can you supercharge or turbo a base automatice acura rsx?

of course!.. but i am not saying it would be totally a waste of money... which it would be... my advice.. trade it and get a manula and then turbo it... you'll be bookin then

Yes you can but ill advice you to upgrade your air intake and exhaust aswell if you dont want premature wear and tear on your engine :-)

I wouldn't bother with an auto...I'd get a type S and do it..

You can as it is the same K20 found in a manual RSX its just that the transmission will have to be fortified to take the added power. Not many places out there make performance automatic FWD tannies so it will be hard put the power to the ground.

Depends on how much horsepower increase.Additional 100 HP will definitely blow up your gearbox.You can take the risk by increasing 15 to 30HP.The safest choice is to change to a manual gearbox.

You can.. but you will have to upgrade alot of your engine parts so that they can handle the extra pressure

sure, just hope you are or know a good mechanic to fix all of the problems that will occur once you do this. Whatever you spend on the turbo you can expect to spend in additional repairs within 2 years of making this "upgrade". Also, by doing this to your car you void any warranty and won't greatly increase the value, in the long run it will make your car worth less as people know you've dogged it.

you can but it will cost you.beefed up suspension, transmission, bigger tires high performance engine parts, and exhaust. You may even want to beef up the brakes.......prepare to clean out your bank acct. of money and cobwebs.Daniel

That's like asking ifcan u supercharge a human brain?
