i was wondering .. because the civic si and the auto rsx both have K20a3 engine .. but si has a manual transmission .. is it possible to stick a turbo thats built for the civic si into an auto rsx ? if so , do you have to change anything ? do turbos have anything to do with the transmission?

 

If it will fit into the RSX, then you should be good to go. You just need to make sure you have space to stick a turbo.

 

I think you need to learn what a turbo is, how it works, and where it goes. You can "Stick" a turbo onto anything, but its not a good idea.

 

i have a decent idea what turbos are but .. since there are turbos for type-s ... i mean why wouldnt a turbo fit for a base rsx?

my question still is that the civic si and the auto rsx both have K20a3 engine .. but si has a manual transmission .. is it possible to stick a turbo thats built for the civic si into an auto rsx ? if so , do you have to change anything ? do turbos have anything to do with the transmission?

greddy sells the exact same turbo model for si and rsx-s ...
HON CIVIC SI 2002-on T517Z cast manif. w/ e-manage & 440cc inj.
ACU RSX Type S 2002-04 T517Z cast manif. w/ e-manage & 440cc inj.

i dont think it will not fit .. btw are greddy turbos any good ?
