I'm pretty sure if you're making lots of horsepower, you're gonna have to upgrade something in order to keep that power. Friend spend 5-6g's on a turbo kit for his dc5, ended up spending 8 g's all together to get it running.

I dunno...not on a newish well kept car. As long as the tranny holds you should be fine. Maybe get some stronger axles...clutch?

iTrader: (5)

now you making a lot more sense.....i dont think the TL axle is strong enuff to withstand twice the power it makes (stock TL 210-215 whp) and now the turbo TL (437 whp at 9.2psi)......

i mean axles/tranny/engine rock/tires/suspension/.....unless you stay away from WOT which would beat the purpose of spending around 5G's on the turbo......

Mounts, axles, clutch, that's about all I'd worry about I guess. As long as the tranny holds up.

I dunno if I'll want to go that high of psi. I'd be perfectly happy with the results they had a 6psi... 350/350 would kick serious butt imho.

lol....am looking to pass the 400/400 mark LOL....

if i had the knowledge and the money, i would have wanted to see the TL pass the 600whp mark....Banabela is pretty close at 542whp at 10 psi......

I hate cars

Keep it on street tires and the axles will hold. A stock TL is capable of spinning the tires in first gear so it's impossible to put any additional force on the axles turbo or not. You'll have the "first gear power" all the way through third gear but peak loads will be the same.

Another thing on the manual transmissions is learning to shift quickly but gently. If you can shift good, it will go a long way in making components last. And with over 400hp and 400tq, there's not a lot of situations where you're going to need to shift quickly.

thought their goal for the kit was 375/375 or in that neighborhood. a good amount of psi but still safe for our internals and what not. just enough so we dont have to upgrade any other parts.

personally, i just can't wait to drive a car with a good amount of torque. i miss that head jerk and body pressed to the seat win you floor it at any speed. sad to say, i just dont get that with the TL currently =\.

TL|GTX

I get that from my TL, but my freinds mustang GT gives more of that torque, even though i beat him from a roll with my TL,

Rick_TL-S

When did Banabela get past the 500 mark?!

pass427

Tommorow I'll be heading out to make some pulls and hopefully another 155 mph run did one last nite around 2am on a crappy phone video ... So rest a sure Sunday I'll have them up .....kit will include fuel pump , injectors ect.. When this kit is delivered to you you'll need nothing else to get car running ecxcept a fine tune from your tuner .. And of course there's options which will be offered such as Aem wideband ect..

Hi speed

iTrader: (3)

Be careful, 155 MPH is a felony stuff. In cali we take your car and a few months of your life. You get out, your car is sold at auction.

pass427

That would really suck , guess that's why I'm not big on making videos ... Thanks for heads up......

Hi speed

iTrader: (3)

I have noticed the BMW guys use bumper mounted cams, even a dash mount for your camera would be cool. You can get a good feel for the performance of a car without seeing the speeedo.

Videos can be fun, but with law enforcement getting higher tech people are getting pinched. In half the videos I see there are freeway signs or the faces of people in the car.

So the kit will be with fuel pump bigger injectors and so on. I like that. Is the acctual turbo kit from well known company such as Garrett and others?

I hate cars

I believe it was said much earlier on that the turbo was from PTE which would make it a Garrett turbo sort of. Very high quality stuff. Looked like the latest GT "boosted" series.

TL|GTX

wat if thier are no tuners?

Rick_TL-S

Awesome.
If he's creative, he can just film everything except the speedo/tach., & still be "fine" with the law.

iTrader: (1)

I hear you. I am from chicago and there are few tuning shops around and only one of them has been working on a J32 engines.

pass427

Kit will include nothing but quality parts known to last such as precision turbo , tail wastgate , walbro fuel pump , plug & play injectors , Aem Ecu ect....... Like we said kit will be delivered with basemap which will be tuned on the safe side , but for people who are concerned,an optional wideband will tell if car is running lean or overly rich , on the point tlx brought up what if there no tuners. I'm sure we would address that issue by helping you find one that's within a fair range, once the program is in the Ecu all a tuner would need is minor adjustment not like there tuning car from scratch........

OneWickedTypeS

Sounds like the perfect opportunity for a road trip to Florida...

pass427

And for right now we have installers in Florida of course and one in Nj so hopefully this will help . And we have a few diy people on site that help out a lot like stillinhere .... Kit is not all that complicatedthats why we made it no cutting or welding necessary likes puzzle connect the pieces.....

Hey rodney.. I hope this hasnt been answered before, but are you tapping the oil pan to get the oil? if so will we need to get a local shop to do it? I know on my previous turbo car we tapped the oil pan and i had someone weld a bung to it... thanks!

TLAdvanced

iTrader: (4)

Sorry, I have been away for a week. Is this going to be produced for the TL-S as well (tuning wise)?

Rick_TL-S

I believe after the base kit is done, they or someone else will attempt to do it.

I hate cars

I'm guessing but pick it up at the oil pressure sending unit and return to the pan. I could be wrong but that's the typical way.

lucnex

iTrader: (3)

well if there is an installer in NJ maybe I will end up getting this....

stillhere153

iTrader: (1)

Yea he's right... I'd be super ubber happy to install this kit...

I hate cars

I'll take care of the Cali guys probably free of charge just to stay in practice. I've got access to a dyno very cheap too.

^ really? I'm down for a drive down to bakersfield!

I hate cars

Any time. I would love an opportunity to work with one of these kits.

I was thinking of running the standard setup and then a "100 octane" tune use at your own risk for over 500whp.

Maddizm

iTrader: (5)

I guess I may have to hold off on the s/c then and see where this all goes... thanks!

damnboy37

This makes me want to sell my Integra and get a TL, I think I may do that in a few years.

phee

iTrader: (5)

The tl shouldve made you want to sell tour integra and get a tl.

damnboy37

I couldnt afford it at the time, but now I could. Selling the Teg would be a good down payment to a 07 TL-S.

do u guys have an estimate on 0-60 and 1/4 mile times for whatever boost your running now?

I hate cars

0-60 will be all driver but you may be able to knock 1/2-3/4 of a second off. The 1/4 will likely be deep into the 12s, knocking 2 seconds off stock times.

dr_brains510

So like 12.6-12.9? If a turbo is made for the type s would that be a few tenths quicker (12.2-12.6)?

I hate cars

You may pick up a tenth or two. More likely you'll see the difference in better spool at a lower rpm with the larger 3.5L.

What I'm getting at is the power level with the 3.2L is only limited by what the stock internals could take. A 3.2 at 10psi will make the same or more power than a 3.5L at 9psi. It would be advisable to keep the hp roughly the same between the two kits by lowering the TL-S boost by half a pound or so. But I've heard rumors that the TL-S may have better internals, I'm sure some members could answer that question.

dr_brains510

If we do change the internals then we can use more boost correct? If for example a 3.2 uses 10psi on stock internals, what could the max be if the internals were changed (and vice versa for the type s)?

I hate cars

It's not the boost that determines the need to upgrade but rather the hp being made.

With a bulletproof engine, you can run however much boost that the octane being used will allow, assuming you have the fuel to match and you're staying within the turbo's efficiency range.

With a built bottom end and some real boost, 20+psi, you'll have a 700+hp monster with stock intake, heads, cams, etc. At that level, you'll likely go through transmissions daily, eat axles, and whatever else the next 5 weak links are lol.

The beauty of the current kit is you're doubling the factory hp and torque for $5-8K (guessing) with no internal work. That means factory drivability. It will likely drive exactly as a bone stock TL would until you put your foot into it and be pretty reliable to boot.
