No return fuel = No turbo...BS!!!
So...whats the big deal about our cars??? RSX's are the same way...and turboing them is easy!! WTF?!?
The turbo kits I have seen for the RSX dont come with a return fuel line and stuff so if u can do it with the RSX no problem...why not our cars?

[hr]All RSX models are equipped with a blow-moulded, four-layer resin fuel tank that offers reduced weight, increased capacity, improved safety, and reduced emissions. Capacity is maximized because the resin tank can be moulded to fit around other components. The RSX also incorporates a returnless fuel supply system that helps reduce vapour loss[hr]

Rep Power: 395 Yeah, they have the same returnless fuel system that we do. Why do you say that turboing them is easy? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 It's been done, doesn't mean it's easy. There's several civics that have turbo with a returnless system too, and it was pretty hard to do it, but still it's doable.

Rep Power: 0 The RSX has a more durable engine and is only rated LEV as ULEV like the civics. This gives companys a little more leeway for designing mods.

The RSX's come stock with larger fuel lines and a much more powerful fuel pump...

Rep Power: 0 According to Honda's website, the 2003 S2000 is LEV, and the only reason I mention it is because it's probably easier to design mods with the lower emissions ratings in mind for CARB exemption. I didn't mean to imply that durabllity is related to emissions.

I don't think ULEV rating has anything to do with it. If a car spews X amount of fumes per minute, it still has to spew within a certain amount of that X number of fumes AFTER the turbo. an LEV car must remain LEV. ULEV must remain ULEV.

Rep Power: 0 There are turbo kits available for the RSX because it's considered more of a performance/sports car than the civic.
The returnless fuel system is easily solved by a piggy back fuel management system and bigger injectors.
