That was my thoughts after seeing the flyby videos the car is ridiculous. All these people giving him a hard time are just haters. Maybe it does need tuning but dont give the guy a hard time for christ sake he is the first to supercharge a TL-S obviously it will take tunning and time to key it in.

 

I don't believe anyone doubted it, there were some questions about his dynograph (i.e.TQ curve and in my case the smoothness of the graph).
In my opinion, these are fair questions to ask. I'll say it again like I did in one of my other posts, good job guys on getting the Type S S/C.

 

its 3 am, I am still all jacked up on mountain dew, and want to scissor kick all you haters in the back of the head...... since we are quoting movies.... a-spec front and rear bumpers are on S car as well

 

supercharging the RL?


you are calling my NAME

 

csmeance...the limiter is 135
<-------got to that speed already

 

privat netz... nice wheels, not the most durable sadly

 

Concur exactly. I hope you guys keep at the tuning to try an eek a little more out of the SC as well.

Not to be the wet blanket, but you have successfully supercharged a 3.5L TL-S and brought it to the same power levels of a typical supercharged 3.2L.

Again, I recognize you're retrofitting something not designed to work in this application, and for that you deserve commendation, but I for one look forward to the longevity impacts, as well as any further power you can eek out of this thing.

Keep at it, or I'll put that evil on you.

 

i think they need to run the HBP... with the loss they are experiencing in boost using the regular pulley (i think they said they are getting 2-3lbs)...the HBP will probably deliver 6lbs or so

 

but the air will be super hot with the HBP, thus power output will probably be slightly higher than before, but with more danger involved due to the extra boost. Their best bet would be to upgrade the cooling system and add methanol injection to help reduce intake temperatures with the HBP. Also the methanol will add a little more octane to help prevent pinging.

 

+1 for meth. if i ran a s/c or turbo id add a meth kit without question

 

hbp went on the same day as the dyno, just post dyno. it's posted on page 13 or 14

 

+1 meth injection is a good idea, along with injector size, fuel system upgrade, etc,,..... but when its all said and done, i think it all boils down to the blower being to small even for the 3.2, let alone the 3.5.. just for reference, the SS cobalt comes with a m62 and thats on a 2.0

BTW, did they ever mention how they "tweaked" the ACM for the bigger dissplacement?? or did i miss it somewhere?

 

Jesus...

 

2 days until Manhattan, and still no hood...... I am going to scissor kick VIS in the back of the neck

 

hahahaha, that hood that's on there now just needs to be buffed a little...ok maybe a lot...nah, it's not that bad, besides who's gonna look at the hood???

 

drive down with the bad hood, then take it off for the meet

 

hahahah, it's bad, a tree fell on his car!

 

nothing a torch and a mallet can't fix...

 

hahaha, no actually it looks really good! He is just waiting for his new hood. NY meet on Sunday YAY!!

 

Go hoodless like all the 5-Oh Mustang guys around my town.

 

the custom gauge panel is made, all thats left is to put the subs back in to it, and clean it...... Oh, and a hood would be cool

 

Well, we made it to the NY meet safe and sound, but on the way back, I was passin a van goin over a bridge, and as soon as I crested the bridge, there was a tree limb right in front of me. Carrielynn behind me, van on my right, and water on the left..... Couldn't go anywhere. Ended up takin the limb right in the front bumper. Pulled about a foot and a half out of the drivers side fog light. Was pretty angry about that. Oh, well, gotta call the ins company and file a claim, and hopefully have it fixed by the CT meet.

 

^ yea, that sucks!
That thing was a freakin TREE! It was huge, I hit it too after you did but most of it was stuck in your car... I think we were both going too fast to swerve even if we could have...
I still feel bad about it but your car isn't too bad, it could have been alot worse!
If you need some acura parts let me know and I'll get you a price on the fog or whatever you are gonna replace. I know 2 people that work in acura parts dept

 

why do trees keep hittin ur car man, nature doesnt want a blown type s

 

Who did you buy your hood from that is taking this long getting it to you?

 

????crested???? We are all car people (carrie can count to)

 

Vis only had cl hoods, and they thought they had tl hoods, and waited to find out, until after i order the hood direct for vis. So i am the dick that cant get s-heng his hood.

 

when i ordered mine... i got it in about 4 business days via freight trunk

you might need to make a few slight modifications to make it fit... (lower the latch, dremmel a large opening in the hood to accomodate the latch)

 

Did you order it from ebay or VIS direct?

 

I ordered mine from ebay, VIS brand, cheaper and quicker then buying from VIS direct. Took about a week or so.

 

Same here, installation was a breeze.

 

uh, yea guys, I think they can handle the installation no problem, after all they did make the one and only supercharged type s right? I think they can install a hood....
If they had the hood hahahaha

 

where did everyone go

 

I'm here......who else matters??

 

me 2, im a whore!

 

Any updates??

 

hey man, i asked earlier in this thread, but dont feel like reading 15 pages

this kit just bolted up? how did the transmission mount go? plug and play? or custom fabbed??

 

^^ NICE wheels!

 

hey, i been reading but kinda too lazy to go through the rest. can someone either put up a list of mods needed to do all this and maybe what you did with the ecu or just pm it to me? thanks

 

They're not finished, and we're not even sure if this will hold out in the long run.

At this point, I would suggest going for other mods than this at the moment.
