New tires are a good start. make sure to break it in properly.

I'm not revving it over 3,000rpm until
I hit 1000 Miles. But, is that correct in terms of breaking it in.
Plus, do they make a turbo for my car.

Yes, aftermarket companies do make a turbo for your car. Save and buy only the best and you will be a happy man.

Do you know who makes it and how much,
Id rather save money for a turbo, than other mods that will
give me small improvements, thanks

The only kit out right now that I'm aware of is the Cybernations kit, and I think it's only for the S.

Supposedly they already have one out for the S, but I know it's not something a lot of people stock. In fact, most places who offer it say there's a 4-5 week wait period from the time you place ur order to the time it is shipped.

Honestly, you're better off waiting for other companies to release theirs. I personally wouldn't want to be the guinea pig.

Sweet and welcome to the RSX board!

I have a friend that has an 02 non Type-S with a turbo from Cybernation, he hasnt had an problems so far. Cars pretty fast too.

JDMFreak · 03-05-2003, 01:43 PM

congrats on the car... lol wanting turbo already heheh have fun

since your car's brandnew..enjoy it like that for awhile..you just freaking got it! if your really desperate to mod it...try blacking out the headlights yourself or like taking off the front license plate..dont change the tires yet, why get rid of something thats brand new? i say drive the car around for half a year..build up some miles on it...get pretty damn good at driving it..then start thinking about what kind of mods....thats just my opinion

icue927 · 03-06-2003, 11:13 PM

Thanks for the advice and info, the car is a jewel
the mods will come with time, just wanna know where im heading. Peace

The owners manual says no hard accleration or hard breaking for the first 600 miles but go with the 1000. Also to help you out don't change the oil until 3000 miles because the oil has special chemicals to help the engine break in better. It's hard to keep it slow in my type S I tell you that. Anyway good luck with the car take care.

I think Rev-Hard has a turbo out for the non Type-S at least thats what the magazine I read said and Jackson Racing has a supercharger coming out also but not sure for model and when.
