Here are a few engine bay shots. I have an 04 tsx 6MT. I figured since I got a something new I would take some pics. I got it installed yesterday.





Enjoy!

I will be doing a photoshoot soon. I haven't taken any good pics of my car lately and there are some new parts on it now.

Congrats Ben!!!! Results look very good and similar to the other post on the 04 6MT supercharger! Can't wait to compare it to DAYTA's 06 6MT dyno results, although he has a ton of other mods.

How does she drive and feel? Any videos soon?!?

LuvMyTSX

Nice!

Big Ben

The drive is amazing. It feels like it keeps pulling and doesn't stop. You will be going 100 mph before you know it. I think that we have the same mods. I/H/E/Cat

I will try to get some videos this weekend.

Big Ben

Dyno with the hondata Reflash for any of you guys that want to compare.

Excuse my ignorance, but, what type of intake is that?

hyunk24a2

fastest tsx in the southeast

ben when my kit comes in we'll snap some shots

jwood_06TSX

Jan, its a Gruppe M intake. I think there is a vendor on the other site that sells them, but they are on the pricey side, closer to Mugen price if i'm not mistaken!

Edit: Just checked and i think its something like $600-$650! I am in the process of finishing making my own modified comptech icebox for A TON less than that.....whoa thats a lot for an intake!

jlukja

^^ Thanks J.

Big Ben

Sounds good. just let me know. Then you can buy my volks.

Big Ben

That is correct. Gruppe-m. You have to buy it from their website. They are $695. The sound that the intake makes with the supercharger is amazing. Its like a high pitch sucking noise.

jwood_06TSX

well make sure you get some sound clips this weekend

Congrats on the boost

Have fun with it. Rev to about 4500K and then floor it. You'll go from Vacuum to full boost really quickly. Feels awesome!

Big Ben

Thanks man

TSX2345

Post pics when done or better yet take pics of your progress once you start

DAYTA

Yeah, we pretty much have the same mods (I/H/C/E), although we have different intakes and headers (Gruppe-M vs. CT Icebox, DC vs. Comptech). However, I'm considering picking up a Gruppe-M intake in the future myself (gotta keep the CF theme going, ya know).

Ben, those numbers look very good. Gotta love how you hit max torque @ 3k RPM and how flat the torque curve stays up to redline. However, I'm a bit confused since you actually dynoed about the same as steve4547 did with just an intake and header. With the addition of a high-flow cat and exhaust, I was expecting you to hit closer to 250whp/200wtq. Nevertheless, congrats on the S/C !!!

Big Ben

Gruppe-M intake is very nice and sounds great. I dunno about the dyno either but I am still happy with the numbers. Maybe the exhaust / cat with boost doesn't do as much. I have no clue. Look forward to seeing your results. You will love it.

Two things that need to be taken into account. First is the fact that tuning software needs to come about for those with power adder applications, the second and you will find huge gains from is developing an intercooler that sits below the comptech "Eaton M62" supercharger and mates with the intake. If someone would develop those two things, we would have capabilities of running in the lower 300whp range with smaller pulley options and larger tq numbers. Lets get it done. The heat that the eatons make is ridiculous. Hondata needs to make a compatable K-pro for the TSX ecu, not RSX one, and we would be all set..

Oh btw..nice numbers also anyone happen to have the supercharger pulley diameter?

Big Ben

I can get that measurement tomorrow. I had the UR pulleys and ended up having to take them off.

godfather2

great numbers! any torque steer?

Thanks

damn thats awesome. congrats man

wish i had the money to do that

jmathew34

congrads and welcome...

how many s/c'd tsx's does that make?

Excelerate

Ben, glad to see everything worked out. Thanks again. Let me know if you need anything else or any more superchargers for any other cars.

Big Ben

Thanks for the quick responses and a fast shipment. I took it on a mtn run this morning and it is a totally different car.

Ben

waTSX

Nice setup.

DAYTA

I just noticed that you're running a lightweight flywheel and clutch setup (although I can't remember if the Stage 1 clutch was closer to an OEM replacement or not).

How do you like that combo with the S/C? From the S/C videos I've seen, the engine revs up so quickly as it is - I can't imagine how fast it would rev with your setup. Also, how does the lightweight combo affect daily driving?

04_K24TSX

Sweet deal. Welcome to the S/C club. It makes you wonder why the car didn't come like this from the factory. It's great.

offsight204

looking good...

CGTSX07

envious...wonder if this will ever be an option for the '07s

any vids/sound clips comin??

Big Ben

Stage 1 is closer to oem then stage 2 or 3 if that is what you were asking. As far as a DD there is not much difference. It catches alot sooner than stock and seems to hold torque better. At high rpms it switches without hesitation. I didn't have the stock clutch and flywheel on before the sc but I love the feel of it. As far as pushing the clutch in it isn't mushy. Right when you push the clutch and in start to let it out it springs back.

Big Ben

A local guy wants to do a couple of runs and video tape it so I hope to have some video footage soon. Not into racing but would like to have some video footage so I am going to do it.
