Oh Canada. That makes a bit of sense.

 

It's not about the age, it's about the condition/ware & tare.

 

<bad spelling shudder>

Wear and tear. An undesirable thing for sale doesn't make much sense here.

 

can we stop talking about M3's and get back to the details of this turbo setup?..
lol.

 

wow props to u. def keep us posted!

 

What's up people, still playing the waiting game for a couple of more parts and off to the dyno. Just my about the whole M3/TSX debate, I know the price of M3s and TSXs vary but the look on the face of an M3 driver as he's being walked by a TSX is PRICELESS.

 

my thoughts exactly. Hope to see some good dynos/more information on engine management in the upcoming future!

 

can we get some better pictures of the setup? Can we get a picture of the turbo and exhaust manifold?

 

Lots of props for what you've gone and done under the hood of your car. I respect the work put into it and the ingenuity.

 

LOL

 

Ask and you shall receive.










Kudos as well to your TL.

 

JDMCL9T, i'm sure we all appreciate what you are doing. I think this will be VERY big for the TSX community. i'm looking forward to getting more details.

 

So far everything has been done in my garage at home. The fabrication in '05 was done at a shop and the only other things I need done by a shop is the exhaust system and tuning.

 

any videos?

 

did you have to do a lot of rearranging in the engine bay to fit everything, or was it minimal?

 

Only thing needed to be relocated was the battery tray but it's still in the same location, turned slightly.

 

You never answered my pm about the rear window spoiler.

 

You got PM

 

ttt, any time frame on when the dyno is getting done?

 

any updates??

 

If everything goes as planned, the car should be on the dyno early/mid next month.

 

in for info !

 

Fairly promising. I own an A/T for various reasons.. I realize our transmissions are garbage, but what's the reasonable gain for an A/T if one were to sacrifice amenities for this option? It sort of seems dumb to spend lots of money on mods you can't fully utilize but then again, you don't want stuff to break because you're greedy..

Just having zero knowledge of this stuff, is it even possible for an A/T user to run some more power without problem?

Oh this is all assuming the lack of traction control, etc didn't affect the transmissions operation.

 

almost forgot about this thread. thanks for the bump

 

I don't believe that our transmission is garbage. Could you please elaborate?

 

actually there aren't many examples of this happening so this is a big deal. especially if all he lost was traction control and cruise control.

 

maybe he meant the AT transmission is not as reliable as the MT for the purposes of turbocharging. you can turbocharge an AT. you probably just can't boost it that much.

 

How is that dyno looking?

 

any updates?

 

This seems like the project that will never materialize...

 

Since when we can Turbo I car ?????????????????????????? I havent been for a quite a while.

 

WOW. Forget the new car, I am still going to keep this whip after all. The other question what the price tag on this big mod ?????????

 

oh sh*t, can't believe i haven't stumbled upon this thread sooner! goodluck with the setup and please keep us posted

 

I fully agree thus why I went with the supercharger.

 

People can post pictures of a red TSX from SoCal all they want (I am so sick of that car btw) but we never hear anything conclusive about what's under the hood, HP figures, dyno sheets, video of it running, timeslips, etc. Until we see that, any claims of a turbo TSX are bullshit as far as I am concerned.

 

wow, your car is interesting.

Are you serious? Is that his car?

Totally

Back to topic, I wonder what's happen to OP? He has everything on his car and what can't figure out now?

 

A few other theads with the similar no result ending... I think it's possible to rig something up, but there isn't a clean solution to the engine management issue.

 

The trashbags in the demon eye picture are all class.

 

My apologies for not being more consistent with updates. Since the last time I posted, I added: a set of RC 750cc Peak n Hold injectors, Password JDM Plug n Play injector harness clips, a Vibrant flat black 3" straight through muffler and full 3" downpipe back exhaust piping, and a Walbro in-tank pump and off to the dyno I went. The first tuning session was completed with mixed results. We wanted to keep the "dead-head" fuel system as stock as possible but came to the conclusion that it won't be possible to get enough fuel for the target WHP we are looking for and maintain stock-like idle without adding a fuel return. So the next step for this project is to acquire/install: Skunk2 composite K-Series fuel rail, Aeromotive Fuel Pressure Regulator, 30' of steel-braided fuel line and an AEM methanol-injection system.

The methanol injection was not something I was told I would need but an extra 80WHP is possible which is why I'm getting it. My tuner is setting me up with three fuel maps: low-boost pump gas (7psi), higher-boost pump gas (10-12psi with methanol injection) and highest-boost race gas (18psi). All of these maps I will be able to toggle through by pressing a button "hidden" somewhere in the dash =). Another issue we have found is the limits of the factory clutch which is something I was expecting. I don't think I'll be able to dyno again with this stock clutch so it might be awhile before the next tuning session as I am saving up for the Exedy twin-disc before I go back and I'm also considering getting the Quaife LSD at the same time because the tranny will be out (almost 3K in tranny work). The stock clutch would probably hold @ 300whp but I'm greedy which is why I'll wait to go again. My new target WHP when I go back is now 350 on pump and methanol. Wish me luck, I'll keep you guys posted. By the way, the engine management system performed beautifully.
