ok aziners, I just checked out this car and OMG it is sick! I even got to go for a ride in it 
I absolutely LOVE it! I said it before and I will say it again, anyone that has any doubts about this car needs to come to the NY meet to check it out. Then after you see if if you have anything negative to say then you are just a hater because the car is ridiculous!!

I'll say it again like I did in one of my other posts, good job guys on getting the Type S S/C.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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