if you insist on giong forced induction, without doubt the cybernation kit is the way to go, i rode in alberto's car (very wasted, but still) and it felt like it was stock until he got on it, very impressed with how well it was tuned...not to mention that car rode the fuck out for being on 10 psi....road rage brings up a good point as well, if the car is a daily driver, and something bad happens, you're stuck without a car that would normaly be very dependable

if youre going with the cybernation "internals" to run a 50 shot....youre going with what? thier stage 2? ...... $5000....is it worth it??? do you want around 400whp?

if you have that kind of money do whatever you want...but id rather have somthing with 400Rwhp

but the answer to your question, Turbo or Supercharger....go turbo!

To have power and be legal, go JR or Comptech S/C, you can always upgrade to the race setup/pulley(illegal), but you can always downgrade.

For the most power, turbo. Cybernation is good, I've also heard/read good things about another shop, but I can't remember, right now.

Do a search on www.clubrsx.com. I'm telling you to do a search, 'cuz people ask that question all the time and there are enough threads covering it, already. You'll find threads with members saying why they chose their application, and what they wish they would've done and/or if they are happy with their setup.

Nice sig.

Do not go SC if you are lookin to be fast.

Do not go Turbo if you don't have money to spend.

Go with a nice SC61 and a similar setup to Alberto.

If you dont want to mess with it, then call Cybernation...drop it off and pick it up when its done.

If you want to save a few and get some better parts, then go with a Precision SC61, a nice tubular manifold, k-pro, and a custom FMIC, and whatever else you want. the SC61 is engineered for 1.8L-2.0L Hondas so I would chose that and I've installed 2, they're very efficient.

Finally, I wouldnt want more than 350whp in an RSX, its just not that practical, unless you like racing from 60mph rolls.

Rolls are for tractionless bakeries
