Huh? Aren't there like 20+ guys with the Comp-Tech SuperCharger already up and running (for more than 2 years now)? I realize that you need an ECU programmed from Comptech to get the maximum out of these or you can alternately tune (a bit) by using eManage Blue. What's SO different here? Has anyone tried doing the Turbo yet?
s_heng_62 is doing this for te 3.5 TL-S... which people have not tried--until now.
As for turbo... I think there's a turbo thread somewhere that someone is trying to work out.

Yes reflashable!!..and with that being done you can fine tune any TL,TL-S, and so on to get the most out of the intake and exhaust,blower,ect- bolt on's.
S heng who cracked it and would love to get my MDX tuned!!,with the mods I've done so far.TY.

Guys are *dying* for this. Somebody needs to post up how to make it happen for the man in the street. Group Buy, etc.

"Cracking" a Honda ECU wasn't the difficult part, at least in the sense of having access to the fuel/ignition tables. Creating an EMS that will work with the drive-by-wire system and not disable half the cars features is the problem. I've been bugging a friend about it (who created a widely known EMS system for B-Series on Hondas) to look into the TL but the demand/market just isn't there to invest the time and money. I'm sure that's why Hondata never went through with their work on the TL.
Hondata recently released K-Pro for the TSX which utilizes both the stock ECU and the K-Pro module which work in cohesion, allowing for full adjustment of the fuel tables, ignition tables, and other engine parameters, without farking up everything else. Likely that will be the route that needs to be taken if anyone ever decides to create something for the TL.

along time ago, i had the crazy idea to run an aem ems... but not as a stand-alone but as a piggyback... similar to how hondata does for the kpro... ps tsx kpro is almost $2k

^^It depends on the blower. If he's using the same blower that comptech makes for the 3.2, the high boost pulley would help offset the higher displacement of the type S. IDK what the HBP is rated at (7psi?), but the blower would make a little less that its rating. Problem is, the more the air is compressed, the hotter it gets too leading to lower efficiency. A custom made pulley would be ideal.

so how is everything going? you are real close to me.... and if you've got an expert tuner in your area, i will need to be using him as well!!
Also, the HBP is a good idea, since the regular pulley that makes (4-5psi) will probably only make 3-4psi with the change of displacement from 3.2L to 3.5L...
are you installing a boost gauage? a/f gauge?

Seriously, he needs to think about becoming a vendor here. Guy's will eat up an ECU reflash. *Especially* if he can do S/C and non-S/C.

cant wait for the results bro...kudos to you for doing this... i was on the verge of it, but the ACM/tuning slowed me down....
have you considered j-pipe or pre-cat deletes?... with all those, and 6spd tranny.. you should be making 350whp
another guy (types09) made 327whp with the 3.2L and those mods... so figure, HBP and the extra .3L / 28hp = around 355-360ish depending on the dyno used

Ah, thanks for setting me straight. I didn't see the "Type-S" designation in my first review. Good to see work continuing with the S-type development.
