I got excited about that too until I realized all of the other mods. He has the K20A2 (rsx-s)

I have ben using a modified ECU with an 8800 rpm rev limit. The engine has been dynoed at 18 hp over stock RSX. The irritating issue with the modified and stock ECU has been the rev limiter from a standing start. It is too low and prevents a goods start. Hopefully this ECU will fix it.

wow, you launch that high. I guess with an LSD you have a whole bunch more traction. Why don't you try to put the final drive from the si in the six speed. I'm assuming that it's possible because that's what the CTR uses.

What are you using for your header/exhaust? How about intake.
Hey, why aren't there any pictures of this car on your web site.

WE NEED TO KNOW MORE!

The big problem with launching is either you need to slip the tires or the clutch. With the revlimit so low when your stopped and sticky tires, it will not break loose the wheels. Until I load in a new clutch, I would prefer to slip the tires. Those EPs are a might heavy.

The car has AEM intake, Comptech header, RSX secondaries and cat, and a 5Zigen RSX exhaust. The muffler section had to be modified. A CTR one is on the way.

Pictures are on the new web site, it should be up and running soon. The car will also be on the cover of the December issue of Sport Compact Car.

The Si final won't fit, but the CTR one will, I have one on order.

Yea a ride ;) that is if you dont mind.I need to make a serious plan for this car,and since my old 00 was boosted,id like to try to stay N/A with this one and see what the things capable of.Funny story for you(well,rather lame actually).I was at Honda cars of Mesa one night MONTHS ago,looking for an 02,since no dealers I had been to yet had any.I gave up on my late night snooping around the lot and returned to my car,and was starting to pull away when i saw it....A friggin Black 02 driving RIGHT in front of my car leaving the dealership with one of the porters driving it.So i sit there and waited for it to come back,and when it did i just sat and drooled.Turns out to be HASports Si;i remember seeing it at the track the next night with like 40 mile on it.HAHAAHA/end stupid story/
