HAS ANYONE SEEN THIS!!! possible new supercharger-
 
I was roaming tsx.acurazine, and look what I found-
https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34434

I don't know if that link worked, but 'Red Shift' motorsports is using a rotrex powered supercharger to make 380 bhp on a tsx. They plan to develop a system for the tl soon! Lets not scare them away from us w/ our high expectations and demands, but hopefully, a new option for FI will arrise from this. Check out their website, www.redshiftmotorsports.com. I havent contacted anyone from their shop yet, but we should get them here on our boards :what:

nice find... I guess comptech has some serious competition on there hands now...

lookinco 11-28-2006 06:25 PM

I think it they really do come through, it will still take them a while to develop one for the TL.

lifetimeofwar 11-28-2006 07:17 PM

Nice find. :thumbsup:

Meek32v6 11-28-2006 07:46 PM

beautiful FIND!! that is nice:biggrin:...doesn't look as bulky either but who know what the final production might look like...either way, something nice to look forward too...might have to pick up a summer job for that.lol

ubnpast 11-28-2006 07:59 PM

NICE. Optional 2 speed supercharger drive :)

skyy406 11-28-2006 10:47 PM

If I got the Comptech /C is tehre anyway to intercool or aftercool it?

lookinco 11-28-2006 10:51 PM

Water/Methanol injection

Laxplaya11385 11-29-2006 12:52 AM

Look at bottom of page. they're looking for development vehicles! Someone near Dallas, PA PLEASE go for us!

i would do it, but i'm about 2 1/2 hours away, AND this is my only car...

pohljm 11-29-2006 01:24 AM

Hell.............I'll move to Dallas!

crzygosu87 11-29-2006 04:19 AM

hopefully comptech's prices will drop a little in fear of the competition :D

ubnpast 11-29-2006 09:03 AM

Ill go, maybe ill get a free one! Only 2 hours away.

JOES05tl 11-29-2006 11:36 AM

Go get one! They might need your car for a while though, working with hondata for engine management :thumbsup:

chill_dog 11-29-2006 03:33 PM

^^^ He said Dallas, PA...and being in NJ, he is only a couple of hours away, just like the other people saying they are close.

TLdriver022 11-29-2006 06:21 PM

Finally a possible alternative to the comptech supercharger!

ubnpast 11-29-2006 07:43 PM

Funny they dont answer there phone all day.

He did not say Dallas, PA. He said DALLAS. Just wanted to make sure people knew it was PA not TX.

Excelerate 11-29-2006 10:51 PM

Here we go in another forum. This guy is posting on all these different forums and everyone is getting ready to drop Comptech b/c this guy "says" he is going to produce a supercharger kit. Comptech has been here from the beginning and has been the only company offering products like a supercharger kit for the CL/TL/TSX. I'm just surprised ppl will dump a company so quickly on the slim chance this guy is actually going to produce something.

pimpin-tl 11-30-2006 08:12 AM

lol sorry. :(

becker800 11-30-2006 08:18 AM

I e-mailed them about using my TL..

also Pm'ed the guy

got nothing so far, just have to wait and see

dan.....k 11-30-2006 09:12 AM

Comptech > Red Shift. Just my :2cents:

PeterUbers 11-30-2006 10:29 AM

Unfortunately, I agree... Comptech > Redshift .. only b/c they've been doing it for many more years that Redshift on Acura/Honda products. Plus, that TL charger is now time tested ... (so to speak) ..

chill_dog 11-30-2006 11:00 AM

Where was CT years ago when they started? Where was Hyundai when they first came to America? Everybody has to start somewhere. Being the new kid on the block doesn't mean you don't know what you're doing, it just means you need to learn where everything is...once you get your bearings, you can go anywhere and do anything. Competition is good, and I, for one, am glad there is another company interested in making products for Honda/Acura.

I agree, and especially someone using different blower technology and a seemingly strong colaboration effort with hondata

sunnyflava99 11-30-2006 02:36 PM

I'm willing to give them a shot. Hell, I'd love to have a 350+HP TL.

lookinco 11-30-2006 03:43 PM

The comptech supercharger is more then capable of making 350whp on the TL. What's more important is the tuning which we don't have much options of.

@sport 11-30-2006 04:47 PM

Well said chill_dog.

Redshiftmotorsports 11-30-2006 05:33 PM

Hey all!! First time posting here. I assure you, we have gotten many calls and e-mails about the TL supercharger and it WILL happen. I do not have a time frame as of yet, due to a couple of othere vechiles in the development line first. Thanks Greg

EternaLlx 11-30-2006 07:49 PM

ctsc only provide max boost at near redline. Redshiftmotors is making a sc that can provide max or a lot more boost at lower rpms that means redshift sc VS ctsc ct will lose because redshift has more power under the curve

I spoke with chris today, hope you guys keep me informed :thumbsup:

I do agree with you that the rotrex supercharger is more superior then the Eaton roots type supercharger because it is able to boost higher while creating less heat. It is able to boost efficiently up to 20psi without excess heat, but for sure the stock TL motor would not be able to take it.

Depending on your power goals, the comptech supercharger provide more then enough power then what your stock engine can take.

I would still like to see the results of the Rotrex supercharger. One thing I like about it is the fact that we could use a BOV so we get the PSSSSSS sound. However the rotrex supercharger does not make the loud WHINE like the comptech supercharger does.

He's a crazy one that Chris :) 20psi no, but can it be more efficent than a roots blower. Probably no PSSSSSSSSSSST just cause it will most likley be a recirc. BOv. Sorry :)

will it have a nice whine sound?

lookinco 11-30-2006 11:10 PM

With the Rotrex supercharger, you won't have the whine.

Here is a video of a integra TypeR with the Rotrex supercharger. You can have an idea of how it will sound like. http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...62230476296874

lifetimeofwar 11-30-2006 11:12 PM

I guess were gonna have a pretty good sleeper haha.

Edit: nvm

lookinco 11-30-2006 11:14 PM

Well with a BOV it will sound like a turbo! haha

EternaLlx 11-30-2006 11:57 PM

that guy driving is messing up his clutch big time... no heel nd toe. just put it in gear and let go of clutch

ubnpast 12-01-2006 10:12 AM

Someone correct me if im wrong but on supecharged cars isnt it called a pressure relief valve. bov is for turbos...
