Was curious, is there anyway to achieve a better low-end torque on the i4 TSX? My previous car (also an i4) seemed a bit more peppy. Not looking to swap the engine or anything, just some conservative mods.

Thanks guys.

Pulleys pulleys pulleys

KillerG

there are no performance modifications available for the 2011 TSX.

remove resonator, more for throttle response but it helps.

tsxronald

I pray..

ejongjin

light weight rims!

its rayden

buy new car.

KillerG

This guy knows exactly whats up

I also recommend purchasing a new 2011 Tsx, it will likely solve all your problems

Remove the resonator

sr20bet

has this been dyno'ed ? just curious?

any links to data?

mkeefe

Removed the resonator today. Ordered pulleys, should be installed on Tuesday. Going rim shopping soon and going to drop the stock down-pipe (about 18 lbs).

if you really want low end torque, add in ported runners with a downpipe and an intake.

ecko508

Killer? your kidding me right if anything the intake and downpipe are more for high end power. Pulleys like i said is really the only way for low end torque. out of curiosity killer what do you even have done to your car?

KillerG

well everyone on 8th accord that added the ported runners and downpipe commented on the fact that they enjoyed the increased throttle response and low end pull. If you'd like, i could pull up all the threads and quote them all for you


on my car? i added a leather steering wheel cover



so far i am really enjoying the increased handling. A must for anyone looking for more performance out of their car

I can't speak on the intake runners but an intake? Really! Lol that robs low end power

its rayden

you can also add 2 more cylinders for more low end torque

tsxronald

Did everyone forget to tell him to add stickers yo! Each sticker adds 10whp

KillerG

I gotta ask also, if you have any idea what you are talking about, because i did go through and spend the time reading all the relevant threads on and my8thgen. When im curious about something i usually end up searching for information before before i jump to a conclusion

And for that matter, do you have any actual qualifications or are you just pretending to be mildly intelligent?
What have you done to YOUR car that makes you the authority on torque all of a sudden?

And for the record you also seem to ask alot of redundant questions even in threads where theyve been answered already, so excuse me if i dont take your word for stuff immediately, if youd like I will go through your post history and post this stuff as well

simply put, Honda/Acura's has always been known for high revving engines that lack low end torque.

Throwdown released a downpipe and accompanied dyno.
Although the dyno is lacking in information, based on what I know from modifying the 3G TL, the downpipe will move the entire power band up. Thus, increasing torque as well as HP.
The dyno for the i4 down pipe showed an increase of 10hp at peak power.
I believe the whole power band has shifted as well, giving you at least 10lbs of torque.

Some one purchase the downpipe and do before and after dynos!!!


A pully wont necessarily give you torque. you will reach redline much faster, you wont be able to feel it in your butt dyno

Disclaimer*
I'm not familiar with the I4 engine and dont know how it reacts to mods. cruise through the 1st gen TSX section to find out what they did to increase low end torque.

I will say this, I'm searching for low end torque on my six cylinder TL. from what I have concluded, short of a small turbo to spool at around 2300RPM, there isnt a way to increase torque.

russel082581

was kinda thinking the same thing, anyway..
ive always noticed a LITTLE more low end when i add an intake. for example, when i had my 08 base TL, a friend of mine had the EXACT same car. we raced a few times it was pretty even of course. after adding a CAI i would ALWAYS pull on him not much but definitely you could see a difference. i would always be almost a car length ahead whereas when stock was pretty even.

ecko508

I have the UR pulleys, The Takeda CAI and a p2r TB spacer....but anyways sorry for the redundancy in my posts. Killer what do you have done to your parents car?

KillerG

my mom and dad dont let me do anything to their car. I am only allowed to show it to my friends when they come over

KillerG

for the record, you are still a retard, and you also apparently dont know how to use the search feature, i am positive i could go through your entire post history and find answers to every redundant question youve asked in regards to well...anything.

ive read every thread regarding the matter on DA.net and my8thgen, and other forums, so ive also read reviews from other people that installed the downpipe, ported runners, and intakes on the k24 engine (which ironically could also the latest question you asked in the downpipe thread, but ive decided to just ignore your idiocy at certain points). So i did my research before i ran my mouth. If you take some initiative and do a little searching, you will find a wealth of information, and for the record, you have no idea how i got my car, so fuck you, for all i know mommy and daddy paid for your car and those disgusting chrome rims you haul around

ecko508

Looks like I struck a nerve with killer. Thanks for all of the insults over a forum. Your a true stand up guy. I see you come to Boston alot ,anytime you wanna get together and grab a cup of tea over some great riveting conversation dont hesitate to send me a message. I'd be more than happy to make time to get to know you a little better on a personal level and have you voice some of your opinions in person rather over a forum. I know your like a cult of personality for the young kids on here so I'll let you keep doing your thing

KillerG

I do, and I am a stand up guy, for the record. I have lots of fun trolling, but when someone is genuinely obnoxious like you, it does strike a nerve. Even in threads where someone has offered an answer to your question, you have said "i didnt ask you, did i?" like what the fuck, really?. I honestly cant imagine you have many real life friends, so if you really do need someone to hang out with, I will be happy to sit down and have coffee with you.


Its not like the young kids here are sucking my dick either, its just a matter of being personable and friendly, even if it is the internet. A little less hostility would go a long way towards making your time on the forum more enjoyable. Even if someone is wrong, and from time to time I am wrong as well, there is a polite way and an impolite way to approach the situation.

Mind you, this all started because you were too uptight to take a joke in the first place, and concurrently still act like you are better than everyone else on these forums

You catch more bees with honey than you do with vinegar

ed_423

i believe tsxkid is.

and damn, havent seen such a serious comment from you for a while lol

ecko508

Thanks Ed...lol sorry for the way I make u feel killer let's just move onward with our forum lives, no hostility to you I'm just having some fun with u as well you just take me to serious.

KillerG

i really dont see how you are getting by the best of me by asking redundant, easily answered questions which we have already gone over several times and being hostile to people

but if thats your definition of fun then by all means, carry on

And im also moving to boston next year. Maybe ill be your neighbor

ecko508

Hope we can get together for some tea. That would be great Again what mods do u have done to your car killer?

KillerG

I have a CAI installed, and ive done my research on the other parts, to answer your question. Check out drive accord, a lot more people have the downpipe installed and a few with runners if you are interested.
