400HP Boosted Acura RSX (DC5) Review

This week, we review Nick's big turbo Acura/Honda RSX/Integra. I used to be an owner of an Acura RSX and this definitely was not the same machine. The big turbo has completely changed the dynamics of the vehicle, making it more of a straight line monster that is beyond aggressive when in boost. Since it is the Honda motor, VTEC is still present, therefore making the boost unforgiving. This car is suicide without the LSD present. Watch the full review and tell me what you guys think...

I made 448whp, on my stock a2 in my rsx and I can definitely tell you 400hp is plenttttty power!

[@heavenalmighty1666]

jmont124 HELL yeah it is 😂

[@Kseriessuck]

Stock? So you did no internal mods? That's cool these honda engines can do 500 on stock internals

[@chief0120]

a2 what ?

[@Kseriessuck]

@@chief0120 rods, crowns etc I am assuming oem cranks can handle more than 500whp

[@MrAjhaley86]

I have an 02 type s and you just made me want to get it repainted and boosted.

[@branchtana315]

Love this car. My buddies and I were all domestic guys 10-15 years ago when we were younger and built street cars. From there I moved onto street bikes. Then kids happened.....LOL. Anyways, I've never been an import guy, but recently I've really got the urge to do some kind of import project. WRX STI seems like the most common way to go these days, but I've always liked sleepers and cars that were a bit different from the norm (my first build in high school was a Thunderbird SC). I've really been looking closely at RSX's as of late, and seeing this video makes me want one even more!

[@heavenalmighty1666]

Ohh man, you will not regret the RSX route!

[@daren9721]

Great video, my son is picking up his rsx this morning. It made 430whp 320wtrq . Your vid gives us a sense of what to expect. Thanks for the vid.

[@chaceschnaath638]

I have a stage 2 as well and same setup on my rsx but I’m completely used to it now so it’s not to hard, you have to wait at stop lights for the cars in front of you to go ahead to give you room lol

[@heavenalmighty1666]

Hahahah

[@joshhall6083]

You can still have power steering on a boosted rsx bc mine is boosted with power steering and ac

[@abeq281]

josh hall what do you have? I want to boost mine but I wouldn’t do it unless i have another car. I thought you’d maybe have to lose your pc and ac

[@grangran4118]

i was boutta say the same

[@msbs1813]

Bro tell me how I wanna turbo mine but I still want my AC to work

[@connorvannostrand5797]

Yo just got my first car but...it’s a corolla but imma try and turn it into a dream build did a few things real small doesn’t change performance but starting somewhere. I love watching your vids because I get ideas and inspiration from both u and the people u meet. Please keep up the work. 😊

[@heavenalmighty1666]

Connor Van Nostrand I really appreciate it bro! Express your inner art through your car. Be unique my man. Enjoy the build!

[@zackanderson2298]

so you just admitted to becoming a ricer

[@brentiaconelli6484]

A dude with common sense... Buy the car that comes with. K20 skipping the swapping headache

[@brentiaconelli6484]

Also in the end about the cost and a better looking car

[@Onelovej]

Exactly that’s why I got a fa5

[@lilmixdboy]

I have the rsx but I would prefer a clean Ek/EG k20 or k24 swap anyday Pretty much every other honda including Ep3s put the power down better than RSXs. You can see it from watching youtube videos

[@HarisRazzaq]

amazing video. I have an rsx type s and its so cool to see the potential of the car and what people are doing with it. Don't think ill go boosted though since its my daily driver but still boosting a stock k20 up to 400 is insane.

[@heavenalmighty1666]

Thanks man! And ohh yes, these cars have crazy potential and they're very underrated

[@thatdudesomeghost]

Jdm k20a rsx swapped into a base usdm 5 speed rsx k20a3 stock it makes 224 Na just a drive tune and it’s so much fun fr just got new clutch and 55k red top rsx k20a new seats and more to come hopefully boost in the near future

[@st3v3nb915]

100% true in regards to how scary it is. 450whp here in my type s and you can see me holding on to dear life lol

Poor dude is terrified. Lol.

[@heavenalmighty1666]

Shit was scary man hahaha

[@TheYakkis]

No worries brother. Seemed like a sketchy build for the street anyway. That much power is a waste in that car. Mine spins 3rd gear a little bit when shifting from 2nd and it's stock.

[@heavenalmighty1666]

@@TheYakkis that was the best part Hahaha being scared shirtless everytime made it that much of an experience

[@nichstancil7352]

My eg hatch is k swapped and it makes 471whp and I love it next year I’m making the jump to 600whp. I daily mine and it has a stage 4 clutch but it’s a breeze and my car weighs 2200lbs with me in it. It’s smiles for miles.

Would love to know what all you got to make your car so fast so I can do mine also. Please leave a list of the stuff and where I can find them, thanks.

Stage 2? You mean Twin Disk? Stage 2's are relatively mild.. At least my Exedy Stage 2 is.. Not the best daily clutch, but its nothing compared to a twin(aka calf-muscle builder) lol

What brand turbo is that

[@highthai7]

With that much torque steer is it actually easier keeping straight/control when doing a hard pull because of not having power steering?

[@dustin9258]

Did he just say nobody was doing much with the RSX platform? Lol Not to take anything away from his build, but people were doing this 15 years ago.

[@zahiremanuel9954]

What better engine can u put in it?

[@babyarm78]

Why the EP3 tranny and not the 6 speed gem? I would repair the 6 ASAP!! Next you should make it awd and up the boost alittle. That thing will fly even more!!

[@BurnAfterEating]

6 speed tranny is a better setup for a lower power all motor build, but the gears are way too short for boost. The longer gearing of the 5 speed tames the wheelspin and keeps you in boost without running out of gear.

[@jordanknoll2864]

Lol, when you ride a 10 second bike and some guy freaks out from 2nd gear on this. Lol. Had an interga that made over 400. It's fun.. but, a great rider on a 600 will take it from a roll.

[@ahmadamir1694]

@@simulatedpilot3441 too expensive to turbo I was just thinking to haggard install a nos bottle and only when someone wants to race use it. Probably gonna blow up the 3rd or 4th time doing it. I just dont have the energy or time to mod mine probably be a good idea to just sell it and get a car that's already some what fast.

[@stalinxxx22]

There is something wrong with that car . The steering wheel shouldn't move that much on low boost. It looks crazy to handle. My dc5 is also boosted pushing 400hp and my car goes straight and easy to control. The owner has to look in to that, because that looks pretty much unsafe to drive.
