I am the owner of a 2010 Acura RL. Being new to the tuner world and not much of a gearhead, I wanted to know can a supercharger or turbocharger be put on a KB2? If so, any suggested brands?

 

If it's a supercharger, Comptech Racing would be your best bet if they make one for the TL SH-AWD J37 like they did for the TL-S J35 similar to the KB1. However, I have been told superchargers are less efficient than turbos. IIRC, we have seen 270 WHP in a supercharged KB1.

A handful of people have turbo'ed the KB1. IIRC, one of our Russian members used a Mitsubishi EVO turbocharger. Plenty of others have turbo'ed other J35s including a Honda dealership in Alabama pushing 530+ hp in an Odyssey. Turbo is the way to go. My only concern is that it would almost certainly have to be a custom job by knowledgable people. If you can pay to play, please share your journey.

 

IMHO

superchargers are much smoother in the power delivery and don't beat up the auto as bad as a turbo does but size constraints will limit how much boost the blower will be able to provide (you can only stuff so much blower under the hood without having to mod your hood or other aspects)

Turbo will most likely give you more power but you got to put up with lag and the heat issues that come up from being in a confined space..
