I think i'm gunna go with the RSX type S....turboed, or even twined it sounds hella fast with some other mods on it.

to do a twin turbo on a car, does it require a special kit? or can i just go buy 2 turbos? and is it any different to take car of? and do i have to get two: turbo timers, and boost controllers, or can i hook both up to one...i have no idea, lol



thnx for the info guys.


That's true; I was attacking you. I'm glad you caught that.

But don't you already know everything about turbos? I mean, you saw a twin-turboed VR6 that was fast, and you said you would rather twin-turbo a VR6 than build up a 1.8T.

You want to know why it'd be impractical to twin turbo a RSX? read up on how turbos work, and this will make more sense. . . .

A turbo is based off the exhaust manifold. A twin-turbo setup generally used on V-banks has a turbo established for a certain number of banks. One for each 3 cylinders on V6s, etc. Twin turbo an I4, and you'll have two banks powering a turbo. Riiiiiight. I hope two cylinders can provide enough exhaust gas velocity to get the turbines spinning. Oh, but they can! Provided you run small enough turbos. And at this point, you'll be making as much power as one turbo could with less custom fabrication and cost.

but that passed over you, I'm sure.

I seriously suggest you stop asking about twin turboing this and that. At least go read up on this before plunging into it. I can see it now in a few months, "Hey, guys, I just got a twin turbo Prelude, but I blew the motor at 30 psi. what happened? what else can I twin turbo?"
