Just curious if anybody else out there doing any performance mods on their 10+ V6 TSX.... if so what have you done?

 

because the engine is the same and the suspension is the same, you can do everything that the TL owners have done.

- 4 inch diameter cold air intake
- bored throttle body
- ported and polished intake manifold
- type-s heads
- type-s cams
- pre-cat-deletes
- Jpipe
- exhaust
- nitrous
- turbocharger
- supercharger

warning! short of F/I, these modifications wont increase power by a lot....
especially with an auto transmission

 

Without tuning capabilities how much of a difference will that stuff even make though? And also you can't even go F/I on the V6 TSX can you? No Hondata.

 

ugh Screw Hondata! they're not willing to work with anybody... and LOL who said there was no tuning capability =P.... I'm tuned =X and going to retune next week...

 

i dyno'd stock at 220whp in my 6MT TL.
then with, most of those mods (thousands and thousands of dollars later) I dyno'd 240whp.

womp womp womp.


in hindsight, I threw lots of money into the TL only to be marginally faster.....
and its only in vtec that produces most of that power....
down low at like 2k RPM, I didnt see many gains

 

You could replace the engine with a V8. Easy power boost there.

 

is that what you did? that's Amazing -_-

 

You should be around 230WHP stock

Add an intake, J pipe, pre-cat delete and prob bump about 10-20 more. If you want a tune for the V6, then get the Ktuners flash kit

I was going this route....but house hunting came first :\

 

it's good, just like other v6

 

On another topic, I put BC Racing BR series coilovers on my 2010 V6 TSX. I believe I was given 12 kg/mm for the fronts and 6 kg/mm for the rears (whatever BC Racing provides for 2008+ Honda). I changed the rears to 5 kg/mm and they feel much better. I could probably go down to 4 kg/mm and prefer it. The coilovers drastically improved the ride quality for me personally, and I'm guessing the 12 kg/mm and 4 kg/mm would be a good daily driver combination. 12 kg/mm and 5 kg/mm works well. Front coilovers are set 15 clicks (between hard and soft), and rears are set soft.

I put cquence slotted rotors and red stuff pads on as well, but the improvement wasn't that big. It was an inexpensive option, but the rotors already feel significantly warped after 2 years.
