Ive seen the RBC dynos paired with cams and also a 3inch exhaust....however I have yet to see the real-world results of an RBC on a stock k20a2 with an intake, headers and either stock or aftermarket exhaust (kpro is a given)

does anyone have any useful experience or information on the RBC used on an internally stock k20a2? is the RBC only advantageous when used with cams? if I want to keep my engine INTERNALLY stock should I just wait for supercharger or will an RBC really let me see the fabled 225-230 whp (once tuned of course).

once again on an internally stock k20a2....

You will see ~225-230whp from a RBC, stock or 70mm TB, 3in exhaust and GOOD QUALITY header and a good tune. Could have spent 5 mins researching to figure this out.

Obviously the supercharger will yield higher results.

As stated in the original post I will not be using a 3 inch exhaust...ever. and I have an OBX header which has turned out to be a great performer.

just don't know if the money and time will justify the power im going to get out of it....might just buy some kteller piping and piece together a custom exhaust like most of these guys and get dyno tuned and save up for that SC

thanks man..ive read the shit out of that already but he wasn't using a k20a2 he had a k20a..says so in the first page....also might have been why his numbers were so nice.

I just installed a RBC and Hybrid Racing 70mm throttle body on my 05 type s. I already had CAI, DCsports race header and Invidia q300 exhaust. I just got it tuned on Ktuner and it put down 227whp 162tq.

THANK YOU. good numbers...

virtual dyno or what?

 

[DC5morgan]

It got tuned by John Kerr on a dynapack dyno at Innovative Motor Works in Carlisle, PA.

 

[maverick_dc5]

dyna pack is the one without the wheels right???

and how does the car feel? more responsive? laggy at lower rpms?? slower down low? faster up high?

 

[DC5morgan]

Yes the dynapack is the one where you pull the wheels off and bolt the dynapacks to the hubs of the car.
The car feels great, the only issue im having is a high idle, which from all my research is due to the hybrid throttle body. Vtec was lowered to 4500 so the car starts making power and pulling a lot sooner then before. But I would say it maybe lost a slight amount of responsiveness but barely even enough to notice. It definitely pulls harder the entire way through the RPM range. Its not laggy at lower RPMs and from what I can tell the car is just faster and way more fun to drive all around.

I was gonna go get tuned by him but why did u use ktuner and not kpro?

 

[DC5morgan]

I used Ktuner because its a fraction of the cost that I would have had to spend to run Kpro lol
