Aki,
We will be releasing a kit for the Type S models within the next month.
We will offer a kit for the base models, although it will not smog legal.
You can check back early next month for any new updates regarding this kit.
Thanks.

so if its not smog legal what does that mean? will i be failing my inspections in NJ?

 

how much the s/c?

 

Don't know about the New Jersey insp., but it won't pass in Cali. on TLP until its CARB Cert. BTW, anyone know what's the WHP and Torque will be for the TlS Auto?

 

jackson racing is going to be making one to !

 

The Acura 3.2CL type-s 6 speed version claims up to 57 whp gain
and runs $4,495.... http://solar.innercite.com/comptech/sc_cls6.html

 

here's the pic of the Accord 3.0 supercharger

$500 less from our buds @ autocarparts.com...

Ordering mine soooooon (CLS 6mt)

 

hmmm..how wud the transmission that already has some problems respond to another 57whp...

 

wow..that's crazy....

 

IMO, it is not worth putting down over $5K (including installation) for only ~60 hp (being optimistic here).

But to whoever gets it...:worship:

 

5 K .. is just too much money for a s/c

 

gonna mess up gas mileage too, if anyone cares about that

 

I don't think spending 5 k on a supercharger for 60 hp is really worth it. And this will definately put more abuse on the tranny....Just seems like more harm will come out of it then good.

 

The stock S/C is only set at 5 PSI. If I were to get one I'd most likely boost at leat 10 PSI for racing. The problem is that our trannys aren't designed to handle that much power. So good luck to anyone buying one.

 

who in their right mind would pay $5K to supercharge a family sedan

 

Tell that to the lexus guys who are pushing their family sedans (gs400/430 and even is300) to over 400 hp+.:wow:

Hell, if I had the $$$ and the power was more, I would've install one.:p

 

Those who don't want to get = "beat by an AV6... WTF"

Nevertheless, it would be nice to have it under the hood.
I think all TL'rs would want it - if it was a little more affordable...

 

i would!

 

u guys need to find someone to hook u up with parts. "employee discount" from my friend is 40% off

 

If you get 40% off the parts, why don't you buy a bunch of the parts and sell them to us for 10-15% more than what you pay for! That way, you make money, and we save money.

 

40% off what? Retail price? Wholesale price?

 

Hook a fellow TLer up.
