official 3G turbo thread I've been talking with my peers and have generated some excitement and interest with regards to making a production TL turbo kit. If it gets off the ground, there will be a lot of work ahead.

I need a show of hands of the people that would seriously be interested in a dependable, well built, easy to install(as possible) and safe(all else considered) turboed TL. I need to see who is really serious so I can get an idea of what the market is for us to do this and it be affordable enough/worth it to do.

As you know this is in the infant stages so anything can happen. I only hope that you guys see what I'm trying to do. Please don't be afraid to expand your knowledge in this field.....ask questions if you don't understand something.

Let the learning(we are all learning as we go) begin

TeamXRSX

Infamous_Ghost769

im Down With it But i have a 2002-TLP AT. If your project can also be used for 2nd Generations, i think alot of 2nd Generations will also be Interested!

I think that one of the attractions for the turbo is the fact that so many of the "other" cars have been done so inexpensively. If the Turbo puts out more HP AND cost less than the S/C options, I think you would have your hands full of orders. Just keep the whole package quality-based and under $3K and you will have a lot of takers.

I don't see a Turbo kit being under $3000 to be honest, unless you do a 25 person group buy, maybe.

count me in!! AT

Id love a turbo, (AT)...price ~+/- 5500 and a thanks to TeamXRSX for trying to get things going.

TeamXRSX

i would like to keep the kit under 4 grand for sure. i want the kit to be affordable. as for making power? it will dmake more than the comptech sc for sure.

FiveLiterCheater

How serious are you about this? I have about $2,800 to blow on the TL....should I just wait and keep saving?

littletruong

would this work on a 7th gen v6 spd accord??

TeamXRSX

im very serious. i have already contacted my people and are just waiting to find a vendor to sign on to the project. i will engineer the kit to be the perfect bolt on turbo kit we are all looking for. the customer will have a few options to work with for the stage he/she wants to run....i.e. turbo selection, downpipe size...ect. we will want to keep the kit upgradable for future room to improve power numbers according to what the end user sees fit. this will come in handy if you decide to fully build you block...ect.

CJ

we are going to test several setups to see what works best. there is alot of r&d that needs to be done and like i stated, its really early in the game. but it seems everybody is interested and the people that are pivital in making this happen are signing on, so lets keep our fingers crossed.

FiveLiterCheater

If things do go through, when do you think we'll be able to actually purchase a kit?

hmmm i think an intercooler should be considered as welll unlike the CTSC considering heat obviously plays one of the largest roles in power ... that would be awesome

TeamXRSX

im hoping by summertime we wil be done with r&d and eady to start mass producing the kit. really just depends on engine management issues. im not at liberty to say exactly what will be done with that(yet), but it will be done right!! im not gonna half ass something with my tame on it. this thing will be done right or it wont be done at all.

CJ

TeamXRSX

obviously this is just specutaion but once we get into building some prototypes we will know more. there are several options for this kit, smic, fmic and even no intercooler at all(using a very proven technique). we will know more in testing.

CJ

crzydrifter

I'll Definitely be interested... AT Tranny here...

EnvisionTL

Definitely be interested if you can keep it in the price range +/- 4k. +1 AT. Thanks for your hard work XRSX

I'd be intersted if:

1) cheaper than CTSC
2) similar results to CTSC
3) if its just a simple bolt on (ie no other things need changed)

If we have to get an intercooler and this and that, CTSC might still be the way I'll go.

FiveLiterCheater

Lol, its gonna be kind of hard to run a turbo setup without an intercooler...wouldnt it?

EnvisionTL

Let's see how this pans out. Didn't some CTSC guys want the intercooler anyhow?

Meek32v6

iTrader: (7)

not really...just not recommend
different variables...depends on how much you are boosting.

Meek32v6

iTrader: (7)

I'd be interested..(AT)
sounds like you would be done a lot sooner than me
Guess ima just have to pick up an extra income over the summer.lol

EnvisionTL

Appreciate you starting the old thread to brainstorm about Turbocharging the TL. Kudos!

TeamXRSX

you are right, all hondas deserve to be turboed. unfortunatly, i dont have the man power to do both at the same time. sorry 2G guys.

CJ

TeamXRSX

yes, thanks for everybody that had the desire to do this. im just thankful i have the resources to be able to try and pull this off.

CJ

evolpe

I'll definitely be down with a turbo. This might be the kind of thing that will make me keep the TL instead of getting the new G Coupe when it comes out. Who knows, that might have a turbo as well.
