1st Comptech supercharged TSX on the East Coast!
Comptech supercharger is installed! Just waiting for the ECU to come back from Hondata. After talking to Comptech I found out only 3 superchargers were shipped in the first batch. This is the first one installed outside of Comptech

Congrats...and Welcome to the Supercharger crew 
I've had mine for about 1800 miles now and I'm definitely enjoying it. Have fun with yours!
Who did the install?

Very cool looking, I'm sure you'll love it. Supercharger madness is creeping up on me, I am feeling like I will have no choice but to supercharge my TSX in the next year or so. I wonder what it does to longevity if used sparingly but still used . . .

Damn, that's awesome. I like the look of JDM valve and spark cover with Comptech carbon fiber supercharger. It looked so nice! I really want one but $$$$. I hope to get one someday.

That's right I only had to pay to overnight the ECU to Comptech, Comptech then overnights it to Hondata and Hondata is overnighting it back to me.
Sho-One:
Thanks man! I will have to throw this thing on a dyno sometime.
SimpleWhite:
Thanks I'm having a goodtime with it
Here is a list of a few of the shows I am planning on attending:
SEMA IAS Philadelphia
HIN Chantilly, VA
HIN Charlotte, NC
HIN Atlantic City, NJ

It looks like the TSX is coming along.
Good to see you posting on acurazine.
I thought you had left us for good.
I'll see you at the shows.

TSX 536:
Yes I have been driving the supercharged TSX. It is great, the power delivery is smooth and strong above 3000 RPMs. When upshifting the power comes on strong and pulls all the way to redline. The RPMs stay above 3000 RPMs after most upshifts so there is no delay in power. The sound is also amazing, you can hear the air rushing into the engine and at high RPMs you can hear the distinctive whine of the supercharger, yet at idle the sound of the engine is nearly like stock. I am very happy with this upgrade and I would reccomend this modification to anyone looking for more power all around out of their TSX.

I overnighted the ECU to Comptech Thursday night so they recieved it on Friday and overnighted it to Hondata and the ECU was delivered to me Monday morning. So it only took Hondata a day to reflash it and ship it back out.

Maybe I will try to make a video clip one day when I have time. I am unsure of the dates of the next magazines I will be in.

Yeah it sounds close to stock at idle. I was really surprised by how quiet is actually is. Well have fun with your ride and drive safe. Keep us updated as you drive the car more
