I was going to save this for a little later, but I couldn't help myself because I've been waiting SOOO long for this ...

i can't wait to see what the results are for a 06 supercharger! Do they even make this for the 06 5AT yet though?!?!

Congrats on the purchase! ARe you doing a before and after dyno i hope

Get that thing installed...

ACCURATEin

Comptech Supercharger for the win!

DAYTA

Thanks for the congrats.

I'm curious about the performance gains as well since as far as I know, I'll be the first S/Ced 06. One cool thing for all you future S/C owners, I believe that Comptech is now including the auto belt tensioner with all of their S/C kits (my kit was the first one with it included).

I'm not sure if I'll do a before/after dyno since I think it's too late for a base dyno (I have a I/H/C/E combo installed already).

Yours will be the fastest TSX in North America once that is installed.

I want a ride in it ASAP, you hear me? I know where you park... muahahah!

Bleser

AWESOME

Please take some nice videos of acceleration runs with good sound quality and post on YouTube! Can't wait, congrats!!!!

SicK TypeS

it's hard to find vids of a sc'ed 6spd!

how much more power should be expected from a sc'ed 6spd vs. sc'ed auto?

I think you just took a pic of the box with a Comptech sticker. I don't believe you really have it.

ILoveMyHonda

I sure hope not haha, that would be sad on so many levels.

So get that thing installed and post some vids on youtube!

DAYTA

Thanks for all the kudos!


I'm hoping that I'll be able to hit a sub-6 second 0-60 run. You'll be the first non-grease monkey (i.e. Josh) to take a ride in it, no doubt.


Yeah, I most certainly will take some vids. However, I'm currently debating whether I should change intakes and go with an AEM SRI (no CAIs/low-end tq loss for me) in order to make the S/C whine louder .

As far as addtional power between auto vs manual, I believe the following dynos were recorded (both had just intake/header combo in addition to the S/C):

04 Auto - 225whp/175wtq

04 Manual - 244whp/189wtq

With an 06 Manual + I/H/C/E, I'm hoping to hit close to 260whp/200wtq ....

DAYTA

Well, if it is just a box with a sticker, that means I'm taking parts out of your car as reimbursement, starting with that huge ass turbo of yours .

godfather2

happy for u

Bleser

Do you have any current videos of your car and what the current setup (exhaust, etc) sounds like?

Tsx536

Hey congrats man

I think you should be able to definitely hit over 250 whp / 200 tq. You'll probably hit well over those numbers since you don't have any exhaust restriction. I still haven't seen a dyno with SC and the entire exhaust system upgraded. Get that thing installed ASAP! So they included the Auto tensioner setup?! You lucked out man, that retails for $550!

As for intakes, what do you have now? The AEM SRI or a CAI is actually louder than the Icebox. The louder the intake, the less you'll be able to hear the whine. I would just stick with your intake setup for now. It will help you appreciate the gains and then you can switch down the road if you feel like it.

DAYTA

C'mon Kenny, don't get my hopes up too much! All this talk, and I'll probably end up dynoing 180-190wtq ...



My current setup is:

CT Icebox
CT Header
RT Cat
CT Exhaust

Actually, the reason why I was considering changing my intake was based in part on your YouTube videos (the other reason being I want a blue AEM SRI to match my engine bay ). I compared your acceleration run with an Injen intake to steve467's run with the CT Icebox, and I could distinctly hear the S/C whine better in your video.

IIRC, you've since switched out the Injen for the CT Icebox. If so, I'm assuming that you're saying that you can hear the whine of the S/C better now with the Icebox?

TommySalami

Less noise from the intake will mean you'll be able to hear the s/c whine better.

DAYTA

I dunno...when I heard Kenny's videos, the Injen seemed to almost amplify the S/C whine which I thought would happen since it's metal (vs. plastic like my Icebox).

TommySalami

I don't know how much you can tell from a video though. Different cameras, angles, etc will sound different

any whine is better than no whine though

Tsx536

I had the windows down in the Injen video, I think that's also what made it louder. I guess the sound was more of a combination of the Intake and the whine. It does sound nice though, just kinda loud. I guess it depends on if you want to be a sleeper or not...haha

DAYTA

with both points.


See, that's where I'm coming from. Honestly, I'd rather it be louder than softer just so I'd be able to hear (as well as feel) where my money went .

Why are you still talking? GO GET THAT BADBOY INSTALLED!

I think there's someone else on here with a NBP SC'd 06...but he doesnt frequent the boards much. So yes. Videos please


And congrats on the SC again

jwood_06TSX

Where are you located DAYTA? Do you have any videos or dyno's of your car already as is?

GO INSTALL, NOW!

Wow you didn't waste any time. That's good because you get to into it for many many miles since your car is fairly new. How many miles have you racked up thus far?

DAYTA

I live in CT. Unfortunately, I haven't yet dynoed my car so I don't have a baseline, nor do I know what I'm putting down these days. I plan to dyno with the S/C in Nov-Dec once the temp has dropped a little bit more.

As far as installation, Excelerate is still waiting to receive the ACM piggyback module from Comptech, so hopefully it'll be going in next week .


Right now, I have around 15k miles logged, so I'm essentially foregoing 35k miles and 2 1/2 yrs of my remaining warranty.

I think I'll be the first TSX still within warranty to add a S/C, so we'll see how that goes. However, I have complete confidence that Comptech produced a quality product (as evident by all my other Comptech parts ) so I'm not THAT concerned.

CCColtsicehockey

TSX536, is there a specified break in period for the Supercharger once it is installed.

Big Ben

ACM piggyback module

What is that? I just ordered the kit as well and will be getting it on Tuesday and installed tuesday.

Ben

DAYTA

The piggyback ACM is part of our engine/fuel management to run the S/C. I'm not entirely sure about this so someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it connects to the ECU and acts as a bypass by "fooling" the computer into thinking it's running normal fuel injection levels and A/F ratios while running boost levels.

Unless you live next to Hondata, how are you getting it installed on the same day? You know you have to send in your ECU to Hondata for a reflash which takes at least 3 days.



As an update, I just dropped my car and kit off at Josh's (Excelerate) shop. I'm hoping to get it back by Friday or Saturday . More updates to follow...

Big Ben

I meant that they are starting it today. I will be getting it back on thursday.

Ben

Big Ben

any updates on your kit? I should be picking my car up tomorrow.

DAYTA

Nothing yet, but I dropped my car off on Monday, so I'm hoping to get it back on Friday or Saturday.

Have you heard anything about break-in for a supercharger? I tried Googling a break-in procedure, but didn't come up with much. I think I'm going to run it rather softly for the first 5-600 miles (similiar to a new engine break-in), then go nuts .

Big Ben

I have done some research and not found anything either. Colt asked the question earlier in this thread and no one ever responded. I asked steve (he has a sc) and said

"As far as a break in period, I do not believe there really is one. For the SC it's not like a new engine where pistons rings need to seat correctly, etc."

So I am not sure. I may drive it hard a couple of times on the way home then just drive it normal just to get the feel.

I should have a dyno tomorrow too.

Can anyone help us on this?

Ben

jwood_06TSX

Big Ben, do you have a 6MT too??
