Goodbye Comptech, Helloooooo RevHard!

Coming soon, having a turbo kit made.

Comptech SC would have been nice, but all that waiting and wanting, has left me a bit soured to Comptech. Glad I wasn't able to get a header when I wanted one!

No, sorry.

A good friend of mine is setting it up for me, as he is "in"... I'm assuming they will just use the stage 1 turbo manifold and turbo from the RSX kit, with new piping and intercooler. 7-8 PSi on stock internals should be fine.

I'll update soon when I get the call back.

Would the RSX-S manifold fit the TSX engine bay? Headers are not compatible, so it would either need a new downpipe or a new manifold and downpipe.

We'll see... most likely the downpipe.

RevHard opts for Hondata to reflash or KPRO with some of their kits...

Otherwise, running everything else stock on 7psi isn't going to be an issue. Anyone know how much the injectors can handle? That's the only area I see that might be necessary to upgrade.

Yes but that stuff is not available for the TSX.

Yup, no K-PRO for the TSX, engine and fule management seems to be the bottleneck for everyone.

It'll just be like old school then, bolting the Greddy kit onto the SOHC 92-95s and calling it a day.

that's what i would be thinking too.

ONLY 7 psi is a relative thing.

that's still enough to screw up all your internals after all.

Why didn't you get Revhard to fab up a kit for you and use greddy emanage with a boomslang adapter.

I didn't want to go thru the hassle.... I still have my extended warranty, and didn't want to run anything that might compromise that. When Comptech decided to ditch the SC, that pretty much killed it.

Besides, now I don't have to worry about breaking my race car and not having a car to go to work in the mornings. Good car/Bad Car
