Finally reached the goal that I set out to do
It's been a hell of an adventure for me modding this car. But the moment I laid my eyes on other member's cars and their superchargers, I knew one day I wanted to have one of my own.
Not only was I able to purchase one, I was able to tackle the install on my own (with the help of a few buddies). It's definitely one of those things in life where you thought you could never have or do but you look back at it now and say to yourself, "why did I even thought it was impossible".
Well here it is. The final stage and state of my car.

It feels great on the road. Since this is a super charger, I get low end power very quick and easily. VTEC kicks in at 3000 RPM and then I make full boost at 5000 RPM. City driving has greatly improved and that's my favorite part.

That engine bay does indeed look like a work of art... not only beautiful but definitely functional. Like you, one day I will have a SC as well.
Who makes the SC and what did you find most challenging about the install? OBTW, kudos to you and your friends for getting it done the DIY way!

Everything else was straight bolt on with very few modifications. The only other modification was cutting the rubber hoses to correct length. CT-Engineering makes this kit for the TSX. I recommend going through HeelToeAuto or Excelerate here on the forums.

Thanks guys! It's been well over a year and I've already put a little over 20k miles on the super charger (daily driven). Weather is getting warmer so its not enjoying the free cold air that it had during the winter.
