They are selling the Turbo Kit for v6 Accord, Acura, i was guessing if its for V6 Accord it would also fit a 3.2 TL-P. Do you think that Turbo Kit is good? Please give me some suggesions and Also If it is Can i run it on a TL-P automatic?



This setup is done on an Acura 3.2

 

oh damn good find. i wonder how good this turbo is and its quality

 

How about you buy it and tell us all how good it is, but it kinda looks like one of the other members turbo kits from before, you should do a search about it.

 

try a search. I think someone's talked about this before. I think originally it's a kit designed for the AV6.

I read somewhere that the wastegates were ok, but that some other parts were of crappy quality. I.... I wouldn't get it, but hey it's just me.

If you're gonna go bolt on forced induction, it'd be best to go with a reliable brand. (A.K.A. Greddy for turbos, Comptech for Superchargers).

Edit: Wow. I'm surprised that someone actually bid on it. Lol. Guess Dannyboy will be telling us how the kit fares...

 

Actually putting a turbo Kit is last of my Mod which is not that far. Comptech Icebox, Thermoblock spacers, RearLip, HIDs and Striaght to that Turbo kit. But yeah i have to search more for that Kit. The Biggest thing in my mind is, If my tranny can hold that much power since its Automatic. Already have headers and Pulley ... And yeah have to Paint all the engine Covers the AM color, which is the color of my Car

 

This kit is questionable. I believe the story behind this kit is it was a stolen design from a fellow member here. On another forum, I saw that the turbo was crappy quality and fell apart on the guy (split in half). You get wha ya pay for. But who knows, the headers by XS ended up being great.

 

Yea, the headers are the duplicate of Comptech and working great. Thats why i was thinking if it was XS with the turbo, i should give it more search. maybe some of the parts should not be used. I am looking for some feedback from the people who are running this. Lets see how far i can get with that. If some things , i will Update you people.

 

search, that turbo was made by a member on this forum and basically stolen by XS Power. Look at the piping, that along should make the decision.

 

You can give it a try... I would probably go with the supercharger tho. But if i were you..i will probably redo the tranny first before that.. or else you might end up sitting in the middle of no where asking for help with your turbo setup but broken tranny... do you have the tranny with the latest desgin?

 

Dang why is it so cheap?

 

Dang why is it so cheap?! It's probably shoddy.

If you're really serious about a turbo, don't waste money on an Icebox.

 

I wanna get every little Power Before i get the Turbo.

 

The turbo kit you found on eBay was designed by a member here and copied by the eBay vendor. There is a 15 page long thread on this subject started by the designer.

I won't bother with this kit.

 

Read this turbo thread here. Its basically a stolen design. Its speedr73 turbo. I wouldnt buy this kit.

since when did speedr73 post his dyno from it? wish i had a turbo...

 

Why? You wont be able to use the Icebox if you really end up getting a turbo.

 

Something wrong with the turbo, why wont you get it?

 

ok GOT It, Never gonna think of getting a turbo on this. So CTSC is a wayyy better choice.

 

I believe the CompTech IceBox is included in the S/C package, thus don't waste your money on one now...

 

The supercharger is wayyy far in my list rite now. You could say in Sep or Oct. And when i will get that Icebox, ill sell that over here

 

I have seen 3.2 engine w/ turbo putting out in the 400hp area. complete offraod application of course.

 

Look like CHEAP chinese knock off stuff sold on ebay. I would SERIOUSLY watch buying that cheap stuff. Often times...the turbos are copied knock offs of Garrett turbos or other reputable companies...but WITH FAR FAR LESS QUALITY. Headers and turbo casings have been known to split in no time....welds are generally subpar...ect. Basically...its cheap knock-off stuff that does not last.

I work with a national NDRA/NOPI drag racer (Joe Demaree) and he stated a while back ago that kids come into his speed shop with these ebay turbo kits all the time. He installed a few to check em out....and bar none...EVERY ONE OF EM ENDED UP FAILING IN A BIG WAY. Biggest problems....cheap welds and base materials leading to failure. Bar none...each and every one of em ended up spending what they should have to do it right in the end....only were out the money on the "cheapie" kit. As mentioned already above...you get what you pay for.

 

The other prob is running your fuel and electronics, timing etc if you go turbo. Yes there are some stand alone ECU's that will do it in conjunction with your ecu but the cost to run say 5-8 pounds of boost isn't worth the $$$$$

 

this link is how to produce over 400HP. this is completely offroad. http://www.funco-motorsports.com/acura_honda_v6.htm
