Do you think i will feel decent gains with a aem cai, h-p top portion header, greddy cat-back, aem true power pullies or d-h racings full set,and a grounding kit? The only reasons i want gais from bolt on and not turbo is because at some time i want to get internals rebuilt ad add a supercharger if they ever make one that is. tell me what you think. thanks.

for the intake you will lose so low end torque but feel a little something in higher rpms ,the hp top portion will give you a wider powerband feel,the exhaust aganie might lose some lowend power depends an exhaust and gain a little top end .the grounding will give little but trotle responce brighter headlights and fuel milage as for the pullies don't was't your time...bolts on are not worth all the money they cost there mostly for appeal and sound if you want some power you can fell go forced induction everyone on this site will tell you the same but you know what there right don't find out the hard way by spending 200 on an intake 600 on an exhaust 3oo on a header and 100 on a grounding kit and 100 on pullies thats 1300 toward a turbo...i mean internals would be extra sweet with a turbo ya know i just don't think youll be as happy with bolt-ons

maybe a stupid question, but if you have trubo dont you need i/h/e for the added flo???

good statement, if u want a turbo dont bother witha i/h/e, well exhaust maybe but the other two get scrapped

you need exhaust but an intake and a header, are replaced with the turbo manifold, and the turbo piping bolting to the throttle body

now im confused, but it kinda makes sense....

the intake gets replaced with the turbo piping and the header gets replaced with the turbo exhaust manifold (the turbine bolts up to it) and if you have a relatively small diameter exhaust youll most likely be buying another one. bigger exhaust piping is what gives the turbo power.

that is true the tubing replaces the intake from what i have seen and know...

You won't lose any low end torque if you get the K&N FIPK II intake.

eh go look at some pics of a turbo car guys. heh.

i mean there's still intake and header, of course... you'll still need air intake via a filter... (well actually you can just go straight from turbo to throttle body but thats another story)

as for the header/manifold... you'll still have one.. except it'll be a turbo manifold with a mount for the turbo and waste gate and what not..

and finally as for the bolt-ons... its honestly smarter and makes more sense to invest in force induction or slap on a low shot nitrous if you want acceleration you can feel.

oh yeah, supercharger is highly highly unlikely... i dont see how there could be room for one. wouldn't be economical/practical to have one

they have one for the RSX and Si tho!

The rsx and si have a different engine. JR started to make one, but sold the car and started a k20 project for the si and rsx engines.

that sucks, yea I know they have different engines, but similar space issues

Sorry I'm gonna be a noob here. Why is there room for a turbo but not a supercharger? Is a SC a lot bigger? I guess I've never seen one.

I think its about the size of an amp or so, not 100% on exactly where it goes tho....
