Has anyone heard from the six or so people who put up the money to JR for the turbo kit... any news on progress... or Vids?

 

JandR said a november to december release date for the kit

 

They're within a few weeks of shipping. They didn't get the numbers they had hoped for going against the original list.

There are several videos out there. Go to their website jandrnextlevelperformance.com/

 

i dont think its worth it...thats just me tho

 

Everyone is entitled to their opinion

 

I am submiting full payment in the morning. I will not be doing any videos but will post my progress. They said two weeks, I can't wait.

 

why no vids?

 

nice. i asked them if could just submit a full payment when the kit is released and they said yes. but they also said november-december for release. maybe a deposit gets you the kit quicker.

hi speed or KN, do your guys know if they are including the knock sensor also? did rodney ever install it? i havent heard from him in the turbo thread

 

I'm waiting to hear back to see exactly what's included. So at this point, I don't know. Maybe the other 3 have more info.

Also, we are in the middle of Oct so Nov is 2 weeks away. The shipment is 2-3 weeks from the time of payment so this is still on track for the original dates.

 

rodney has been posting updates on progress on the original turbo thread...why start another one? and try and get info from other people....if he doesn't say anything, how could others know?

 

I've been getting PM's of info that isn't being included in the public forums. I'm not the one who started the thread and just answering the questions.

Dude you really need to cut back on the Red Bull....

 

it wasn't towards you lol, ...it aint the redbull man, relax...there nothing harsh about what i said lol

it was general questioning.....idk maybe i got reminded of every CAI thread that leads to the same conclusion lol
either way, im a bit bored and im looking to discuss smth heavy...but i can't find it lol :0

 

I didn't edit in time to get an emoticon on that post. Damn internet. I was just giving you shit. LOL

 

dont worry dude. I dont get hurt easily rofl...besides i didnt take it personal...ur on my good book

 

Opel - Bored? I would look forward to your comments on my thread if you are bored. Thanks

Yes, it will be included in the kit. Like mentioned before those who are buying the turbo kit are getting updates via PM that are not being posted in the Turbo thread.

 

turbo? hmmm sounds good but i dont know how the headaches will come with it

 

Yes, because 426 reliable whp with the best parts available is not worth it. You could always buy a supercharger that is guaranteed to blow the engine with 100less whp for a few bucks less.

 

knock sensor was installed and is working two weeks ago.

Last time i talked to him he was thinking about re-doing the piping for the TL's with fogs

 

nice... two weeks... oh man.. but I'll prolly have to install mine next year. Gotta pass smog first.. .weeeak.

 

 

search and yall find

 

Has the company that is doing the turbo kit done anything to beef up the transmission?

 

its not guaranteed to blow the engine..

 

I thought the one thing that was wrong with the TL was the rods that couldn't handle boost. does the turbo kit include titanium rods? Why didn't comptech make a turbo kit like every other honda that has one available?? how cant boost hold up in a turbo kit and not a supercharger? makes no sense.

 

what makes the turbo kit reliable? having new injectors does not make it more reliable, with the comptech you don't need those because it doesn't give an extra 150hp. just having the supercharger and no other mods not like opel has would blow the engine. The supercharger was made for our car with stock internals, you think comptech knew it would blow, and what a coincidence that acura transfers the warrantee with this unit if they knew it would blow? opel states we needed two steps colder spark plugs, but the guy from ngk says one step which is what comptech gives us is sufficient up to 75 extra hp, two steps for up to 150hp which is why HE needed those not a user of just the supercharger. I dont mean this to be bad but all i hear out of yous is how it sucks and is bad, what about hi boost and others that have had no problems?? IHC I thought u dont even have a superharged tl? Nothing is proven to blow the engine.

 

I don't have a supercharged TL but I've built, raced, and daily driven turbo and supercharged cars since I was 17 with my GN.

When I saw what the Comptech kit consisted of I warned everyone it would blow engines. That was 2 years ago. Guess what, a year later they started blowing. An engine is an engine is an engine. Doesn't matter if it's a TL or a V8 or a 4 banger, supercharged or turbocharged, or whatever, they all have the same requirements. The supercharger did not meet these requirements. Anyone who knows anything about cars could've seen that the supercharger "kit" was a ticking time bomb. If you go back and research I also predicted a long time ago that the TL would make at least 400hp at 10psi based on what the heads flow, and guess what? I predicted this turbo kit would be much more reliable than the supercharger kit even at 100 more hp and guess what? I predicted stock internals would take up to 500whp with a good tune and guess what level they're at? People doubted me since the supercharged cars were blowing at the 350hp level but they don't understand detonation and tuning.

This is not bragging, it's simple math and having a basic idea of what will work.

Before you go questioning my knowledge, you need to educate yourself on cars in general. Everything you have asked has been explained in the turbo thread. Me and Opel have repeated ourselves too many times to count.

For the 100th time..... Detonation kills engines much quicker than too much power. The supercharger kit was a detonation machine. The turbo kit has proper engine management to avoid detonation hence the added reliability even with 100 more hp.

I was going to type up a detailed explanation but I've done it too many times and I've realized the newbs will always be around to question anything and everything as if they're the first to think of it.

You question Opel when he has a supercharged TL, has blown it, rebuilt it, tuned it, and pioneered things on the TL that most people just read about. If he says you need 2 steps colder on the plugs, I would listen to him. Comptech gave you guys a half ass kit with cave man engine management and you want to trust their recommendation over someone who has been there done that?

 

Nothing against you or anything, but you need to read up on more threads on these forums because you are fairly new. Out of everyone on these forums, IHC is possibly the most knowledgeable, along with Opel and others (though not even them are 100% right since they are still young! I told my Uncle to read some threads on here and he was stating whats wrong and right it was funny). Anyways, there is plenty of people to show that the Comptech S/C is unreliable. I believe Opel or Hi Speed ( or someone else) spent a lot of $$$ on trannies and/or engines. For a kit to time our ECU's and to actually have a Turbo for our cars is amazing. Hopefully everyone puts money down for it within months or even better days.

 

Isn't it amazing when people see some big name that they automatically think there's nothing wrong.

When I first heard about crushing the FPR to bump up the pressure, I thought it was a joke. Actually it was, but that alone set off red flags for me.

I've learned more from IHC and Opel along with a couple of others here which is always confirmed by reading other material. I would believe these guys over any asswad salesman.
