Accord AV6 guys had a will to make it fit and did so.

The demand must have gone up, and will continue.



Accord and TL brotherly love!

 

where theres a will, theres a way.

props to those who were involved in it.

 

Looks nice!

 

I know those two guys/cars. It was done at C&C Auto by my buddys shop. The blue car took off the acm and hooked up the e-manage and is stick, and the other car has the acm and is auto. The blue car is crazy fast...

 

i was under the impression comptech raised their prices across the board, not just the blower for the TL

 

They did. Most everything went up last year....the economy certainly suppported it. Shipping/Fuel/Mfg just about all factors increased.

 

The opening of a new market (i.e. 7th Gen Accord sales) should increase sales, which would increasing production numbers, thus increasing economy of scale/manufacturing volume. The resultant manufactucturing cost should be less, which SHOULD result in LOWER prices to the consumer.

In supply and demand terms... Wal-Marts cheap because of Volume sales. CT has increased it's volume and it's price.

Bummer... Look like that SC is slipping even further out of reach... and to raise prices without addressing the surging issue is... unjustified in my mind.

 

How does this kit cost, and does it void the warranty?

 

might want to search it on the forums if you want some exact answers, but basically now it costs more than you would want to pay for (~5k i think) and yes it will void the warranty most likely

 

usually if not always, increases in the cost of raw materials are passed onto the consumer

 

There's nothing raw about any of the materials in that kit. Comptech is an R&D company. That kit is nothing more than a "collection manufactured parts". I can certainly appreciate if thier vendors raise prices, those costs are usually passed on to the end consumer...

My point is that if thier vendors/manuafacturers raised prices , those price increase COULD/SHOULD be reduced by the increase sales volume the 7th gen accord brings...

The bottom line is Comptech probably sell so few of these, it's hardly worth thier time investment, and thus the exhorbitant cost that folks continue to pay.

 

Accuratein besides having to move the inlet on the radiator what else had to be modified to fit the 7th gen Accord? Fuel management?

 

"Accuratein besides having to move the inlet on the radiator what else had to be modified to fit the 7th gen Accord? Fuel management?"

nothing different has to be done to make it work. use the acm or hook up a e-manage. The blue accord had the acm, then switch to the e-manage and is stick. The other car has the acm and is auto. I was at my buds shop who did the install for both cars and it mostly bolts in except the mod to the radiator.

 

To be honest with you I don't know the details about the operation but it probably wasn't too involved considering the Accord and TL engine bays are so similar.
