So long...they just got complete w/ a lot of projects for the RSX...and it's been out how long? Long R&D = better products if you ask me. Kick back and wait and you be 100% satisfied when it does come out. Patience my friend, patience....

So question ... for a car like the TSX ... if the SC puts down like 30-50 WHP (or whatever) are we talking torque steer issues? I mean ... this is no 260HP CL-S we are talking about here so figured we might have some room before the torque steer gets too serious.
If Acura does do anything exciting with the TSX (like IMA AWD ... which is pretty likely in the 4 year time frame) then I might just fit up my TSX with a supercharger/turbo. Cause my TSX will be 4-5 years old with 50-60K miles ... still a baby

won't be too bad.....trq steer......or bad chasis design as Car and Driver so incorrectly likes to claim....

It can be done just won't be able to run highboost. CLS runs fine....just can't go over conservative 5PSI.

is amplified by LSDs on FWD cars.

Any resale considerations?

k24 should respond well to a S/C. I would suspect a good amout of trq increase which is wha t the TSX needs more than HP. .5 second increase withouth issue if the power numbers are similar to the RSXS. If the S/C could apply another 30-40ftlbs of trq.....the TSX should be in the mid to high 14s. Resale....welp unless you find somebody who wants a S/C TSX....you'll never recover the cost. Best just to have it uninstalled and part it out. You'll make more money.
looking at the dyno plots the S/C will make the TSX into a completel different car. Power will be had at much lower RPMs making the car a JOY to drive. TSX being a lighter car helps alot too.

I'll wait for it to be fully hammered down.

yea turbo = more power up top but TSX for daily driving IMHO.....S/C is better. Big power=big lag. Around the town having the S/C put the power down right away would be great.....

I'm coming from a car that has 210fltbs trq on tap....albeit heavier.....
Up top the trq will help in passing people on the highway..........especially with people in the car. The S/C will all that flat trq line to continue instead of fall off.
Yes def the TSX does have ADEQUATE trq for daily driving.....but the S/C would hopefully add 30ftlbs or so accross the board? That would give about 180flbs @ wheels? 3241 lbs car that's pretty good.
Unless Comptech goes with a Centerfugial blower.....the power increase will be pretty much the same throught the power band; which for this car is fantastic.

there a lot of benefits to a SC, of course the power band, instant response. but if your car is your daily driver, there is a lot less to worry about. less tuning necessary, less parts, less to break, but less potential. i think its a good upgrade for an everyday car, everyone I know with big aftermarket turbos usually end up working on their car as much as they drive it (which may not be a bad thing for some gearheads).

Everything is true except the less tuning part. Jacking Racing produced a standard SC package with low boost (6psi) but later decided to team up with Hondata to provide a better solution. Just about every JRSC experienced tip-in detonation problem from their standard setup due to instant power but lack of tuning capability and the appropriate fueling to address it. One of the main problems is high temp generated by the blower and no intercooler to lower the intake temp and it causes detonation problems.
