Tsx536

Let me first say that these pics are from DigitalHorizon on the other TSX forum. All credit goes to him for these pics. I hope he doesn't mind. These pics are just too hawt for me not to share I guess his friend has access to the Comptech R&D car and brought it over a couple of times.

ACCURATEin

Damn that looks good!

i want to make love to his car.

laee3

just wondering do you have to have manual transmission to have super charger? i kno it doesn't matter for turbo

GSGOMEZ

Damn, I love it. I would love to buy one but my concern is that cops out there for speeding ticket. I hate it.

xjessejun

okay now, where the hell can i get that grill??? haha

JKV808TSX

Maaaannnn, too bad the SC is only being released for the 04 6MT's... "for now".... where's the love for the 5AT's man.. LOL

West6MT

That looks SO SWEET. I must have the 05 version when it comes out.

joerockt

Its not his car, its Comptech's...

NJTSXMan

Is it even possible to install a supercharger on the 5AT? Would the automatic transmission be able to withstand the added power? I thought I read somewhere that the superchargers/turbochargers would not be developed for the 5AT because the transmission is too weak...

RMATIC09

What grill is that?

CarbonGray Earl

Looks cool....BTW thats the IKEA at Eastland mall in Covina, upper parking structure, if anyone is familiar.

I don't think I would get one, but I'd like to see alot of TSXs go faster.

drunkenbuda

Damn, no love for the AT. I will buy a supercharger/turbo if they have it for AT!!!!

CarbonGray Earl

Since there are more 5ATs out there, wouldn't it be a plain stupid not to make one? This is a assuming that NUMERICALLY, there are more 5ATs that would want one, even though we all know a greater PROPORTION of 6MT drivers are probably going to buy one as compared to 5AT owners.

What's the split again on 5AT vs 6MT, overall?

TacoBellSauce

i want that grill more than the supercharger

lol

JK5one3

i hope they make one for 5AT.

Very possible, and some might say preferable. By point of fact, a given automatic transmission is MUCH stronger and more resilient to abuse than its clutched manual equivalent. There are a few reasons for this, not the least of which is that torque converters, being hydrostatic couplings, can take whatever you can throw at them as long as you keep the fluid from overheating.

Also, I'm curious how well the aftercooler works on that blower. Roots blowers are some of the biggest bastards when it comes to thermal management of the charge, because their adiabatic heat coefficient is higher than both centrifugal and screw compressors. This is especially important considering how close the manifold is to the radiator, and how little room for airflow there seems to be in that design.

Really? So sound wise, what sound does a supercharged engine sound like? Does it have a humming or whine noise to it?

mg7726

man that thing is HOT! too bad it's around $4k.

markcoburn

It’s not the car it’s puberty.

jerzpwr

looks hot

Dual lobe roots blowers sound like a mob of pissed of mosquitoes. It's pretty cool.

aznt1217

lol nice comments... car is hot bottom line.

madmanmax3000

wait wait wait, hold up, most importantly, what is up with the placement of the hood prop? I'm on vaca now and am so antsy to know if mine does that because I never knew it had more than one place you could prop it

Jay6speed

does anyone know how/where to get that grill......

i don't see it on the comptech website ????

jiggaman

i want that grill too

I forgot but does the Injen intake get thrown out once you get comptech's supercharger?

LoveMyTL-S

Yes, you can prop it up in the back also............. Nice huh?

rmpage

From the look of it, the throttle body is in the same place, just angled differently. Comptech is using the Icebox in that picture (with a different intake tube it seems), but I would imagine that you would just need a slightly different elbow union to connect the Injen to the TB.

Looks awesome!! too bad they ain't avaliable yet, but it's not like i can get one....

laee3

damn seriously tho.. think about what tsx can do with supercharger, k-pro, Intake, header, and exhuast......

^ Not much... it's still a pretty heavy car... unless you do some serious weight reduction...

eviljai

it maybe a newbie question, but i wonder do u still use the drive by wire, or they got rid of it and use the K20A throttle body?? if they are not using the drive by wire, wouldnt it lost the AC, the cluster and the airbags? Thanks for the experts

laee3

not much?? you don't think 50 whp is not much addition to this car?? how much horses do g35 sedans have? around 275 i assume, and how heave are they?? i think tsx will be as fast as g35 sedans... well stock i mean

rmpage

~50whp is what the TSX needs to have the same power/weight ratio as the TL.

motha fuckin ditto

...still PRAYING that the SC for the 5AT's do come out sometime in 06.

waTSX

Looks pretty hot.
