Has anyone read anything about the turbo kit from slick fab tuning? I came across a video of the accord stating 500whp on a precision 6266 turbo with stock internals at 10psi.



I had a few emails with the guy and he states that a kit has not been officially made for the j37, however he is open to doing the fabrication work. Based on the pricing he has set for his kits, which don't seem astronomically high it might be a viable option depending on how much he has to charge for customizing the the kit for the j37. He mentions the downpipe specifically needs fab work due to the transfer case on the tl compared to the accord.

9th Generation Accord (2013-2017)

8th Generation Accord (2008-2012)

$5500 for the kit
$600 for ktuner
$500 for tuning
$1000+ for fabwork

am i missing other items? if the stock j37 can take 6-8 psi of boost safely on stock internals, im highly tempted to do this on the tl in the future provided the auto transmission wont grenade.

 

i am assuming this kit lets you keep AC? 6-8 lbs of boost i think is fine. i hope they can make a 5AT version

 

Interesting !! I would consider this if I can keep the AC. Looking forward to more info.

 

If this turbo lets you keep the AC, I'd definitely be interested

 

Yes his email specifically said a.c. is kept. He is aware of the sc kit that deletes a.c.

 

Just for informational purposes I have put my emails to him below:

Hello Eric,


I came across your video on YouTube recently and am very interested in learning more about your kit.

I have both a 2012 Acura tl shawd auto and a 2010 tsx v6 auto.

I have been looking into forced induction on either platform, and I saw there's a supercharger kit available for the j35 however it deletes the a.c.

With your turbo kit you are on a manual transmission correct ? It appears traction will be a huge issue on fwd. In the video comments you mention going awd?

From your opinion can the shawd auto tl stand up to a turbo? If it's low boost say 6-8psi how much power do you estimate can be had? The tl comes stock with a transmission cooler which is a plus for that platform over the tsx.

You mention all internals are stock on the engine, apart from fueling system. Do you have to delete the precats? I prefer to stick with highflow cats.

As far as tuning with the ktuner out would you tune the car or do I have to find my own tuner to do this?

Can this kit work for the j37? What would the total price be ?

Also where is your shop located?

Thanks
Asim


The maker of the supercharger kit you are talking about installed it on their TL shawd recently and it's been working fine, but I can see why you would want to retain the AC in Texas.

Traction is definitely an issue and is why I am installing the TL shawd system onto my Accord. It's still fun with just FWD, you just need to learn to modulate the throttle in 1st and 2nd gear. 7-8 psi on the J37A4 will yield about 500whp

I don't offer a kit for the TL shawd because I don't have a loaner car to make sure everything fits properly (I know the downpipe will need to be different since the transfer case is where the fwd downpipe goes) so a kit for that will be custom and have an additional charge since I will need to find someone to loan me theirs to build the kit on, unless you want to send your car all the here to RI.

You can use HFPCs.

You will need to have it tuned by a good tuner immediately after installation.

You can view prices for the various options on my website www.slickfabperformance.com under the 9g Accord V6 kits, you will need to add $1000 to the final price for the extra fabrication time to customize the kit for your particular chassis.

Thanks

I would be so interested in this.

 

He's in RI? I'm in RI too. Maybe I should reach out to him.

 

Teamacura do it! Let us know more info. Maybe he can cut a deal for the first j37 for kit development.

 

do it

 

Fuck I'm tempted to do this. This is the final piece I'm looking for for my build. Only thing that sucks for me is that I'm 6spd auto and not sure how well the tranny will hold 500whp. That's plenty of power though to all 4 wheels. It'd be a monster. If we can't get someone there like TeamAcura, my tuner is actually a custom fabricator as well.

 

My buddy brought up some good points. In addition to the kit, we would need to upgrade the fuel pump and possibly a return system. May also need to upgrade the axles.

 

I'm 5sp at myself. But would love to see this in action no matter if I couldn't do it myself. A 500 whp awd would be insanity at its finest

 

I wanted to keep my j35 stock but after buying my V2, it can serve a purpose with this kit, saw this guys vid to just the other day so i emailed him and the links as well, just wondering if he can get an blacked out intercooler and if PCD's are possible to run (at low 5-8ish PSI)

 

""
Bisi sells a pretty good fuel pump on their website, i think that can run e85, since the kit comes with higher injectors
AEM hi-flo in-tank fuel pump, 320lph, E85 compatible [AEP-1200] - $120.99 : Bisimoto Engineering - Reliable Power, Guaranteed

 

@carbontsex
I know coming from the evox world the MR transmission was always a concern when upping the power. they would limit the torque during the tuning to protect the transmission.

if we run low boost, im hoping the stock 6at can handle the increased power output.

 

What's his contact info?

 

a turbo downpipe will replace the PCD..so no, PCD's arent possible to run

 

Actually it states on his site that HFPC/PCD are retained... He has it as an option on the site to add them or use yours, assuming you already have them.

 

Downpipe seems like it is running from the firewall, would love to see some pictures of it.

 

obvious, I didnt read. my B

 

his email is slickfabllc@gmail.com

Haha it's cool. You wouldn't know unless you checked out the site. I'll let that slide.

 

Well this is exciting!

 

Fueling should be pretty easy. I wonder if the RDX injectors would work and at what duty cycle they'd run for something like 6 PSI. A nice quick spooling turbo would be badass if we could net 100 ft/lbs or so. It definitely begs the question of how much power the driveline components can handle though (diffs, axles, clutch, etc.).

 

following.

This would be perfect for my plans but needs to work with a 5AT.

 

Something else that hasn't been mentioned and may be a problem is that high compression engine and FI doesn't fix. On the 3G side I've noticed that the guys that have gone FI lowered compression by getting AF pistons. That may be something a potential customer may want to consider.

 

a high compression turbo can be done. but will be dependent on the tune and how the fabricator does things.
there is another guy, username tonythetiger who has a shop and does camry turbos...and even has done a high compression TL.
his setups do great with our high compression ratios.

 

i looked through some of the latest comments on his video to see if there was any additional information that could help. Someone with an accord cross tour asked about the kit and they started discussing fuel injector sizing through Ktuner and he mentioned that the Ktuner for his platform doesnt have injector sizing as a feature.

I looked on the ktuner site and it appears the TL has this option in BETA, which hopefully means it can be used. I saw in the ktuner thread, that the ECU is different and more difficult on the TL compared to the later generation accords. It might be a good idea to get confirmation from Ktuner.

 

Anything new with this?

 

nothing new. Its been a while. The auto transmission is definitely a big worry. Maybe a 6mt owner might do it?

 

I am a 6mt owner and I definitely WANT to do it, but I am in TX and I am hesitant dropping big bucks while being a beta tester.

 

I checked with Eric and he said they are planning on making a turbo for the 4th gen TL this Spring. He said if I want a turbo right now, I would need to send him my car.

 

Estimated price for the turbo kit ?

 

Aww shit! Decisions, decisions.

 

Been a while bud !!
I would be down with this, keeping the AC is a must though. Would love to see it in action.

 

Yes it has. I have been very busy with life myself. Finishing up my bachelor's degree this June.
This would be the next best mod to do for my build. I agree that AC is important, especially CBP with Ebony interior. We will have to wait and see what happens this spring.

 

 

Will we ever get any force induction for our cars? Been waiting forever...

 

For Slickfab to make the turbo right now, they would need someone to bring/send them their car. They are located in Rehoboth, MA. Otherwise we just have to wait until they hopefully get to it somethime this Spring.
