HKS Turbo Setup
Anyone know what type of manifold setup HKS used on their v6 accord?. From the picture of the engine setup it looks as if they just used the rear 3 cyls to spool the turbo and left the front stock? Anyone know for sure??

If they are just using the rear 3 cyls. Then a turbo kit would be easy to produce and cheap!!! I could make that turbo manifold easily. Maybe Ill try that over the winter. Does Acura sell the exhaust manifold flange? That would make it a ton easier. If there was more space in the front a twin turbo setup would be easy.

Imho, this engine is for show. Look at the stock header.
Ive seen several V6 accords at import shows with turbos that are non-operating ( they had all the fabricated piping and everything w/ huge T66 turbos HAHA )
You could easily turbocharge your TL but why
would you do such a thing ?
That would put tremendous wear and tear on your engine and transmission.
It would be fun while it lasted
maybe turbocharging a 6 speed 2004 TL would be a wiser decision. ( low boost )

if you could find some one to make you 2 LOG type exhaust manifolds, the rest would be fairly easy

What is the compression ratio on the 3.0L? In a Type S, 8 lbs p.s.i. could do bad things. In California especially, with our lousy 91 octane gas. I guess the other factor is C.A.R.B. certification. Your mileage may vary.

Prototype Racing in LA made just this 1 custom turbo. He has also been working on the prototype racing headers that were suppose to be out like 4 years ago. I went to a group meet with the Accord V6 members to Protoytype racing...it was a waste of time.
