I only know of a Cybernation kit on an RSX-S.. the car itself is quick.. but he's gone through 2 motors. It may be because of the huge amount of back pressure though. He prioritizes the "sleeper-look" over a healthy motor.

A local guy was their first base RSX turbo (cover of Turbo Magazine). They let him drive the car home from Florida (to Delaware) without an intake. Very ghetto-looking turbo kit, and the kid's had nothign but problems. Took his car back down to get their next "stage" and they had the car for months. He's got it back (again, no intake), but he's had nothing but problems and I don't think the thing even runs.

Personally, I'd avoid them. If you're looking at a turbo kit, I know Ultimate Racing makes one for the S that I've seen in person - seems fairly decent.

That's a raging debate. Do you're research, you will see that the Vortec kit puts out a little more power, but is a little harder to install and costs a little more. Either way you are getting reliable horsepower. Good luck!

cybernation sources a lot of parts, like the turbo manifolds from other shops such as south florida performance and budget auto.

you might as well deal with south florida performance, budget auto, or cartek tuning (a certified honda shop that currently has a fully built / sleeved turbo project s2000 - with mustang independent rear susp.)

ive worked with budget auto and paul, the owner makes awesome manifolds and can do all kinds of custom work. ive seen him making rsx manifolds for cybernation - his shop car is an 85 corolla ae86 with a 3rd gen 3sgte - he fabricated all motor mounts and transmission mounts, intake manifold and exhaust manifold - runs a 25g turbo.
i bought his old ae86 from him that was unbreakable.
