Hks Turbo

okay, well im bored. yes its firday at 9:51 pm and im at home online. wanna know something worse? im reading posts from another TSX forum
okay well now in all seriousness i thought some of you would like to check this out.

seems like this guy read in a honda tuning mag that HKS made a turbo for the TSX with some pretty nice numbers (370 WHP and 306 lb/ft torque?). Well it seems like HKS has no intention to make the turbo, then goes on to say that they would consider it if they got some feedback from the owners.

heres the thread its got a buncha places to contact HKS, if you guys have time or are interested check out the thread and send them a message (HKS).
heres the link http://www..com/forums/showthread.php?t=4508

sorry if its a repost....and mods, id like to keep this thread where its at, id like people to see it on the main page.....more eyes seeing it the better off we are.

there is another thread out there about this too.

i would have bought an exhuast from hks, but they never released one, trust me, i've been waiting for a hks or tanabe ultra medallion for over a year and a half.

not sure of how many people want a turbo.

i think jtso, stokeless_tsx are likely candidates, and tsex on 19s always wants something to spend money on.

good luck.

it's ironic, dzuy, because this is a repost:
https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17952

but if you read that thread, MemRheins told me that my post was also a repost, which it wasn't.

and somebody, please scan the article.

i thought i said it was a repost. the same contact info can be found in the thread where dan martin goes toe to toe w/ the guy who wants to email hks but has no intention of buying it.

<-- creator of this thread b/c he wants to keep the thread in acura tsx talk for exposure.

most experienced will see the new thread b/c they will see it in the new posts, by clicking on new posts.



good effort tho, so i will give rep for that.

I have th magazine, but no scanner.. sigh. To summarize the article it's just an interview with the HKS guys who did this one of a kind turbo. Talking about how good the TSX is and they're not planning on making this a production kit since it differs from the RSX a lot. They said 120 hours were put into the kit, including waiting time I guess for parts to arrive.

The numbers they put out 350 WHP and 306 were at 15lbs of boost. I think the Dazz TSX runs a lot less than that for practical driving purposes since an aftermarket clutch is not out yet. It wouldn't be able to handle all that power well.
