Tsex on 19s

Dang Mr. Rogers, keep up with times, i kno your 45 by now, but Son is equivalent to "buddy ol' pal" in your grease lightning days.

And, no i dont have that type of money for the custom upgrade. Ill be goin for the s/c instead..

How much is this custom turbo set up costing you stokeless? Did you go with HKS? What ind of management are you going to be using and what size of turbo?

My buddy just got his RSX complete with his custom turbo set up, he went with HKS all the way. He's pushing 310 to the wheels. I'm curious to see what the TSX will make at the wheels with a turbo.

im running a T3/T4 60 trim stage 5 turbo. My setup well lets see i havent built the engine or upgraded fuel yet but lets look at this
Turbo=Free
Turbo manifold=Free
Waste Gate=Free
BOV=Free
Fuel pump=$150 or so
Boost Controller =Free
Intercooler =$800-$1000
injectors=$300-$400 depending on which size i get
intercooler piping=$250-$400 depends if i want to polish it as well
FPR=Free
for now i have a APEXi VAFC i just need to find out how to hook it up and it was=Free
Hondata Kpro is what ill run when it comes out.
So with all that im still running right about 2k...not everyone has this kinda of hook up..i got sponsored. So yea turbo fits my budget alot better than paying 4k for a SC with install and everything =) Hondata will bump my price up but i have a hook up with them as well so im not too worried about it. I have time...Im also waiting on a stage 3-5 clutch to come on the market before i do this. I will then get the flywheel as well and then we will see what i can do. =)

Problem with using "son" is that it also has a negative connotation. True it can be used in a buddy sense, but it can also be used to imply that you are better than the person you are using it on (especially when you use it on someone older than you). It looks like Stoke has given you the benefit of the doubt.

Hey Stoke, I know I asked you before, but what size piping you used on your custom exhaust? Was it 2.25" or 2.5"?

For another 10 grand on top of the TSX why didn't you just buy a G35 & do some inexpensive mods or get a used M3????

i wanna do nitrous next.

Wow not bad. 60 trim is freaking huge, I usually see a 50 trim being used in most High perofrmance applications. You got a lot of stuff for free, a lot of stuff that is expensive lol. Sounds good, I can't wait to see what you'll be putting down. I guess the Hodata K-pro will work well. How well can you tune with the K-pro? Most important part in your set up will be tuning, without that your screwed. The AFC will help for a little bit, but you will need the K-pro to see the gains or something different.

Ol boy is from the east coast...some of my friends are there so i hear that son shit once in a while. I really wanna wait for the K pro but if i have to just to get it running and there is a way i will use the VAFC II. Blown motor i dont think so. I been working on turbo cars for quite some time. Im not good with the Kpro never tried tuning with it. But i know a couple people that can and a few shops that are down to help out. Its great the way you can get sponsored with some stuff so it helps with the bill. Once i get a clutch and flywheel i will work on getting everything together. Thing that is bugging me is i really dont want to do the set up without the k pro...

Wess

I agree with you on that one. You can probably do it with the VAFC II, but I would wait for the K-Pro. That turboed RSX had a hard time running at times, they had to tune it and set everything up right. With a VAFC II you wont be able to do that. That's cool if you can tune well with the K-Pro. When the time comes I'm going with a UTEC or the Greddy E-Manage. My goal is at least 400 WHP, which is plenty for me lol. Good luck with the set up man and keep us posted. I can't wait until I see the numbers, that TSX will look hot and It will really make me miss my old car lol.

Comptech's website now has a pic of the RSX supercharger in the Under Development link. Funny they don't mention it's coming out for the TSX, but maybe it'll be the same part number as the 03-04 Accord.
