Looks promising! Hopefully they just removed the strut bar temporarily for room to work. Any more details you could share Rich? I for one am very excited to see some turbo support from a reputable company. If their kit is of the same quality my PCD was when I got it then this will be a great kit.

Saw this on fb... It really just looks like the turbo was placed at the back of the bay and a picture taken lol

Nonetheless, just a photo-op to tell people you're working on a new project.

MGCU2

Agreed, doesn't look like much at the moment but I can't wait to see how it plays out!

optimusaccord

I'm sure that his kit will be great.

The issues I've ran into with mine, this picture just fills me with an overwhelming sense of meh. If they mount the turbo like that, their kit is going to look very much like Utah's kit, which if you ask Utah, he would not run a kit like that again. The way that mine is set up, is the way to go.

All I need is my mechanic to fing finish it up.

useless unless 09-10 tsx. no tuning for 11+. no tuning means turbo is useless/

where is a simple catback/ something people might actually buy.

optimusaccord

client: I've been asking for a reasonable cat back exhaust.

answer: No one will buy it.

So, the next logical leap is: make a turbo kit!

MGCU2

I've got an 09 so thats not an issue of mine, I'll be turboed fairly soon after I start my new job. Can't wait to see yours finished optimus maybe it'll help rv6 to make a more effecient kit to see how yours is done!

optimusaccord

I'm still wanting to get mine done. The excitement wears off, and it's just reality now.

I hope the cars paint hasn't gotten too faded sitting outside. I have never left it outside more than a day. It should be almost done, just lacking a cat back, and the catalytic convertor to be welded into the down pipe, that is the only outstanding issue.

I can confirm that RV6 has recently acquired a 2009 TSX 6MT as thier new shop car and a dyno. I can also confirm that the turbo is all bolted up and not just sitting in the engine bay...

Richie v6

The turbo is attached to custom cast stainless manifold. The angles have been optimized for clearance and fitment. We will have more detail up soon.


We have the tubing for the exhaust systems bent and sitting on the shelf. Once we finish some existing projects it will be fully focused on the TSX.

Hopefully Ktuner comes through.

This is awesome. Thanks Richie, can't wait to see what you have in store.

optimusaccord

Richie: You guy's almost have an exhaust?

Is it single or dual?

Are all the pipes decided on? If so, What would you think about selling just the unwelded parts?

Admittedly, the meh feeling mentioned earlier has to do with my issues, my mechanic, and not so much the product being presented.

My public apology.

I just didn't think that a kit made for the car would run into a multi month more or less hang up. It has been trying as hell to not just part it out so that I can drive my car again.

It's pretty fing embarrassing at the end of the day.

MGCU2

That meh will go away when you first hit boost optimus I'm excited to hear from you on here once its done (:

UTAH TSX

I wish we lived closer, I would have that thing done in one weekend, sorry for the problems you are having, I though you were about done weeks ago, you have my number call any time

UTAH TSX

What turbo are you using ? will it be external or internal wastegated ? T3 or T4 flage ?

Jaheri_cbp

So stoked about more CU2 support!!! This is awesome!! Can't wait to see what comes next!!

MGCU2

I really hope I'll be able to use the efr 7670 Scott because you seem to have lots of good to say about it

Richie v6

It will be a dual system 2.5" tuned to work rasp free with a the PCD we make. Right now its just 2 mandrel bent pieces of stainless tube.

You have nothing to be sorry about it. It was a vague picture to get people talking.

In this world everything takes multi months. That's why I don't like to give estimated dates. There are so many things out of your control

We are mocking up with a 62626, Precision makes two T3 turbine frames we will be supporting. Both externally wastegated. This pretty much covers 300-900WHP with options for journal or ball bearing.

EFR turbos are great however they are over priced and overkill for what we are trying to accomplish. A smaller size journal bearing turbo will have great response at half the cost. Anymore than 400WHP and reliability becomes a issue and you will be spending more that 3x the cost of the turbo setup to hold the power reliably. This is where most people run out of funds and give up. We are looking to build a affordable and reliable kit with realistic goals.

UTAH TSX

I will put a deposit on a drone free cat back high flow system good for turbo charged txs today, my system is dronning my brains loose

thank you!!!

Richie, Since you have a chassis, could you churn out a 3" single exit exhaust for me? SS, and shipped down to the house?

Please.

Jaheri_cbp

Ditto!

I want single exit mandrel bent but don't know if 3" will be too big b4 running boost (via supercharger or now maybe turbo). But I want it anyway!! Money talks.. Let me know how much I need to get the mouth moving

Pretty please with whip cream and a cherry on top.

Richie v6

Have you tried a bigger resonator?

Everything we make is setup for mass production. That way everything is tested before shipping. For the 2.5" exhaust tubing we had to get 30 sets made to get the price down to a reasonable level. I could make a single one off system however it might not sound right and wont be tested as well.

optimusaccord

I'm kind of putting faith into the turbo and the cat quieting it down as much as possible...

I'm open to suggestions sir, I really am.

What about a 3 inch pipe, back to the Y? And then two 2.5"?

Could this be setup?

UTAH TSX

Yes I have 2 18 inch resonators one magnaflow and one mbr and two magnaflow mufflers all 3 inch from the turbo back

Richie v6

Anything is possible. My only concern using a 3" tube with the current flange. There really isn't enough meat for a good seal. We will most likely have to change flange shapes.

What RPM? Any pictures?

UTAH TSX

It's lower RPM 1500-2500 when the turbo spools up at 2500 it goes away
page 12 at the bottom I added one more resonator and wrapped all of the pipe and both resonators

optimusaccord

I am running the same flange, the 3 bolt 3" flange that Utah is running.

Richie v6

Odd it would still drone. What RPM did it drone before the resonators.

UTAH TSX

Seems to be the same before and after just not as loud, I put a singel flowmaster muffler on before the magnaflow mufflers and it was even worse, the noise is in the back of the car trunk area ( dynamated it but helped very little )

rezare

Richie, any idea how much the catback would cost? A ballpark figure would be fine.

Richie v6

Maybe 800-1000.

You're better off watching them on FB.

This thread hasn't been touched for 6 months.

KenB350z

Any future plans on a turbo kit for the RDX?

iCrap

The RDX has a turbo on it already...?

KenB350z

Yes, most of the RDX owners have the stock turbo. I currently have an upgraded turbo. But, hoping a company could produce a turbo kit..

KenB350z

You know, aftermarket turbo kit usually have bigger turbos.
