Add me to the list of upcoming Comptech Supercharged TSX's. I purchased the kit from Acura of Lynnwood for $3550 out the door.

They are also installing it this week for $830. I'll post pictures next Saturday as my car goes in Tuesday morning but I will be on a business trip until Friday evening.

For those interested in purchasing the kit for around the same price, feel free to call Rob @ 800-774-9893.

Congrats! That's the lowest price so far.

Johnny, I appreciated your willingness to install the SC but I figured for a couple hundred more, I could get the piece of mind that the dealership would honor the SC warranty since they did the install themselves. I will also get the chance to drive a TL or RL for the loaner ;-)

If you end up getting the SC yourself, $3550 out the door is a pretty good deal.

No problem. I might just pick one up at that price.

so what's the power gain anyway ? about 35 hp ?
so that comes to about $100 a pony hehe

fedlawman

The price is a lot more reasonable than I expected. It's a no-brainer as far as I'm concerned!

I'd love to see your TSX sometime (next Seattle meet?). If you're giving away ride tickets, I'm in line behind Johnny and 'Balwinder'.

seriously it's like you have a v6 under the hood, it's soo smooth

GSGOMEZ

Damn, that's pretty good deal!

I can't wait until next Saturday. He gave me a deal since this was their first TSX supercharger install and they had one in stock. Rob @ Acura of Lynnwood does want more aftermarket business so he will be very competitive on Comptech costs compared to the dealer in California.

balwinderismyuncle

Acura of Lynnwood does like moddded cars. In 04' they used to have this SC RSX Type-S sitting in the showroom.

cArKc

was 3550 including tax?? so the toatal of the sc kit plus installation is 4380 with tax inlcuded?? if so thats a pretty good deal and i just might have to call acura of lynnwood

and if the dealer is charging $830 for installation how much are you charging jonny?

Alin10123

Keep us posted! This is awesome.

Tsx536

And congrats on the Supercharger! That is a very good price! Looks like the SC population is quickly growing. That's awesome!

I just got my high flow cat on, and let me just say that it's a great addition. I'll post some pics later of it in my SC thread.

I actually didn't pay sales tax as my parents live in Oregon and I was able to have them pay for it and I wrote them a check back. Otherwise I could have had them ship it to OR for $60 but Rob was cool with just having my parents fax a picture of their driver's license and having them pay for the part. As for the install, $830 is w/o WA sales tax but I figured I saved a bunch on the part alone since the lowest I have heard people buying the kit for was $3700.

I'll let Johnny comment on how much he was going to charge me. I highly recommend him as he has done most of the aftermarket work on my car (header, CAT, rear sway, front strut, gasket, icebox, shortshifter, ...). He was charging less then what the dealer is charging me but I figured it was worth the extra cost for the piece of mind of the SC warranty in case something went wrong.

that's a nice deal man!!...i wanna see it!

since it's so close, maybe we should have a Vancouver/Seattle meet!!

Damn, $3550.00....nice deal. I wish the Acura dealership here in Hawaii would install it for me .. I asked and they said no.sucks..

PixelHarmony

Wow, if I can get that deal at the aucra dealership over in Cincinnati I'll take it! SC + Warranty is awesome.

Does Acura Honor a SC Install from a authorized Comptech installer? I know comptech will honor a warranty on the SC, but how about everything else?

moda_way

Are you in Cincinnati now? I know Superior Acura sold Comptech parts at one time.

sigmachi96

Acura of Lynnwood told me that Acura would cover any problems related to the SC install since an authorized dealership did the install.

JTso

iTrader: (2)

Make sure they have that in writing.

Tsx536

Very good point JTso.

I really doubt Acura will warranty anything related to the SC install. Comptech's warranty will be limited to the SuperCharger only if it's installed by a Comptech Authorized dealer. They will not cover any other part of your car.

sigmachi96

Exactly. Acura of Lynnwood is an authorized Comptech dealer and has done many RSX's, TL's and NSX's but I'll be the first TSX.

sigmachi96

Dropped off the car about an hour ago. I can't wait to pick the car up Saturday morning. I'll post pictures and my first impressions then.

They also provided me a TL with Navi. Definitely like driving the TSX more. I wish the TSX had a thicker steering wheel like the TL though. I like how the TL had thumb spots at the 10 and 2 position. I was also impressed with the stock stereo in the TL. Definitely is close to my aftermarket setup in my TSX.

Congrats on what sounds like a great deal. I think the next-cheapest price is the group buy that Excelerate has going right now.

balwinderismyuncle

Which dealership are you closer to? Bellevue, or Lynnwood? Or you just take your car to the Lynnwood one because you bought it from there?

I live close to the Bellevue one, but I will never go there. Been taking my car to Acura in Southcenter for 3 years now.

Tsx536

Awesome. This is going to be a long week
I remember it felt like it was for me when my SC was getting installed.
When they are doing the install, tell them to make sure to have the wiring going from the fuel rail to the main harness tied down to the tab on the side of the throttle body. When I was at Comptech last week, this is one of the things they did as preventative maintenance. I'll post pics and details of this in my SC thread later. If they don't do it beforehand, don't worry though, this is something very easy to do yourself after. And like I said it's just preventative maintenance, so it's not a big deal. You'll probably be fine even if you don't do it.

Looks like you are the 5th person with the SC so far!

Wow -- that many? I wonder if anyone posted time slips yet. My gut tells me that the 6MT's are a low-14's car with some good tires.

Wonder who will be our first '05 when it comes out soon?

sigmachi96

I live closer to Acura of Bellevue. I actually bought my TSX from Acura of Seattle but they didn't even want to bid on the business on installing the SC. Acura of Lynnwood just matched the cost of what Acura of Bellevue would charge and I went with Acura of Lynnwood since they have so much experience in installing SC on other cars.
