A quick shoot and CTSC install pics.

I did a quick shoot of the TL the other week downtown. Pics turned out pretty good...













Bank of America Tower.


Duke Energy Tower.


Condominium highrise..The Vue.


A teaser of Type One in Tokyo.


Maybe one more teaser..





And so now we're done looking at all that bullshit i just posted, on to the long awaited install. I had told my brother that once he puts a supercharger on his car, then at that point I will install mine. Well, it turns out he went ahead and did the damn thing! He came down to my place and we started messing around with the 5AT TL. We got to the trunk and decided to mess around with the fuel sending unit, and bada bing bada boom, we had begun....

Interior of the 5AT.








There she blows.


Fedex came through with a perfect delivery time of the GM supercharger oil ordered from Jegs.com


Took the battery out..


Intake out, relocated the fuse box..


A good look at the hot pipe that comes out of the delta..


CTSC unit mounted..



A big thanks to my brother for helping out with the install. We are very proud of ourselves for accomplishing this install without any setbacks or problems, and did so in a relatively quick fashion. (over the course of 1.5 days, on and off) The CT directions are straight forward. Overall the install is really not that difficult. As my brother kept saying..."it's not rocket science son"!

As for the power gain. It's there! I haven't gotten on here in first, but have gone full throttle in second and third, and she feels great. I'm in love with the whine it makes.

And for videos, we'll get some up soon. Any questions, just let me know.

Sick sick sick now get forged internals, custom blower cam, crank up the boost and throw down some dyno numbers the likes of which no man has ever seen before! At least coming from a TL anyway haha! I so wish I could do this with my TL, but I can't so I will just have to live vicariously through you just like everyone else here on Acurazine does. You are living the dream man!

Very sick! I thought you had the SC installed on your car by now

Quick question.. the project Mu BBK, what car fitment is that for; did you have to tweak it to fit the TL?

It never gets boring seeing your threads. There is something new and interesting to look at. What in the world are you doing with the AT? Is it an experimental project?

Yeah it was about that time man! And yes it is very confusing trying to figure out what bolts go where. SC videos sure to come! hopefully in HD.

Yes i believe they are. When i ordered them they were 180, and then a price spike came shortly before they arrived on US soil, which i wasn't exactly too happy about.

Yeah man crunch time! I polished the headlights last night. Did you end up putting on your teins yet, i think you said in JT22's thread that you've had it and you're going to put them on. haha Looking forward to you guys coming down.

haha it could potentially be the spoon stance. like a crane or something. Someone else said it looks like they're not wearing any pants too, but i informed them that the technicians at Type One wear yellow and blue jumpsuits in the shop.

Thanks, naw i've been fooling people for a while now with the interfooler. I felt like an asshole. PMUs were intended for a tsx, but the fuckhead companies never think to consider that there could potentially be a market for the tsx's big brother.

You just have to have the automatic knuckles, either that or you can potentially slide in some type of washer, but i wouldn't recommend that route, even thought it might work.

I'm glad i can bring some new things to the table. The 5AT is pretty much being worthless. It's slowly getting back together. Either I will keep it, trade it in for a Fit, or, maybe something else...like an s2000 haha. nah!

I remember when you were almost positive that knuckles would be the same. The auto TL is getting the turbo kit, so the brembos will be needed.

It was intense! I saw the fire. I felt the heat. I smelled the smoke. I saw dead people. Was 6 at the time, and a boy about the same age as myself actually deceased. He and his mother both, were sitting right beside me. My father saved me. 20 years of life since that day!!
