Ive been reading up on these, it fits within your intake, and adds 15 or so HP, and installs in less than an hour, runs off your electrial system and u flick it on at WOT for extra power...Sounds too good to be true, and pretty cheap, from 100-500 bucks...any of yous guise heard of this or is it BULL

LOL. It's complete and utter bullshit. As is the $20 chip you can buy on ebay.

There is only one supercharger kit at the moment (not turbo)... it's sold by Comptech, and it's $5000 -- only works in the TL-S

I believe the supercharger for the accord can be modified to fit the TL-p model.

true electric superchargers for cars are still a little ways off. i read a good article in road&track about the R&D that's being done on them right now.

but as far as we are concerned, anything you see out right now is a load of crap. most electric superchargers actually *restrict* airflow. i remember looking into this on the last car forum i belonged to (i had a taurus SHO). at WOT the car needed something like 500scf of air to make full power. the electric "supercharger" could only push around 250-300scf of air. therefore it would have lowered your performance.

there are alot of scams out there. be careful. the only thing i found that ever worked was the transmission "performance chip". for $5 i figured 'what the hell?'. it was an inline resistor that fooled your ECU into thinking the fluid pressure in the tranny was low. in response it would boost fluid pressure making your car shift harder/faster/whatever. i could chirp tires in second gear, but at the price of what it was probably doing to the car it wasn't worth it.

remember, "caveat emptor".

No shit? How much modification is needed? And do you lose some gains from it?

thats awesome, where did you get this 5.00 chip?
my cousin had a cherry red 93 SHO, and it was PIIIIMP and fast, but i do think the TL-S could wax it

you don't want that chip, it will hurt your tranny in the long run

the problem with any electric supercharger is not the CFM, it's the PSI they can put out... for instance, a house fan moves a butt load of cfm but lie it on its face and it probably won't lift off the ground, no PSI...

well i bought the thing about 3 years ago now on ebay. i would recommend against it though. it really does just put stress on the tranny. i think at the end of my ownership of my SHO i could not have kept up with a stock TLS. i had a couple of power mods done:

port matching on the intake/cylinder heads
complete a/f curve remap with an upgraded computer
cai

and i don't think i would been far behind a TLS, but i don't really think i would have kept up. i had a complete port & polished intake manifold in my garage i was gonna put on it but i sold it before i even bothered. i think with the P&P i could have kept up with a stock TLS. the engine was 220hp stock and i think between all my mods i could have made up to 250hp.

i know CT SC will fit all 2G tl's because this topic has been discussed many times, I would do it in a heartbeat if I had 5k to throw around.
