Just thought my fellow TL brother's would like to know that there is a potential (actually its looking to be almost definitely) a supercharger in our future that isn't Comptech.

Check out the post:

Summed up:

Revolutions Motorsports (They were at SEMA w/ a 99 Civic EX SC'd) is considering building a supercharger for the Honda V6. They are going to use an Autorotor Blower, which is positive displacement like the roots-style, but can provide high boost levels like a centrifugal supercharger can. They're finishing up their Prelude Supercharger, and will soon begin work on the Accord/TL/CL kit.

The Autorotor blower is insane, more volumetrically efficient, and thermally efficient than any other supercharger, runs off less drive, and under full throttle, makes more boost at 2000 rpm than any other blower can at 7000 rpm.


Here are some comparison #'s

0-60 and 1/4 Mile
Stock Miata: 8.8, 16.4 @ 81
Eaton Supercharged Miata: 6.9, 15.4 @ 88
Autorotor Supercharged Miata: 5.7, 14.0 @ 99


This is the helpful article about Autorotor Supercharged Miata's where I obtained this information.

maybe this competition will make Comptech hurry up and make theirs!

if both comes out at the same time...I'd think I'd go with the comptech personally.

Dayyyyum!! Can't wait. If this thing comes out before May, I'm keeping my TL for a long, long time...then I go after the GS400's and even the 540i's

Well its definitely not going to be out before this May, I actually had something more like next November in mind. But to me, its worth waiting for. Both of the Superchargers are.

 

HoLY SHIT!!!! if the miata can do those numbers then the TL should be doing 8's .... I'm getting them....

Kenny, considering I have h/i/e/vafc, with the addition to the supercharger, what do you estimate 0-60 and 1/4 times?

Kenny - you forgot to mention that it'll be intercooled.

 

can our tranny take all that sh!t? i/e/h/supercharger...

I estimate a fully hooked up TL can do mid 5's in 0-60... damn..

With i/h/e, pulleys,hi-flow cat,v-afc,fuel pressure regulator, cams, supercharger. I think at the crank the TL should have very close 350HP 320 lbs ft at 3494lbs w/navi.

Compare that to a 2000 Jag XJR, 370HP and 387 lb-ft at 4015lbs with a sorry tranny, it goes 0-60 in 5.2 and 1/4 mile in 13.7@104mph!

Or 00 E55AMG 349HP and 391 lb-ft at 3800lbs.
0-60 5.5 13.8@103mph!

Can we keep up with these 80K supercars? Or can we smoke them?

 

I don't know. I think my car does 0-60 in high 5's to low 6's with i/h/e/vafc. Add SC I would, just guessing, think I could shave a whole second off the 0-60 time thus giving me low high 4's to low 5's. 1/4 mile I estimate high 13's...DAYYYYYYYYUM! Forget NOS! No, get SC, then NOS! Yeah! Talk about a Corvette Killer here!

those cars are putting power to the rear wheels where that much power can be handled. Have you ever heard of a stock car putting that much power to the front wheels?

 

STS have 300HP at the fronts. I saw another 400HP fwd ETC too.

 

reading down the posts i was about to post what rice just did. he just beat me to it.
