CT-Engineering Supercharger
#41
NO kidding haha that sounds awesome, im salivating at the thought of it haha. Ya it is a little big, i love the look of those things tho man. Its like a UFO with 4 wheels. TSX is the perfect size. Idk whether to go with the CT-E supercharger, or go with a RDX turbo.....

A RDX turbo kit sounds like to much work to me. I would love someone to try it, sounds cool. With the CT-E supercharger kit, I don't have to worry about anything. Install and go.

I know its not a bolt on, but me and my local performance mechanic were thinking of putting one in, and running a turbo back exhaust. Ya i know what you mean he told me if would run me around the same price as what the CT-Engineering one would. so im thinking about it

I ordered my blower!!!!!
(Ahem, that is to say my a/c in the house took a dump yesterday so I have a new (a/c) blower being installed for a cost of SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS!)
Holy crap! That's going to put a dent in the CTE Blower monies.
Dammit!

Anxiously waiting. I'm game to do a 0-60 run with you when I come out for the meet to see the difference in acceleration. As long as DarwoodEE isn't around...

I just called and they had to add more fuel. The factory injectors were cutting out about 6500 rpm. I should know more the first part of the week. I might have to fly down to Cali to pick it up to make the car meet.

Oh, cool, then if I had to *guess*, then the injectors and subsequent management *might* work like other boosted apps where you change the injectors and the management can appropriately manage a low boost pulley or a smaller high boost one. Woohooo!

TSX supercharged or '10 TL 6-spd
Team,
Apologies up front if this is in the wrong area, but it does have to do with the upcoming supercharger.
I am in a bit of a dilemma and need your input. I love my '09 TSX 6-speed, blue/ebony, but my wife has a TL which is equally nice. Considering trading in my TSX on a '10 TL 6-spd, but just not sure. Was planning on waiting for the supercharger/cat back/headers/etc for the TSX, but not sure any longer.
Thoughts?
Thanks - netsecguy

True fact, i'm leaning towards the CT-E supercharger anyway just because me acura dealer where i brought my car from sells it so they said the supercharger wouldnt void my warranty NICE!!!!

I wouldn't be afraid of a 6MT J35 with/without a s/c, just very afraid of an auto J35.
In all likelihood I will do a blower on this car, too, in the meantime, I'm really digging the 26- 28.6+ mpg in mixed use, either.

I would wait to see what kit of power that my TSX makes before you decide. I hope to see around the 280 to 300 hp mark. That would beat the V6 TSX and the 6-speed TL.

Base boost won't be that much, hell, a .20" smaller pulley wouldn't do that alone. You'd have to have cams & exhaust & clutch & & & &&&&&&&&&&

I know I will be missing a few things for the full power gains. All that I think I am missing is cams and a clutch. I would hope for around 240hp @ the wheels with low boost. Still more than the V6

That'd be pretty strong, the thing about CTE hp/tq is that it's *unlike* Schtealin' (Stillen) horsepower where intakes add 100hp at the wheels. =)
Considering the lack of extra weight from the V6, this is going to make for a potent little package. I can't wait. Then again, that GD home air conditioner system expense in January is going to set me back a bit...dammit. >=O

I have not seen the Dyno yet. I will post it as soon as I get it. I looks like just shy of 250hp at the wheels at stock boost. They are going to finish the daily drive duties and than retest at full throttle again. If it stays at that number that is just shy of a 70hp increase.

I guess the K series is boost friendly(er).
What has the base boost been quoted as of yet? It'd like have to be 8psi. (?) It's not aftercooled, right?
I should just shaddup and wait for the press release.

I'm sorry but I don`t have any info for you yet. I will be back in contact with them next week and I will post everything that I know. I do know that it is not aftercooled.

8 psi....
That'll make a big difference percentage wise over the 5.5 psi kits on the J32's.
What a difference tunable management & different injectors would make over a FMU.
