Hey guys,
So my I've been looking around alot at other cars in the market and I feel like I like my RSX better than most cars out right now. I have about 10k saved up and I wanted to do something to my RSX so I can keep it for a long time without worrying about it as well as being able to keep up with the newer cars in the 300HP range . I'm planning on rebuilding my engine with the money but I'm not sure which direction to go. Im thinking 300-450 WHP or even less depending on price of full build and how much $ I'd save with a bit less HP (at least 260 WHP) so that I can reliably drive my car as a daily.
My current mods are :
CAI
RBC IM, 70mm TB
Vibrant 421 race header
2.5" custom exhaust
Vibrant resonators
Vibrant flat black muffler
Ktuner & tuned
Hasport engine mounts
Mugen SS
Currently at 212 WHP
175,000KM
K20Z1
I have the eibach sway bar kit, Neuspeed xbrace, S2 LCA & BEAKS tie bar for suspension upgrades not sure if they will help much
Tbh I'm a noob. I don't do any of the work myself and will be paying someone to rebuild my engine.
I got a couple quotes for a couple builds and they say I'm looking around 5-7K for a engine rebuild with forged internals including porting job and valve adjustments etc.. depending on if I want to go NA or TURBO in the future.
I'm planning on building for turbo but I feel like NA is more reliable ??
Also looking at possibly buying a used TSX engine and doing a Frank build with the TSX block with upgraded internals so they can work on the block first and then work on the head after ?? I found a TSX engine for pretty cheap (500$) with high km but does it matter because I'm rebuilding it anyways ?
Also thought of just getting a bare block ? Not sure , have never done this before.
Not sure where to start or where to go. Would like some advice from people with experience.
I know there are lots of threads on this
I've just been reading for too many hours on this and I need more specific advice tailored to my needs.
What do you guys think ?
