me,
We do have plans to offer a blower kit for the Acura TSX, possibly by
the end of this summer. In the meanwhile, you can check back for new
updates or visit our website which should be going through a change within the
next month or so. Thanks.

nice....but its gonna be around 4500?? jeez

Dan Martin

Good news!

Delmiroc

I'm guessing $3900 and it would probably put down 40-50 whp

provench

So is this REALLY worth it? That's a lot of $$$ ....

Helicobacter Pylori

That's a lot of crack to get me all hallucinated about extra 2000hp

Delmiroc

for that kinda money... Hell NO!!! ... not to mention it would completly void your warranty

but I asure you that there would be many people buying this Supercharger

Zapata

220-230whp 210fltbs of trq? OMG......I'd find it difficult not to get a S/C TSX.

Dan Martin

If you have the kit installed at a Comptech dealer it will not affect your warranty.

Zapata

def, it's a dealer to dealer per case basis.

That is a lot of money...but I think that for the added torque you'd get, it might be worth it. Add some basic bolt-ons and some proper engine management to achieve around an estimated 75 hp improvement at the crank. It's a lot of money but if you have it, might be worth it. I don't so I'll just wait for Hondata.

ctsport

Great news! Makes me want to buy a TSX now.

that fits into my budget a little better too!

Dan Martin

Actually if it's a Comptech dealer, they have an agreement with Honda. I was surprised but Kurt confirmed it for me here: http://www.acura-tsx.com/forums/show...6&postcount=16

sounds good.. and how exactly is hondata gunna give us more?

Dan Martin

More what?

Tsex on 19s

oops, i meant more HP for the buck... and how much Hp, and tq increase will we be seein with the hondata again?

Dan Martin

With an ECU it's pretty hard to predict horsepower and torque gains. You could look at the RSX gains as a suggestion but there's really no comparing the two. Most of the gains will be seen in 0-60 times because when they lower the VTEC point you'll be able to keep it on the high cam for the 1-2 shift.

I would say smoother power band and flatter torque curve from maximizing vtec crossover point, fuel maps and ignition timing.

So, with a S/C, Hondata, and full IHE, is it possible to put down 250 hp to the wheels?

Dan Martin

250 to the wheels is like 290 at the crank. Considering there has already been a 350hp turbo I don't see why not. Whether or not the clutch can take that power is anyone's guess. LSD is a must for that kind of power too.

Tsex on 19s

Damnm now that would be fun to drive... how light is are car compared to others, such as the Accord, 350Z, etc.

Not light in general. Similar to other accords. the 350Z is actually pretty heavy for a coupe, but the TSX is still more

Zapata

350z 3247lbs
TSX 3241lbs



350z is a pig.....way to heavy for what it needs to be.

provench

Wow - I had no idea how heavy the 350z was ... G35C is 3435 ... FYI ... but you get a back seat over the 350Z

Zapata

yeap, 350z is heavy for such a small footprint......g35 is 3445 w/o driver. Pretty much the same as the CLS.

Tsex on 19s

so, with these mods, how would our speeds compare to those cars (z, G35, TL)?

xizor

maybe close to a TL, that's an easier comparison since we're both FWD

Dan Martin

Some quick calculations show that the TSX would need about 220whp to match a TL in the quarter. A supercharger + hondata + I/H/E should be able to put out about 240whp which would yield quarter mile times of about 13.8 @ 98.3mph. That's pretty fast!

Dan Martin

I just found this link: http://www.syclone.freeserve.co.uk/rivals_cars.htm

If you take my hypothetical supercharged TSX, it should hang with a 1994 NSX or a 2000 Lotus Exige in the quarter mile.

corbs

Zapata

ah no Not even close mang.....

3 reasons:

1- NSX gearing....much better than TSX.

2- NSX will pull sub 2.0 60'ft times and will kill the TSX off the line

3- NSX power numbers are VERY under-rated

xizor

yup, hooking up w/ a FI FWD can be very difficult b/c of wheel spin and wheel hop.

xLusi0n

TL and NSX = V6 = more torque and better power curve.

Tsex on 19s

what about 0-60 times.. how much improvement do you think we'll see with these bolt ons n super charger? When it comes out, are you guys gunna get it, or wait to hear from others experiences? Also, will other companies bring out blower kits as well? I hope they do, cause the super charger is kinda pricey, comptech needs some competiton to lower them prices. One more question, I dunno much about super chargers, but how expensive is the maintenance on it?

xizor

IMO, it has less maintence than a turbo b/c you don't have to worry about oil pressure, and there is less parts that could break.

Zapata

well with FI you can always launch into the fat part of the power curve and with a eaton S/C no worries about lag etc.,
