I don't know much about cars besides the basics and I am looking to Turbo charge my TSX. I don't know what I need to do it and money isn't a problem. I'm not looking to put CRAZY boost into it, but I want it to be significantly faster. Can someone let me know what parts, modifications, or at least the steps I would need to take to do so. I would really appreciate any info.

Welcome to the boards! As for turbo charging our tsx, there's useful information all over the place here. To start, use the "search" feature. It should help answer many of your questions.

Since money is no problem, you won't have any problem. Money makes problems go away.

Regular TSX owners have big problems adding a turbo to their cars because of a lack of engine management options. Try a search to see what issues they run into and see if your budget really is big enough to say "money isn't a problem".

The is always supercharging for $4400+labor from comptech (about 260-270hp and 200-210 tq at the crank). A lot of members went this route and were very satisfied with the results from this proven aftermarket upgrade.

Alright, since intalling a turbo requires a lot of engine management, what would be the easiest way to add some HP to my car without having to worry that I might be hurting my engine?

If you want big improvements, go with the supercharger (if money truly isn't an option)

seriously though, if money isn't an option - forget about turbo because it's too many headaches and ditch the s/c because you can have more hp/tq with MR. HEELTOE'S HYTECH SETUP! very rare, incredible build quality, and remain naturally aspirated as honda's were intended. check this thread out:

if money is not a problem.....why do you own a tsx?

I chose to drive an Acura because they are reliable cars and when I did research on BMW's and some those other luxury cars, I didn't like the results. I wanted to get an RL, but my wife likes the TSX so I settled for that. I'm not saying that I am super rich, I am just saying that I have set aside quite a bit of money to do some things to my car, and I want to make sure that I get the most out of what I buy.

If you really want Turbo...

Swap in a JDM K20, RBC manifold and the works. Then shove a HKS turbo kit for the CL7, also get the HKS engine management and get the mechanics to figure things out for you.

Go turbo. Trust me. Supercharged is okay, but you'll never think the same way again after you throw 8-10 psi at your car and see 400+ whp. K-series are amazing with boost. Since $ is no object, there are plenty of reputable engine builders out there that could build a bulletproof engine for you, and any good performance shop should be able to install everything and tune it properly. However, your stock internal motor will handle 8-10 psi no problem, if it's tuned well.

As far as engine management goes, KPro is what you want for a boosted K-series engine. Not sure if AEM offers EMS for our cars yet? I'm sure they do, but not 100% sure. A nice setup would be the block from your engine (k24a2), head from a k20a (JDM Integra-R) or k20a2 (USDM RSX-S), and tranny from either the Integra-R or RSX-S. k24 block has oil squirters, more counterweighted crank, plus you have added displacement, so it's really the best block for big power. k20a/a2 heads are the most free-flowing, however...interestingly enough...your engine (k24a2) has the most aggressive cams. You'll also have to do some changing around of some things such as oil pump, water pump, etc. if you go the k24/k20 route. Throw in a good clutch setup, maybe some better axles, and something like a GT35/40R turbo, and you'll have a pretty potent TSX

But yeah, a search will, I'm sure, yield you more info. I'm new on here and haven't used search yet, but this will get you started I guess.
