wrong.my bro's friend got his rsx into imported tuner. he didnt rebuild his engine.you dont have to rebuild the whole thing, that s only when you are gonna use a big turbo, if you are gonna stick with a small one, then you just need these things1.tubing2.turbo(duhhhh!)3.intercooler (optional, but recomended)4. exuast manafold (for turbo)5.did i say tubes?6.a tuned ECU(so your rsx will run better with the engine running at the best it can)7. oil pump8. oil cooler9. oil lines10.a boost gauge11. me, when your going 200 on the freeway

Alot of MONEY !!!!! Better not to mess with that car because it's worth a few bucks. Best to get a new Z06 and do nothing, or a mustang and toss a few K into that if you want to mess around.

merchandise value $4500, plus installation. Buy a new engine. Better choice.
