Stokeless_TSX

i might just sell them Johnny..I dont want to deal with this crap anymore...i have enough stress.

Wess

lol, Were you installing the turbo setup yourself?

-Wes

Stokeless_TSX

not by myself with help. The parts are being custom made for my car at this time. I don't know we will see how i feel about it when hondata comes out with a Kpro =)

crazy

Yeah, Cybernation MS has done wonder for the RSX, and the Gaurdian looks to be very good.

My question is how come the TSX is getting the Comptech SC before the RSX?

tsxondubs

my understanding its the same exact design same parts the manifold bolts right up to the tsx manifold so its pretty much the same thing as the rsx just gotta find a reflash for boost for the k24 ,its a waiting game on the reflash or kpro since there is cybernation with a turbo coming out soon,jackson racing coming out soon and comptech soon so its all waiting on a reflash or program such as the guardian but all looks good on all 3 of them just what u prefer more tubro or supercharger ,when they all come out then need a boost thread on here like clubrsx

gavinn58

i read on clubrsx that the rsx manifold had to be altered a tad bit, hence the delay for that car. there's a user on that board that comptech will be testing the supercharger on and he frequently posts updates to the rsx and tsx test cars.

Stokeless_TSX

well can the user that has had his car used for testing post some dyno figures??? or if he cant can he post a range so we know what to expect???

gavinn58

Unfortunately not yet since the blower isn't on the car yet. I'm sure the rsx guys will be asking for dynos though. That thread seems to have died down quite a bit since someone asked "what's hondata".

Smitty

I heard yesterday from one of your vendors that the RSX is throwing down 240-260WHP from the CT supercharger...

i am curious to see the Dynos and run one of them

Tsex on 19s

hp is great and all.. but this car really lacks torque... what type of tq numbers is that rsx throwin down

Dan Martin

I wish that people would stop worrying about torque. Don't even look at that number as it really is meaningless. A HP dyno graph showing HP to the wheels over the RPM range is all you need.

ClutchPerformer

Torque is good for bragging rights, though...

Lung Fu Mo Shi

With a roots-type SC you are not going to be low-rpm-torque deficient. Mainly the low end will be beefed up.

A flat torque curve span the broad range of rpm is more useful than simply "peak" torque numbers.

Wess

Your car isn't going anywhere without torque. One thing that helps my car is the 300 ftlb of torgue. With that I feel almost no turbo lag at all. I would have to say that the TSX really doesn't have a lot of torque, more toruqe would be helpful.

-Wes

Dan Martin

Obviously, but HP is a function of torque. It's far more useful of a figure to use than torque is.

Edit: Here's a great post on the subject that should help anyone who isn't clear on how torque relates to HP: http://www.acura-tsx.com/forums/show...8954#post28954

We should see higher numbers with the K24... can't wait to see the result.
I'm definitely getting a supercharger/hondata for my TSX. Imagine what the RSX puts down with Hondata & S/C.
Thanks for the info.

One thing though, rear wheel HP??

tsxondubs

someones got to be almost done with the sc by now since jr and comptech has been toying with them for like 3 months ,oh well hopefully something comes up soon , david

Dan Martin

JR said they have no plans for a supercharger for the TSX.

tsxondubs

i got money they have one and it will be out soon ,but they are not saying anything about it so they dont get slammed with e-mails about it,but if you think im making it up then jr dont have anything in the works for the tsx only comptech has one coming out soon , david

Tsex on 19s

hope we see more hp than that rsx... cause 230 whp is okay.. but not worth the money...

iamhomin

Since I'm planning to keep this car for more than 5 years, I guess I'll just envy those that have the S/C installed into their TSX.

The Hondata will be enough for me.

phirenze

iamhomin,
will installing the S/C decrease the life expectancy of the car?
(total mod noob)

provench

Yeah - are we sure SC = early death and low resale?

I know about 3 years from now if I still have the TSX ... I might be tempted ...well then again I'll take that 5-6K and put it towards the new TSX

mg7726

i'm skipping the s/c on this gen. i'll wait for either awd + ima tsx or the awd tl for a s/c.

I just got a return email from Comptech on the supercharger:

The kit should be ready by Christmas if all goes well. Keep checking our website for updates. Thanks,

Comptech

Dan Martin

Cool! I wonder if santa will be good to any of our members....

drkangel348

yesss comptech supercharger and hondata here I come!!!!!!!

JTso

iTrader: (2)

I'm afraid there will be a long wait of the Hondata... still no ETA yet.

drkangel348

One of the guys at my dealer who knows alot about Comptech (and NSX's) said the supercharger will be released December 16th for the TSX.

jonnerd154

16th....JUST after my birthday. Oh well, I'll buy myself a belated bday present.

BlackTSXer

which dealer in LA? heh and which guy? i wanna bug him too sometime

drkangel348

I forgot what his name was but hes like the service manager at Keyes Acura.

BlackTSXer

heh alright cool..thanks. cant wait till this thing comes out even though i plan on getting cybernations turbo.. i still want to see the gains the comptech sc will get...

Creaminz

I have some questions to ask you guys.
1. How much is the S/C including labor?
2. Same HP gain with AT?
3. If I get S/C for my TSX what would be the engine sound like?? Real Loud??
I have an Injen Intake on my TSX, and I think it's pretty loud...but wonder if S/C makes it louder?
Thank you. Can't wait...until December...

Dan Martin

1) The kit is similar to the RSX kit so it should sell for around $3600. If the ecu needs to be reprogrammed, your car may be out of commission for 3 days or so. The actual instal time should be around 10-12 hours. I've heard installation prices for JRSC kit on the RSX can range from $350 to $800 so it varies greatly from dealer to dealer. Here's comptech's page to give you some idea of what the TSX kit will look like: http://www.comptechusa.com/store/rsxsc.html

2) No word if it will be compatible with AT cars. If it requires an ECU upgrade, it might not be. The engine would produce the same HP as a 6MT but you'll put less to the ground because of driveline losses.

3) The supercharger will muffle the intake sound you get with a CAI but you'll hear a whining noise when you accelerate hard. There are a few videos of a supercharged RSX here: http://www.badog.com/

That's it?! I thought it was more than that.
