Yes they are working on one but realize that this is a complex job that requires not only getting a supercharger under the hood but also requires that the system work without harming the car or the emissions.Add to this the additional fun of getting it all certified to be emissions legal.Jens

Not to mention...if it replaces the intake manifold...the problem of retaining our IMRC and dual throttle body, right!?!

out of the box, it isn't that great, the stock boost out of the box is 4.5 psi. But if you turn up the boost to about 8-10 psi it feels a lot better.

Is there really that big of a demand for them? Headers are expensive as it is .. probably the most expensive mod to date .. @ $1K .. S/C.. what, $3,000.00? Wow .. and this certainly won't give me BETTER mileage .. my friend w/ his buick Regal GS gets about 15 mpg city .. ugh.

Since the car would be supercharged I highly doubt that an IMRC setup intake manifold would be required.Since the intake in pressurized having a fancy intake like what is tock on the CL/S would not be worth much.Jens

Hmmm...just hate to take off things from the factory..
Maybe I can sell the manifold and IMRC setup to one of the CL-P guys or Accord guys...

SC TL

Then again, this is Comptech you are talking about. They've never gone out of their way to save us TL owners any dough even though are parts are interchangeable with Accords. I would expect they would charge a premium for the SC, especially since they will likely be the only manufacturer. I would guess at least $5000 (but $4678 from Snook).

Rod

The one for the S2000 is close to 5K, so I'm guessing it'll be up there for the CL. But who knows...

scalbert

Last word was that they were going to be using a centifugal unit.


Not a roots style.


So it wouldn't mount to the manifold, it would be well before the TB. My guess and was somewhat confirmed was that the battery would be relocated and the blower sitting in its place. The drive shaft would then be run across the front of the engine similar to what was done for the Stillen kit for the Maxima.

With a side outlet Vortec blower and a U-Bend pipe the TB (or VSA throttle for the Type-S) is right there. So the IMRC would be retained, as for there being any additional benefit with it the IMRC any longer, that will have to be seen.

F=ma_RENAMED

Hmmmm they better leave room for a custom intercooler. You know someone will want more boost with a smaller pulley, and higher boost is unsafe without some kind of cooling. Especially with the Type-S's high Static CR.

Right now, though. I don't wanna gripe or complain. I just want that damn blower to be out already.

Are you sure they are making a centrifigul one vs the vortec one? I guess since im a CLP owner i woudl hope for the vortec one sicneu it replaces the intake manifold and i ahve been todl that the intake manifold is the main diff between the CLS and CLP. ANyohe know if thats true?

The Eaton would almost certainly require replacement of the intake manifold, not the Vortec. The Eaton roots style is a positive displacement blower that provides imediate boost at any RPM but becomes less efficient as the revs climb.

The Vortec centrifugal unit sits in line before the TB. It has a fairly linear increase in boost as the revs climb. This is what they used on the S2000 system.

AirC

thanks for the quick response scalbert. But whats the eaton exactly...dont know too much about superchargers bu tim just trying to see what exactly is it that i would want t obe out for my CLP since i know i have much less power than the CLS...but ive alwasy been trying to see waht there is that i could replace or waht would replace the parts on my car to make it equal or better than the CLS. Also isnt neuspeed making a supercharger out.. i remember i read it in a magazine post once that they were owrkign on it and i saw a picture of it too...id have to dig up the picture...but it wasnt anything big...just said it was in the process of making one..but for hte v6 accord ithink....

Here are links to the two Brands and types. There is plenty of reading that should cover most of what you would be interested in.

If we did buy the supercharger for our cars..what would we need to do to make sure our tranny wont go on us? I think more then just a torque convertor.

So not only do we get a supercharger and an icebox for $x,xxx, but we might also get a different manifold thereby removing the hassle of constantly checking to see if the IMRC actuator is working! Sounds like a good deal to me!
