When it comes to the Ultimate Honda debate, there’s bound to be hurt feelings. From all-motor, turbo, show and any other camp I’ve left out, there’s always going to be opinions. But consider for a moment Kevin Albarran’s 2003 950 HP Acura RSX Type-S, which very well could be the pinnacle of Honda street performance.
Thanks to the folks over at That Racing Channel on YouTube, you can check out the 950 HP Acura RSX for yourself. As you can guess, Kevin’s RSX is not messing around and you can check out his specification sheet in the video.
Backed by a JDM K20A and built to the teeth, this RSX means business. Turbocharged i-VTEC monsters are nothing new, but the power in the 950 HP Acura RSX is undeniable. Kevin has been able to net an impressive 10.44 quarter-mile, with a head-scratching trap of 148 MPH.
Inside the 950 HP Acura RSX
At the heart of this incredible street machine is a fully built and blueprinted engine by JBR Engines. Sleeved and stuffed with upgraded internals, the RSX is powered by a Precision 6766 turbo that’s pushing up to 45lbs of boost. Mated to a KLM turbo exhaust manifold, the K series vents excess boost through a Tial BOV.
When watching the video, one of the most obvious things you pick up on is the lack of traction. The 950 HP Acura RSX seems to spin it’s wheels all the way through 4th gear, which would explain the incredible trap speed at a relatively modest E.T.
Despite the impressive power numbers, the RSX still looks fairly tame to the untrained eye. That is until you notice flame spitting from the hood and the tires literally melting off the front rims upon acceleration.
While the 950 HP Acura RSX could technically still be called a street car, it appears as though Kevin is looking to take the next step. According to the TRC video, plans on upgrading the RSX to AWD could truly transform Kevin’s car into the Ultimate Honda.
