HKS Turbocharged Acura RSX Type-S

The question:
“Can the new Acura RSX be turbocharged and if so, how much power can be massaged out of the already potent 2.0-liter i-VTEC 4-cylinder?”
The answer: a resounding Yes!
HKS USA,
a leader in providing high-performance turbo systems and other performance parts for automobile enthusiasts had developed a prototype turbocharger based on HKS’ GT2835 model.
With a target output of 300 horsepower
(a 100 horsepower increase more than the Type-S),
the HKS RSX is capable of near-supercar performance.
In addition to the turbocharger, the car features an HKS Super Mega Flow intake and HKS’ F-Con S engine management system.
The ride height has been lowered with Sprint lowering springs in the front and back. The car rides on Racing Hart CP-035 R Wheels (18x7.5) and Proxes T1-S Toyo tires (P225/40ZR18).

The body features an Acura Accessories rear deck lid spoiler and side sills, and a C-West Front Fascia. Inside, the car boasts HKS 60mm electronic boost and EGT meters, and an HKS Turbo Timer.

The seats feature special embroidery by Katzkin and special trim pieces include custom titanium interior trim and an Acura Accessories titanium shift knob. The RSX also features a 6.5-inch widescreen LCD Audio/Video system, a DVD navigation system and a six-disc changer.
