I was wondering if I could get my hands on a turbocharger that would fit into a 1997 3.0 CL. The reason I'm asking is because I have a friend that worked for ACura for about a year and a half. He said that the engine bays in the 1997 model year 3.0 were too small to fit a turbocharger because of the way the exhaust manifold was shaped or something. I've also heard that nobody has fabricated a supercharger kit for the 1997s either. Is this true? Is there any method of drastic forced induction availible for my car?

 

Accord SUpercharger, 2000-2001 Fits I belive, with slight modification.

Go to a reputable shop if your REALLY intrested that knows what their doing and they should be able to do it..

 

how much would this cost?

 

3500-6000

Depends.. Not sure.

SC Kit is 3500 itself, then your figuring 1-2g's for install/customizing

 

and how much extra hp would i gain from it?

 

i've also done a little research on superchargers and i found out that a the accord 3.0 v6 has a supercharger available, i would think that it would into a cl but not sure possibly w/ minor adjustments and mods it could work!

 

Comptech has one that will fit. It's around 4K for about 40 HP. You can custom fit any turbo or supercharger to any car though. But you are then responsible for all the R&D. If you know what your doing it can cost little. If you don't, expect to pay big $. The weakness will be your automatic transmission, it's junk.

 

anyone know where i can get a turbo for my 98 2.3 cl auto?

 

try a f-max turbo kit, some dude on here was pushing about 253hp from it

 

YOU GOT MY AVATAR!@!@!@!@!$@#$!#$%!@#$%@$#

 

hahaha

 

A guy quoted me $1000 just for the piping minus headers you still have to add the i/c turbo blowoff wastegate. The supercharger is a ripoff unless you got the $$ to get one. Jackson is suppose to be in the works of one but who knows when that will come out. But i aint doing nothing untill they find a alternative to our weak auto tranny.

I'd really look into serching www.v6performance.net under the honda av6 section they pretty much covered everything on this topic. There is a guy that has successfully swapped a cl-s 6sp with the j30 and its supercharged they claim the whp is suppose to be around 300. Refer to this thread http://www.v6performance.net/forums/...9997&forumid=7

 

aww.. its not cool to copy avitars .. its what makes the person unique

 

no kidding man........

 

 

40hp? Most V6 Accord guys are getting 240-250hp to the wheels, and I know of one that is almost 260whp.

 

rmstoico had a supercharger in his 3.0 i think. but it kept goofing up so he got rid of it

 

cldriver has the Comptech SC in his 3.0

 

w/ the upgraded pulley


most those guys are dynoing around 200 anyways cause they have all mods prior to the SC (headers, exhaust, pulleys, etc)

 

does anybody have any ideas they could give me to mod? right now, im thinking about underdrive pulleys, 68mm throttle body, throttle body spacer, a cold air, an exhaust ( i dont know who makes them for my car!!!) and thats about it for now... does anybody have any brands they could suggest or other parts to recommend upgrading?

 

depends what your budget is.

 

at that price maybe a h22a is a better choice.

 

how you figure? 253 to the wheels vs 150 something?

 

my budget is about 2k as of now

 

I meant for a 2.3. 2g at first but u can get alot more hp out of that in the future. for 3.0 not too worth it because of the high cost.

 

The 3.0 would be worth it if they came up with a rebuild kit or a new tranny that would handle big amounts of hp. For 2g's you could make a low 14 high 13 sec 3.0 I think thats more worth the 2g's then the h22 swap. Leaving you with around a mid 15sec car.

 

Would a tranny cooler help with the extra hp gains from a supercharged 3.0. I want a comptech s/c!!!!!!!!

 

Yup external tranny cooler and filter will help it out more but the life will be shortend because of the added torque. Im gonna go with a custom turbo setup when i have time and $$. I just think its stupid to spend 4k on a s/c with a set amount of boost. I priced a custom turbo setup and it ran about half of the price of the s/c plus you can adjust the boost to fit daily driving to full out race car.
