I was wondering i was thinkign of putting the comptech supercharger on my 1999 3.2 tl. But it says only for type-s. Does it really make a difference. Can i still do it?

yes because the headers, exhaust etc... are different unless you get the whole conversion someone correct me if im wrong..

Call Comptech and ask for Joe - 888-626-6783

Its possible but it wouldn't be plug and play. You'd need an experienced mechanic who knows what they're doing to get the s/c installed.

You might be better off trading in your car and 'upgrading' to a used Type S instead ... Might be cheaper

your wrong...the TL doesnt even come with headers....the difference is in the intake side....not the exhaust side...

Ive been thinking about getting a supercharger for a long time but now that i got the money im havnig my doubts for a couple reasons:

1. timing valves and pistons: with all the extra airflow its probably likely that your piston rings and timing valves will wear and tear much earlier unless theyre replaced with higher performance, more durable ones

2. reliability: supercharger obviously requires more maintenance to an already problematic transmission

3. dealer warranty: i have no idea whether or not the comptech supercharger kit voids any dealer warranty, any feedback on this would help

4. gas mileage: a supercharger would obviously destroy your gas bills, your fuel efficiency would go wayy down, and with gas prices like they are right now, it would be a bitch.

Obviously, youd get 30-40 hp more at the wheel to an already fast car, but all im saying is that if u thinking about geting a supercharger be prepared to fork over alot more of your hard earned money doing so!

I've had my S/C for a year now and there is no noticable under "normal" driving conditions.
When my tranny went out, they tried to void the warranty due to the S/C.
After much "communication", they agreed to replace the tranny no cost.

Still runs like a champ!

Umm, I could be wrong, but doesn't EVERY car have headers? Yes, you can upgrade them, just like you can the intake, and exhaust/muffler, etc. But, yes, the supercharger does its magic on the intake side, where as a turbo is on the exhaust side, if I'm not mistaken, I sometimes get these two switched around.

TeHeLeEsE

turbos and superchargers work with intake
what they do is artificially increase airflow into ur car, rather than letting air pressure do the job naturally

njtls

very few cars come with headers....your thinking exhaust manifold....and both supercharger and turbo are for the intake...i was stating before that the difference between the type-s and the tlp is mostly due to whats on the intkae side of the engine and not with the exhaust...

bigman

the difference is that the type s has that vsa throttle plate after the throttle body and the p does not. You will have to extend the piping going to the manifold. If you can mix and match or just go with the accord blower it will fit also.

elah

ya i hear the accord blower is ALMOST a perfect fit, some minor alterations need to be done... nothing major like putting the type s one on ur 99.

elah

oh ya u have 4 gears so expect to have about the same hp as the accord with the supercharger with 25+ more due to the .2L litres of displacement heres a dyno of the accord

anyone with a supercharged tl-s know the specs on it?
i wanna know exact hp and track times

Headers and Exhaust manifold are the same damn thing pal, headers is a nickname because they are at the "head" of the exhaust route. Aftermarket "exhaust manifolds" are jsut designed for higher flow, which is why they only give you about 10 hp (not even sure if its that much), but if ur running high boost it can make a 20-30 hp difference. Im not sure if ours are visable from the hood because the way headers for a v6 are designed, but if u look at any 4 cyl car and take off the little heat shield for the exhaust manifold, it will look exaclty like the aftermarket headers you would buy would, except maybe that pipes terminate all into the same spot (4-1) as opposed to some after markets that go 4-2-1.

Teheleese, Type S lady just got a supercharger for her type s, but i dunno i havent seen her around lately

Type S Lady

I am here! No track times, not time. Sorry...

If only I had the money.

Oh and you don't relocate the battery. The SC kit from Comptech comes with a new battery tray. It bolts up in the same place as the old battery tray. Only difference is it uses a new smaller battery. If you look at the pic above. Right between the Icebox and SC. You'll see the a silver box. That is the battery being partially hidden by the SC.

jimmiceman

Does the smaller battery have any effect on the car?
