Base RSX. Motor build up necessary for 5-7 psi turbo?
Assuming I’ll actually have some cash next year when I’m married (yeah right
) and can afford a turbo. Would I need to build up the base RSX motor that has 9.8-1 compression to accept a turbo with only about 5-7 psi of boost? If so, then why do many companies releasing those kits say that you do NOT need to build up the motor to run their satge1 kits that feature about 6psi of boost? I’m really confused here on this one.
Did anyone ever put a turbo on the Integra LS? How was it? Was a build up necessary? Did it last or did the engine fail within 50,000 miles?
