badass bro..makes me wanna go buy a TL-S and supercharge it

So, i am new to acura forums, and never thought i would be on one....... But i am here......

I just want to clear some things up

the ecu was never reflashed. The hardest part about this install was getting any info on the ecu.

S_heng_62 car works with the ct engineeering acm.

I will put any ones kit in.

We did need to do some modifications to acm to make it work with the type s.

I'm just in awe that this project was completed in a few days. Congrats on a job well done.

Subsonic...Any experience installing turbo's w/ minor fab'ing?

Wow man, congrats on this. It's people who have the balls and teh drive to go out on a limb and do something fresh that really make these forums great and expand the true potential of our cars. Kudos!

When i first put a turbo on my mazda, i had to do a lot of fabing. I dont think the type s is capable of getting a turbo, the manifold position, and motor spacing would make connecting the 2 turbos impossible. I dont think that motor could really handle high boost either. Whats the compression 11:1 you would need to also add extra injectors, or completely overhaul the fuel system to crank up the pressure. It would be fun to try if money was no object.

Interesting read. Congrats guys!

I love this state(CT), but seriously one day I hope to see you fly by me, makes me wish I hadn't given the TL away.

dyno

WOW?! project complete? congrats man..jeez! dyno for sure!

will have more pics, vids, and fly-by's later today. have to find somewhere out of the way to really get the true power out of it. plus need to charge up the camera

So I'm assuming you have ran it on a dyno? Only reason I say that is because you seem to be willing to drive it so I'm guessing the AFR is looking good? Or you have a wideband?

congrats on the install man. cant wait to see vids and pics

Welcome to the forums subsonicman! Thanks for joining and posting the details on the install.

Yea you should really wire up an air fuel gauge...

Autometer and Innovative are pretty good

Subsonic: not on a tl on a tsx

we need a meet soon, maybe in the spring time when its in the 60s and 70s, summer time it to far to see "The only SC TL-S" lol hopefully their is warm weather in March or April sometime

you mean 5k SO FAR lol. i'd say a good 6k-6.5k after its said and done.

first off, congrats on being a pioneer and getting this done. i had no doubt in my mind that this was a direct bolt on.

let me give you some good advice though. you've gone this far with the project, dont be stupid and post some drive by WOT videos until you either install a wideband (which should have been the first thing on your budget list) or get it on a dyno to see where you a/f stands. no way, no how, is that ACM POS compech provides is going to give you the right tuning for the 3.5. i think it was a big waste of your time to even wire the damn thing up IMO. be smart and have boomslang make you a custom harness, install a AEM fi/c and get a proper tune before you blow that thing up.

how is boomslang? how can i contact him? AEM wanted nothing to do with this build. guys at Haltec were a massive help. i would love to get a pin out on the ECU. I tried every were, that is the big mystery on this car. only way I got the pin out was wire by wire. I am sure S_heng would get a standalone. PLEASE HELP ME MEET BOOMSLANG

i googled boomslang, it's a custom harness maker

Can i call him?

Aem said there is no wiring for the type s, haltech drew a blank, and ct engineering struck out as well, honda racing was tight lipped, where can one get a pin out!!!!!!

wow....this is just redonkulous! mad props very solid read. now time for the AZ party for the 3.5ers

Boomslang will make one. I have already talked to them. I just need to get 5 made on the initial order.

boomslang might actually provide you with the pinouts if you purchased a harness from them

so, went for a ride in this best of a car today...... HFS was that thing fast!!!!!!!! when I got out, all i could smell was burning rubber!!!!

XLR8- Do you have a Dyno? can we get this machine Dyno'd on Sunday?

$120 for Electrical Service Manual

Part #: 61SEP04EL

The ECU pin out is no secret. I recommend getting the service manual too... but then I thought both of these items would be pretty standard for someone doing this kind of work.

how???... go on there website, dial the contact number and viola!

ask for rustin. he will be glad to help you out

the fi/c will work dont worry about the wiring diagram either. boomslang has it... thats their business. just tell them the year make and model of your tl and they will make a custom harness for you in a couple of days. thats how long it took to receive mine.


really??? thats the first i heard of this. ive bought 3 harnesses from them and never heard of such a thing. they dont list an AEM fi/c PnP harness for my year accord and they were happy to make a custom one for me without demanding a quantity that needed to be ordered. weird

would it not be way more cost effective to run an extra injector set up? I mean lets face it, its only 6-7 pounds of boost after pulley upgrades. the 3.5 is more then capable of adjusting timing to limit knocking, so the only real issue would be fuel? fuel system options are very limited for the type s. it is different then the non type s, I am assuming for the larger displacement..... so, if I am only worried about running lean, doesnt this seam like the cheapest fix. the AEM, is still going to need to use the same stock FPR so, I still have the same problem. crushing the FPR gives you an extra 10 pounds of flow, or does it?

the service manual just has the non type s

definitely ask boomslang about the pinouts... they have them because of a member here who was able to sweet talk the dealer ;0)

You need the factory (Acura) electrical & service manuals, the type-s and base should be in the same manual, with the type-s differences being distinguished. Like "Clean" said it should be no mystery to find the pinouts for the ecu...

This is really cool - I was JUST tellin a friend yesterday about how we couldn't SC the 3.5 but i stand corrected now

damnt... i was in the new london CT area yesterday, shoulda stopped by

subsonicman.. u mentioned the stock FPR.... when you install the blower, didnt you use the comptech FPR crush tool to increase the flow?

alot of people with CLs/2G TLs used the walbro 255

we used the crush tool, but it crushed it too far. So we did some screwin around with it and eventually found the right cruch point. It's only slightly modified

nice avatar, welcome to the boosted club, now you need to dyno and help out the other 3.5 members s/c their vehicles....

the type s reg, and the non type s reg are different. if you use the CT engineering crush tool you ruin the pressure regulator on the type s. so we had to make our own crush tool.

Right... usually Helm/Acura put the base/type s/auto/manual all into one book.

we went about our pin out the old fashion way. the car works great, we will have Dyno results soon. thanks for the help "clean", this should help with the next one we boost!
