Their website shows it in development for the RSX (there's a pic of it mounted), TL, Accord & Si...but no TSX. Strange to say the least.

Haha, well if i had patience, then i'd be driving a MT and not an AT... ur right. but companies shouldnt tease us like that...

I wonder if they're going to wait for hondata because it sounds like the k-pro is a long long way off.

Last post on that tread was 8/11/2004, and now its 8/29/2004, the comptech guy aint have any updates?

funkbucket007

Yeah...I had seen that & the micro-article in SCC about it, but I just thought it was funny that nothing was mentioned about the TSX blower on their site.

Tsex on 19s

someone wanna contact comptech.... isnt a representative on this site already?

jiggaman

just relax, they'll release it when it is ready

Wess

I'll give them a call tomorrow. Doesn't hurt to call. Although I no longer own a TSX, It's still cool to know when the S/C is coming out.

Just caught wind from one of your vendors here on the site...

he said All 3 superchargers are on the testing cars (TL, TSX, RSX)..

TSX charger will be about $3200.00 retail..

and before his call waiting started beeping like a mo'fo, he said something about the chargers putting out more power than expected...

Sit tight... they will all be available soon... I just hope Comptech got their shit in order this time around because I waited over 45 days for my charger to get at my door.... AFTER I already paid for it...

jiggaman

sweeet!

jiggaman

so will a supercharger kit include everything you will need? or are there additional mods that will need to be made?

Smitty

with my CL-S, there was nothing that was a MUST HAVE for it to perform properly... but you might want to free up your exhaust since your going to be charging a good amount of air in, you want it out as quickly as possible...

and if you guys want to have some fun like I did, then maybe you should look into a DUMP.

you just need to know what diameter your piping is... and get it welded in... OPEN loud ass exhaust at the flip of a switch...

Smitty

I measured for an all stainless set-up that was a direct replacement for the Cat Converter.

I lose low end torque, but trust me, the car is a beast to launch off the line and keep the tires planted, so it really does not hurt me to lose the low end... so you guys who are dead set on it, might want to get the dump welded in after the Cat Converter...

okay lets stay on topic here.

jiggaman

that's sick!

Dan Martin

Smitty, what did you do as far as flowing extra fuel is concerned? Did you have to do any upgrades in that department or was the OEM ECU enough?

I guess I'm curious because if they're testing the S/C on the TSX already I'm assuming that the OEM ECU should be sufficient.

tsxondubs

i hope its as easy to put on as my girls jackson racing sc was and as easy to bump the boost up as easy also just swap the snout pulley to add 2 extra psi as long as the fuel and air are right go for the most psi u can ,i personally will get this if the #'s look good on it ,her rsx-s runs great with the 7 psi with jackson racing race header on it .would love to girl her a run for her money with a 4 door rsx (tsx) with comptech s/c ,hope it comes out soon , david

Smitty

you will probably get a piggyback ESM unit to tap into 3 ECU wires so the ECU(your computer) does not see BOOST... For you guys who get it.. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you solder the ESM into the ECU wires and you DO NOT use just the wire taps... about 4 of the CL-S guys had troubles with hesitation because the wire taps did not bite into the ECU wires.

The unit will more than likely come with a FPR (fuel pressure regualtor).and an UPgraded Willbro fuel pump....(.no need for an added injector).....so if they offer a HBP (Higher boost pulley) so you can see that extra 2lbs of boost ( WHICH will VOID your warranty, like it does for the CL-S guys), then all you need to do is adjust the fuel pressure regulator (bump it up a alittle so you do not get any detonation in the higher RPM range)....

In all honesty, I waited 1 yr after the charger was out before purchasing, just because I wanted ALL the bugs worked out... I researched endless hours of it, bought everything I needed (boost gauge, fuel pressure gauge, 51R smaller battery,etc.).... then did the install myself... I never put a supercharger on before, but I am really glad i researched the hell out of it, got some tips from the guys who installed theirs and picked up as many tips so the install went smoothly.....

Dan Martin

How long was the install?

Good info BTW.

Tsex on 19s

dang i cant wait.. good info

tsxondubs

the install on the rsx took about 4-5 hours total from start to finish so i hope its the same for the tsx so i wont have to have the car down for more then one day , david

Stokeless_TSX

more power than expected???wow sounds good =)...if they can get 300 whp or close...i might go for it if hondata doesnt hurry up....I still want my 400 whp but ill settle for 300 whp with out a standalone =)

Smitty

My install on my CL-S was about 10 hours, because I ran into some problems and needed parts overnighted from Comptech. The pin for the fuel suction filter was missing off of the Willbro fuel pump, the FPR hose had 2 fittings and one of them had no threads (was suppose to be threaded)...

I sent a pretty nasty letter to Comptech since I waited over 45 days for the Charger and then had those problems... I never got a response from them.... in due time if they keep it up they will do nothing but lose more and more customers.

jiggaman

will torque steer be a major issue with this mod?

Stokeless_TSX

hmmmm might be...need LSD =)

jiggaman

i thought LSD made torque steer worse too?

tsxondubs

damn if comptechs customer service sucks like that imma wait for jackson racing to come out with something ,they have been beyond helpful on everything for the rsx, if a parts messes up they will over nite it at not cost without even seeing the messed up part ,kieth and mike are awesome guys ,lend helpful info on whatever was the problem and get parts out and have them at ur door the next day before u even wake up , david

jiggaman

nothing worse than bad customer service.

xizor

yes, it will add a lot of torque steer, and yes a LSD will make it worse, but it will increase your acceleration out of corners.

xizor

I'm hoping on this install nothing needs to be moved, that should make the install much much easier. my roommate's jrsc'd prelude required moving the oil pump, and I believe the rsx requires moving the alternator slightly.

Tsex on 19s

How much WHP do you guys think we'll see with the s/c.... the power is the main thing the tsx lacks, ad this could do the job...

tsxondubs

only thing u have to do to the rsx is space the altnator and ac unit quater of a inch on each one to give the blower room to fit right in not a big deal take a bolt off replace it with anew one with a spacer on it

Wess

Damn, 300 WHP from the Comptech supercharger? Now that would be crazy, but really sweet. I hope the numbers work out for you guys. The TSX would be awesome with 300 WHP.

-Wes

Dan Martin

I think 300 is stretching it a bit too far. 250 to 260 would be more realistic.

Tsex on 19s

how much is the G35 puttin down to the wheels?

tsxondubs

my girls rsx-s supercharged is pushing like 280whp with race header,injen cai,custom exhaust without the reflash and not even race verson of supercharger

Andynolife

G35 puttin down abt 230 or a bit more WHP to the wheels ...
btw ... Dan the 250 and 260 u r talkin abt is WHP ??

Tsex on 19s

280 would be hot.. i think with a good flowing exhaust and some nice headers along with the injen cai.. we'll hopefully see the numbers the rsx-s w/ s/c has...
