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?

 

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.

 

Also comes the question of invalidating the warranty...

 

fist? or first? hahah

 

first lol

 

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.

 

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.

 

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

 

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

 

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...
