Just a question here, I don't profess to know everything about turbos or anyting but, would't 30psi be too much for a 9.1 compression ratio?

Just asking.

Thanks guys for all of the words of kindness. The car is just straight out madness. I still have to take care of certain aspects of the car but at this very moment, damn. There really is no explanation of how the car pulls. Its simply amazing. But thanks again guys, keep shooting questions to me if you guys got them.

Oh and also, we havent taken it to the track yet because I need new driveaxles/tires because if we were to go now, I know the numbers at the track would be a big disappointment because grip just isnt there right now. Dont worry, its going to be taken care of in the near future and then we will hit the track.

Also, Im highly considering and trying to get the funds together on doing an eg6 with a k series swap. Now Im not saying I will but Im considering it. Have to see how things are gonna be played out. But its still a possibility. Well thats it for now, Ill talk to you guys later!

The REVO for the RSX-S is taller than for the Civic

in case your wondering, a Civic Revo works perfectly on a Type S trans, its just way to short for me given the miss-shifts and whatnot.

Paul as always, car looks amazing. i could only wish to get into a magazine.

How the hell do you afford this at 20 years of age? Are you just extremely in debt, rich parents, or some kind of internet wiz thats made some money? Also is this new issue of Modified Magazine out yet? Nice work I must say. Very nice indeed.

Hope? there has always been hope, just as there will always be a lack of funds for most of us. Money will make anything possible.

it all depends on the application, price range, and what you plan on using your car for (street, strip, track, or running from the cops)

i'm wondering what kind of fuel are you using now?

cuz K20 already require 91+ Octane (right?) so with the turbo kit, isn't the Octane rate too low ?
