What movie? Sounds like a VW tuning movie ahahah.

And Master... manuals arent that hard to drive. You just have to "be one" with the car and feel the shift.

This car is my first manual and Ive only driven it for 9 months now.

You can gas it all the time, you just need to use the clutch pedal to shift/control your acceleration from a stop. The most important thing is matching the RPMs when the clutch is out to where they ought to be if the clutch was engaged witht he motor. Then its all smooth sailing (see sig)

Red top is far over priced, its like 2,000 more for 20more hp. When you could just do bolt ons on a regular H22 and make more than 20hp more.

I love the H series.

Stock H22 makes about 165whp. With just bolt ons and a tune I got mine up to 191whp.

ORIGINAL: finch13

I dont think there is a supercharger for the f23... I know Comptech made one for the V6, but it was discontinued when they went under.

As far as what she said, with any forced induction, you need to upgrade a lot of things depending on what amount of boost or pressure you run. You have an AT that will probably crap out pretty quick with boost, Id look into a manual swap first and then go boost.

You can run about 8psi on stock internals, that skeetingclaybird kid on here (and V6P) was allegedly running 11psi on his V6. Your F23 has Fiber Reinforced Metal (FRM) cylinder sleeves, so they cant handle as much pressure as, say, an F22 with iron sleeves could.

If you really want to get creative, you could swap in a J32 or J35 V6 with a CL-S 6speed manual and forget the boost. Thats a looot of power there.
The F23 has iron sleeves. Only the H22, F20/22C and I believe some of the NSX motors have FRM sleeves.

The sleeves have little to do with the ability to hold pressure.
