It looks like it's for all RSX's and 2002 Si's. They have the same engine. Just slightly different internals, so it shouldn't be a problem to produce one kit that encompasses them all. I guess that's what HKS did. 270 h.p. is good for the 2002 Si, but I bet that horsepower figure is on a RSX Type-S. Only a 70 h.p. increase.
On a side note, it looks like HKS will release a turbo manifold for our cars! Now that's good news!

I don't know, maybe I'm misunderstanding your question, but...
1. HKS will offer a turbo manifold for 2001 and 2002 Civic EX. The cast manifold will have a T25 flange and will be available in the winter, pricing still yet TBD. Using a GT2510 turbo, upgraded (return) fuel system and intercooler, the prototype manifold helped produce over 200 h.p. at the wheels.
I think that answers the question...

uuhh... I asked about the RSX TYPE S... I am saving all I can to purchase one or if I hit the lotto the 350z. But that is on the works... Now as far as our cars that is alot of HP... almost too much of a gain. They must mean with beefed up internals.. I mean what 85 horses to the wheels... @ 10PSI (just a guess)

My only response to this is that it really amazes me how long it takes for the aftermarket to develop and market items for our cars. These are one of the best selling vehicles out there, and you would think that it wouldn't take 2 years to come out with a simple turbo upgrade with all the equipment that is out there for other vehicles. All that matters is that it is coming out, and more and more people will be able to develop and tune these systems........
