07' TL Type-S Chip Mods - Need Help
Hi there,
I purchased an 07 TL Type S about 6 months ago want to do some mods to make it faster and more bad-ass. Someone told me there are some simple mods to take the HP +115. Is this correct? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! Scott

Cold Air Intake
Supercharger
UR Underdrive Pulley
P2R Throttle Body
Outlaw Thermal Body(or whatever theyre called)
Custom Exhaust/Greddy+Comptech Catback
EShift Procats
To name a few...
But I think it's pretty hard to get the TL-S up 115hp. SC'd guys are making around 302whp-320whp.

Simple math: TLS + Cold Air Intake + Supercharger + UR Underdrive Pulley + P2R Throttle Body + Outlaw Thermal Body + Custom Exhaust/Greddy + Comptech Catback + EShift Procats = 335i. That’s just money wise. Other wise it’s less than that.

to get the tl-s 115+ at this very moment is not possible... the highest dyno'd TL-S was at 261hp to the wheels...
PS. TLS + No mods (not =) 335i

first, go to the person who told you that simple mods will get you 115+ and smack him/her firmly across the forehead.
next, press the little box that says 'search' and that will give you plenty of info on what mods are available for your type-s.
lastly, prey that comptech releases a SC kit for your car, or be the first to adapt a 04-06 kit to a type-s with no major snags and your set.

Regardless, 115+ HP? No way. Well, maybe on the PlaySkool Dyno.

pro cats $1200 + 10hp
ur pulley $200 + 0hp
exhaust $900 + 5hp
thermo/manifold stuff $120 + 0hp
intake $200 + 2hp
so $2600ish for 17ish hp
It doesn’t add like that but with some luck it would be somewhere there.

I would love to see some sources that negate hundreds of dyno's over the years

pro cats $1200 + 25whp
ur pulley $200 + 0hp (weight loss+ better reaction time for motor)
exhaust $900 + 8 whp (comptech)
thermo/manifold stuff $120 + 0whp (better cooling to avoid heatsoak
intake $200 + 10whp
first of all, this is WHP on a dyno, not crank HP. These are actually numbers from dynos. There is some other stuff that i can't think of now, but it is possible to get about 60 WHP from some bolt on's besides NOS and a charger/turbo
2620 for 43 WHP

There aren't any boltons for the type s that can generate more than 15hp tops
Ps. The procats won't do jack for the type s... the type s cats are already highflow

thanks for the clarification csmeance, on the ur pulley & manifold I was referring to the hp that is freed up by the product......not actually making hp but better utilizing the current hp (which in my opinion is the same thing). And the exhaust was for the greddy numbers of 8 to 10 hp gain.

just add stickers... everywhere!
you'll get your 100HP easily... just ask some of the fast and furious guys in their civics with shopping cart wings... all they did was add a coffee can in the back of their muffler and tons of stickers... bam!... 100 HP... IT'S THAT EASY!...

is he right?... unfortunately he's a rookie... LOL
I've been doing some reading... without the pictures... and i think the Pro-cats are a good buy... but... according to some people here, the TL-S already has free flowing cats... though not as good as pro-cats... if that is the case... then the extra money you will spend on the pro-cats and install do not justify the extra power you get over stock... also, i highly doubt that everyone is getting 10-12 horses out of the pro-cats (for a TL-S)... somewhere between 6-10 sounds better... i could be wrong... IMO...

I am positive that when you pay couple of thousands for something you really like that it works and that dyno operators know that disappointing customers is not good way to keep them. You do the math.

The numbers in magazines/documents/articals/tests (etc)
are usually just averages... IMO

Why didn't acura just do the 65hp worth of mods stated to the 3.2 and have a 325hp car. No replacement for displacement. That's why acura went to 3.5L The increase in size raises torque(and consequently hp), which makes a difference.

These motors are already getting very healthy output for their design while still keeping them civil and driveable. Is there room for improvement? Of course, the factory is always restrained by emissions, sound, driveability, etc. The whole intake thing to me is funny. Is the stock system restrictive, probably, but how much HP is an aftermarket intake unlocking. 4-5 peak hp? Does that make a difference? Not really. Basically it makes it loud and that's what people equate to performance. I like the sound too, but I"m not spending $200 for a piece of pipe and filter.

Some of us also just like to tweak on things. I've done this to all my MX bikes, ATV's, mountain bikes, etc.
I am personally not looking at getting massive amounts of hp since it is a fwd car, but for me, it's a good combination of comfort, performance and fun. And something that can be driven year round up here in the northeast.
Some people will spend $100.00 on a steak dinner, some opt for McDonalds.......
