Rep Power: 0 nope, there would be WAY too many problems in fine tuning the engine to handle the power of 2 since it's 4cyl. also, if you're talking about the type s it has a 11.5:1 compression ratio from the factory. Thicker head gaskets would lower it but with 2 turbo's running decent amounts of boost it'd be hard to keep the engine from boiling its insides. if i think hard enough, i could probably come up with something else but it's midnight already

Rep Power: 374 If you tuned the RSX engine enough one would be more than enough...there is such a thing as overkill....like too much of a exhaust pipe diameter gives way to loss of Hp because of too much backpressure so when AND IF you fit the RSX engine in your 7th gen go for one turbo and tune the hel! out of it and youll do fine

Rep Power: 0 I think you should worry about the problem of actually getting the K20 into you car. Besides if you are going to shell ouf 4 or 5 k for then engine, plus 2-3k per turbo, why not save the money, trade inyour civic and get a type s to begin with. You'll probably end up with some money left over...

Rep Power: 0 Um . . . would it be possible? SURE! It is POSSIBLE. Is it logical, feasible, intelligent, advisable? Aw, HELLS NAW! Putting in a K20 with 1 turbo may require the loss of AC, Power steering, and an azzload of modification, but 2?!?!? Um . . .er . . . eh . . . erimuhumuh . . . NO.

Rep Power: 0 well, if we're talking a large supply of cash you're willing to part with, yes you can swap a k series in and then throw dual turbos into a custom split intake manifold, but its not logical [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
