My mods finally arrived! (pics.. no 56k!)

I guess xmas came early for me this year Here are some pics of the things that FedEx just dropped off at my doorstep today. I plan on installing all these items myself, so have a lot of work ahead of me. The only part I'm still waiting on is my A-spec suspension kit, which should arrive sometime next week. I really would like to get some new wheels/tires next, but will have to save up some funds first. I'm just lucky my wife let me get these parts in the first place



This is my favorite!

I plan on installing my suspension first (once it arrives), and then trying to tackle the supercharger install. I'll post updates as my installation progresses.

W/the $ it cost for that s/c & the little bit of gain you get, you'd be better off turboing it or spraying it.

How much do you think it would cost to turbo the TSX? What do you use for engine management?

Nope, no messing around here. Just decided to go for it! After having my car stock for over 2 years, figured it was due for some upgrades.

Same $ or less than he paid for that overpriced blower.

Anything can be tuned.

You still didn't answer the question as to how you would tune the TSX to safely use a Turbo kit or NOS. Give us some specific details instead of just making a general statement.

God machine really knows what he's talking about, I wouldn't question is knowledge. Remember he's the one just a couple days ago who didn't know if our cars could handle "spray." Now he is a TSX super tuner with expertise in "spray" and "blowing."

Well, he's certainly becoming an expert in blowing...

No one has successfully turbocharged a TSX while retaining the DBW system. The engine tuning options just are not available and the piggy back units just don't cut it.

$4,000 for 80 hp is about right, $50/hp. And, since anything can be tuned, I'm anxiously awaiting your programmable ECU for the TSX.

Damn GodSmack, you're just making all kinds of friends. You might be better off listening to JTso than questioning him.
