There are differences between the parts for the standard and Type-S TL and CL, mostly in the way the manifold is constructed. Currently, Comptech has three different kits planned, one for the Accord's V6, another for the standard CL and TL, and a third for the Type-S models. In fact, supercharging the 3.5-liter J engines in the Acura MDX, Honda Odyssey and the new Honda Pilot SUV isn't totally out of the question, although prototypes have not yet been constructed. The practical applications of a supercharged SUV or minivan include extra cargo and towing capacity. The less practical include smoking everyone else on your way to drop off the kids at soccer practice.

 

That thing looks friggin' huge in the pics.. I can't believe it's only running at 5 psi (damn tranny).

anyway, still a lot of $$$$$

 

damn i bought the magazine and all i had to do was go online

 

yeah I read that issue of Honda tuner they listed 14.7 at the 1/4 mile time wonder what it could do to a CL/TL type S with no other mods . only thing I wonder about if the CL type S is having tranny touble without this(but with headers and maybe a pipe and CAI) can you imagine if you slap this beast on there couple months(if that long) you won't have a tranny left. but still 4500 bucks(without tax or installation) is a lot of cash for S/C.

 

damn i did the same thing.

 

According to the numbers from the SC Accord V6.....the SC makes that car run with similar numbers to that of the Type-S.....0-60 and 1/4mile times.

What do you all think that means for our CL-S..what kind of car will it make a CL-S if an Accord V6 turns into a "CL-S" with the SC

You following me??

 

 

it will make it a fast, cool looking car

 

It also ran a "14.44 seconds at 97.82" it could probably hit easy 14.3s w/a good driver based on that trap speed.

 

hmmmm......you're probably looking at $4500-$5000 for the SC for the CLS...probably another $500-$1000 if an Acura dealership installs it....I dunno about that $$$$....Think I'll pocket that extra $6000 and save more to put down on an M3...

 

Yea but someone has to get it and test it out just for the pure fact that they will smoke whatever comes near them. I wanna see what this baby could do on CL-S, its too bad i dont have that kind of money still waiting on those prototype headers to come out. I'm curious is they will make it for the MDX engine this way someone can throw that on the CL-S with 3.5 upgrade

 

Those results look promising, and at 5psi, there seems to be a lot of extra power to be had if one wanted to step up the boost.

 

the big problem is.......$$$$$$$ 6500 thats not including labor....intake exhaust is easy and bolt on so thats not a problem, but the charger....thats a shitlaod of money for installation unless you know someone

 

"Speed's a question of money...how fast you want to go?"

 

i just saw this article today as well at barnes and nobles.

mid 6's for 0~60 and 14's 1/4. it even quoted saying for this price you get type-S performance.

 

." But when Comptech began getting about 30 requests per week for a supercharger, the company's direction was clear.

At the heart of the commotion is an Eaton


Wonder who that could be brom


" On the track, the Accord posted a two-way average quarter mile of 14.7 seconds at 97.38 mph, with a best run of 14.44 seconds at 97.82. The 0-60 average was 6.59 seconds, with a best of 6.19 seconds. That's CL Type-S performance from the 3.0-liter V6. "


does that mean a typeS w/ headers will still kick a superchared accord? hehe

 

I way you guys should go turbo, cuz you'll see much better hp#s

 

Well yes, but only if they had the cash to run race gas, strengthen the transmission, and the engine.

Back to the s/c..... I do not think 60 hp is worth 5k. Just my opinion. It would be cool to run high boost just at the track though, and keep it low on the street.

 

LOL, when's the last time a Type-S with headers ran 14.3's?

BTW, if the Accord isn't running 18's then I think it would pull even better times. Low profile tires making hooking a biatch because you normally get a LOT more wheel hop off the launch.


Be afraid... very afraid.

P.S. One company has already set pricing for the Accord kit at $3,900, not too bad, $600 right off the top.

 

wow.. but how much hp do i gain on my cls?thanks..looks so nice in the engine bay

 

There aren't any turbo applications available because stock compression ratio is too high.

 

I'm sorry , but thats just way too much to ask for a kit that the car may not even be to able to handel .. 1200 for the headder is high but still in reach of the average consumer..,but 6500 for a 5 psi kit is insane why not charge 3500 like the vortech kit for the si that IMO would be alot more sensible...I would rather get a tranny upgrade and run NOS .. spray 100 and eat up supercharged CLS' for brunch......They're just so frustrating(sp)

 

I dont know about the rest of yall, but Im buying it. You figure its a second off a 1/4, add that with headers, intake, and exhaust and you have a mid-high 13's CL. Not too shabby. Add some better tires, and youve got one hell of a sleeper.

 

i cant wait to see what that does to my 6 speed

 

I dont know about your car, but youll never leave it I bet

 

i was talking about the s/c in my car ...........what are you talking about

 

Thats what I was talking about. You said you cant wait to see what it does to your car. I said I dont know, but youll never leave it. Meaning itll probably kick so much ass that youll never want to leave your car.

 

Would those of us with headers and catback exhausts already be running higher than 5 psi right off the bat with the sc...considering the accord didnt have headers or a catback exhaust..??

 

thanxks for clearing that up

 

Here are some pics I just took of the article in Honda Tuning and the piece in SCC, both of which I just bought at Borders:

June 2k2 Sport Compact Car:


April/May 2k2 Honda Tuning 1:


April/May 2k2 Honda Tuning 2:

 

As you can see from the articles I posted, they ARE using headers and axle-back exhaust, chip, and FPR. Sorry.

Btw, if you pay attention in the HT article, you'll see they might be working on an SC for the 3.5L engines as well, which means the MDX/RL and also means the Rick Case 3.5L CLS with an SC would be quite BADASS.

 

I ran 14.302 @98.69 & 14.394 @98.xx in April of last year.

headers
cai
SSR comps/Toyo T1S Proxies

 

PWNED.

 

I wonder if they give me a discount since I work for Eaton

 

Although it has been mentioned the Accord had these items I wanted to address the question as it was intended.

In a blown vehicle you may actually see lower boost when you open up the exhasut track through headers and/or full exhaust. This is due to less back pressure which reduces boost stacking.

In other words; since the scavenging it greater with a free flowing exhaust, there is less remaining in the cylinder when they start to fill. This allows for easier filling of the chamber since there is less resistance and reduces boost stacking (additional boost from the resistance of cylinder filling based on existing gases in the chamber).

This does not mean there is less power, it is still better. Less boost with a more open exhaust will generate more power and then you can run a smaller pulley to get the boost back and even more power.

 

i'm figuring the accord stock has 200 (170 dynoed) so a cls stock 260 (200 dynoed). the accord SC has 230 dynoed. do u think we could push 280 dynoed with the normal mods in the CLS???Just some food for though. Being our engine is bigger?

 

will we still see a higher power output from the sc when hooked up to our 3.2 liter though despite the identical psi?...or in otherwords, will the extra .2 liters of displacement and the fact that the 3.2 type-s is more finely tuned engine out of the factory make a difference?? thanks this is really helpful info...

 

I would expect 280 WHP with headers to be a definite, maybe 290... But the blower will need a smaller pulley and spin faster to match that boost considering it has a greater displacement.

Remember, there is a little more to be had after the base installation if proper fueling issue are met.

 

i still dont see anything about the headers in the arcticle...only the stainless steel axleback...but i have really bad ADD sooo...and i think that there's a good chance of that sc fitting on the rick case 3.5...the engine is only stroked .3 liters...or wasn't there also some kind of throttle body mod included in that conversion...hmm i dunno...that certainly would be a beast if it could be done...
