ive never seen a turbo RSX, but you should DESTROY an RSX with your SRT-4. they are mid 15 second cars...

BadStrat is correct again, No turbo comes with an RSX-S. I have seen aftermaket turbo's on them but you need serios $$$ to do it. I believe the RSX-S has around 200 HP and 240 HP with a Type R sticker

You shouldn't have much trouble with a stock RSX-S 6speed. They typically run low 15's@93mph. i-VTEC won't save it from Turbo torque the SRT-4 has.

The biggest problem with turbocharging the RSX-S is it's already high compression, you would be lucky to be able to run 3-4 psi boost without damaging the engine.

i raced a turbo rsx-s with a greddy turbo kit.. he could only boost 4psi and it was toasting his clucth on street tires he ran a best of 13.7 but i never saw it.. i raced him when my srt was stock and i would beat him all the way to the end of 3rd then he would chacth up.. i put a down pipe and 3 inch on my car and saw him at CMI in Sacramento and he could only pull 14.3's while i ran a 13.8 at best (91 octane california gas in +80 degree weather and a 2.2 60 foot on stock tires) i seen him about a month later and he took the turbo off and we raced agian and i destroyed him by about 5-6 cars there not all that fast even with a turbo. moral of the story is Cali gas sucks *** and rsx are slow

You should own an Rsx type s. A turbo could hang close, with a very good driver, but even then you have a good chance of winning.
