Honda Car Forum

Hey everybody,
Quick question: I have an ’04 RSX Premium atuo/sportshift and was
wondering what the process is (and price(s) if possible) to turbo my
ride.... Will I have to firstly install perfomance parts prior to
installing a turbo (i.e. cams, valves, anything with ignition,
etc...)????? I apologize for my lack of knowledge in this area, am
somewhat embarrassed that I do not know this since I do consider
myself a decently knowledgeable car dood :P Any replies would be
greatly appreciated, peace out! OH YEA, and what kind of horsepower
gains will I get?

It depends on how much boost you want to use,or what your HP target is.
That goes for price,HP gains,and what parts upgrades needed.
Low boost levels need no internal upgrades,kits start at around $3000,IIRC.
The higher the boost levels you use,the more you have to spend to insure
your motor survives.

Perhaps you should read some of the import performance magazines on the
shelves at bookstores and supermarkets.
Then Google around and see what you find online.
