I sent an email to Comptech inquiring if they have any plans in the works for the RDX. I figured I'd get the standard "We don't currently have anything available for the RDX, but keep checking our website..." What I got was just slightly better in that that they said "yes we do have plans for the RDX, but we are not sure to what extent".

Who here would pay $4-5k for a supercharger that delivered say an additional 50HP to the wheels? Can you imagine 300+HP in the RDX? Can you imagine how bad the MPGs would be then?

I imagine they will develop an intake and exhaust system first. I'd be interested in that. Maybe some suspension work and brakes too.

4-5 k would be way too much for only 50hp more... my evo gained around 20 for just a pair of 600 dollar cams... exaust and intake would give you another 10-15 maybe even 20 with full piping and a compture... it should go way beyound 60hp for less then 4k

i would LOVE comptech mods... only like intake headers exhaust strut n rear sway maybe a drop... not a supercharger though... can u even put a supercharger on a turbo car?

Skeandhu

I was wondering the same thing... maybe a supercharger to replace the turbo???

Maybe some better exhaust plumbing... larger diameter up / down pipes, better free-flowing cat-back, etc...

(I'm new to the Honda world, so I don't really know what Comptech does... sorry)

Probably would make less power with a supercharger than with the factory turbo.

you can supercharge turbo cars... i know some evo's and sti's who do did it.. with a huge turbo and a small supercharger the giant turbos would actually spool faster... those cars were pulling around 700-1000 hp hehe

Sasair, that is great info. I would love to get an intake and exhaust. How does that affect the factory turbo I wonder. Comptech makes high quality stuff. Now a supercharger would be awsome but I have to sell that one to the wife fist.

sasair

Also comes the question of invalidating the warranty...

chyllintsx

fist? or first? hahah

rdx4fun

first lol

chyllintsx

oh whew lol, but yea... i would actually rather get the comptech exhaust and injen intake, i didnt really like the ice-boxes for the tsx... sounded weak and didnt look like a "mod"

its just too quiet and looks like stock.

you'd be glad when the cop ask you to pop the hood.

sasair

Wouldn't matter, both intakes are street legal....

I hope that comptech comes out with a big brake kit. I would buy that. That is one thing that the RDX slacks in my opinion is brake feel when slowing from high speeds.

pandaboi

instead of a break kit we could just get better lighet rotors that wont fade.. and some break pads, maybe stainless steal break lines =)

chyllintsx

very true, although i was extremely surprised that the rdx had 2 pistons in the front =)

chyllintsx

well like sasir said its legal and i never got pulled over with mah tsx with mods cuz of intake, it was exhaust ... damn dc sports... so i got a comptech one...
