What kind of problems are you having? Are your shredding belts? Are they slipping?

tsxdriver

^ yeah I keep ripping belts.

LukeaTron

Most likely an alignment issue then. If you get a cheap laser level from the hardware store you can use that for a quick eyeballing. Does the supercharge pulley have any adjustability built in?

DAYTA

Unfortunately, no. The high boost pulleys that I've seen for the M62s are typically made for RSX Type-S apps. I don't know if the mounting position for the RSX kit is different, but it seems like my HBP sits a little further in on the drive arm than my stock pulley from Comptech. There has been no negative consequences since my belt still runs straight, but the slight difference in pulley positions is noticeable.

Have you checked all other pulley rotations? I ripped the outside rib off a belt because my lightweight crank pulley wasn't rotating straight (bearing seated incorrectly) and the belt was pulled off and running on the track wall as a result.

LukeaTron

That sucks. Sounds like a shim may need to be fabbed up. Hopefully that won't be too difficult.

tsxdriver

I also took dayta's advice and ordered 3 75.5" belts.

DAYTA

Even when you're ordering belts, you're balling

Come to think of it, I might actually order a backup myself to minimize downtime (special order item from NAPA).

ULTRApower

the alignment issue looks to be on the outside end of the auto tensioner. Looks as is a spacer/washer may need to beintroduced to keep the idler from pulling the belt too far over on the alternator. it was a mod he had to do on his 05 already but since thats his dail and this one is not, the mod was never tested on this car.

very nice!

dyno sheets:

this is the 06 after the custom exhaust and Injen CAI. no further tuning was done cause we were having the belt problems. i guess it made a pretty big difference!



and here's the daily:







for these last two runs on the daily we took off the top of the airbox. guess it makes a difference too!

MMsTSX

nice update!

tsxdriver

thanks! hopefully the next update will be "problem fixed!! car is finally tuned!!'" LMAO

LukeaTron

Oh man that's sweet. You're rich as crap it looks like. Should be a more than a little more power left in there once everything is straightened out. Your car looks sweet in "action".

ULTRApower

rich?

are you referring to his boost graph?

MMsTSX

^ he must be.

godfather2

good #s! thanks for posting the graphs and vids

LukeaTron

Ah, that makes more sense. I was wondering how the car would even be running at those numbers.

DAYTA

Damn Drew, nice numbers .

With a proper tune, I'm guessing you'll get at least another 10-20whp.

Haha, I was wondering how you were deducing A/F ratios from the boost plots...

LukeaTron

Yeah, well you can't see any labels on the plot and most of the time, that smaller box down there maps the A/F ratio. That's what I get for making assumptions.

808havok_tsx

doode. which shop are you going to do all these mods? most local shops are usually "bling" shops. i wasn't aware of any tuner shops here...

tsxdriver

we use Rad Motorsports in waipahu for the tuning. they made my exhaust. we use their dyno for tuning.

ULTRApower is one of the local hondata guys down here that's tuning the ride

AtlTSX90

I absolutely love your car

tsxdriver

Alrighty folks well my friend who installed the sc came over last night and as of now everything seems to be good. He had to add some washers here and there, especially to the smaller pulley on the blower side. We took the car out for some "runs" and the belt appears to be holding up fine now. Doesn't appear to be jumping and no ripped ends. Hopefully I can be back on the dyno next week saturday(21st).

MMsTSX

^nice.

can't wait for the new dyno testing.

tsxdriver

same here!

godfather2

i'll have my fingers crossed

enjoyed reading this thread greatly... but why is it in the photo section

anyway... so the catback is 3" with a magnaflow spuncat and a mangalfow resonator to a 3" to dual outlet 2.5" y pipe to 2xtanabe hyper medallions...???

looks sweet sounds sweeter... just curious if you are ever going to get her on the 1/4

ULTRApower

we invited him to come to Maui with us next time we take our cars to clock them. so hopefully he's into it

rex.

hey hey hey Chris, don't make this thread NWS!

AchcA

one question here. One of my friend is also looking to buy the K-pro for his supercharge TSX. He told me something that I really don't understand. He said that before install his K-pro into his supercharged TSX, he must first install his K pro in a stock TSX. Is this correct? Why?

Audioserf

That doesn't really make sense.

When you purchase the supercharger, part of the purchase price is pre-payment for a Hondata reflash for your stock ECU to work with the supercharger. Unless I'm missing something, there's no way to buy a supercharger WITHOUT this included reflash.

Once you get KPro, you ALSO have to send your stock ECU to Hondata to get it reflashed to work with KPRo. Then you just hook up the two ECU's and head to your KPro tuner and have them go to town.

EuRTSX

Bastard...

AchcA

He bought the RSX supercharge and installed in his TSX. The problem is he bought it WITHOUT reflash included. That's why he is getting KPro for his mixed supercharge system.

Still having problem with your belt?
go to "Club RSX" and search for New Auto Belt Tensioning system or supercharger belt tensioning system

MMsTSX

how did it go today?

tsxdriver

^ as a matter of fact
