To answer a few questions for everyone. The car is done with tuning. It is using the MP62 as everyone knows. The MP90 would not fit under the hood no matter how hard they tried. It finished with 75hp at the wheels increase. I will post dyno slips and picks of the car soon. We are removing all the parts off of the 2010 model that CT-E has been working on and installing them on a 2012 model 6speed. We should have the car back towards the end of April.

The final figures were with their carbon intake, axle back exhaust and tuned with AEM electronics.

Also if anyone was at weksos car show last month the car was there as well as driven around Cali area. So there might be pics around some place.

 

^ can you shed some light on the carbon-fiber intake?? will that be released sooner than later?

 

Finally. This thread's been around for over a year now. Good news for the 4G guys.

 

So this is dyno'd with the SH-AWD trickery in all... or did they drop the axle and dyno based of of the front two wheels?

 

Rob, also curious on what they used to tune (apologies if i missed it)?

 

For our car they used the AEM FIC. I am not sure what they are going to run for the production kits.

 

I think one of the main reasons they didn't use the MP90 is there isn't enough hood clearance. The motor in our 4th gen sits a bit higher than the 3rd gen TLs...

While I long for the SC whine, I have to wonder if a TC application might be more appropriate in the long run.

 

When you get a chance can you throw up some numbers for us?

 

Rob -- can we get some pictures or videos of the car please????

 

i wanna see a dyno video..

 

I cant wait to see this finished!! I might consider totally changing my plan of action on my tl if this comes out soon.

 

So we just got the car back last Friday. It is a rocket. As soon as the weather gets a little better we will get some photos and videos. We are also going to try to get to the track in the next few weeks. If anybody is local to the seattle area I can take them out in it.

 

Omg

 

+1. I can't wait to see this.

 

What fluid and visc are you running in the rear diff & transfer case? How often are you changing it?


Are you guys planning on doing meth injection and real-time knock monitoring? details on tune?

 

Wow, I think I'm going to have to go check out the supercharged TL!

 

Is the TL at your dealership, I'm local and would like to come and check it out.

 

When and where is the event? Which track were you thinking of, the one in Auburn/Kent? Will you have the vehicle at the dealership as well?

 

rob let us know when you going to track i will drive down there to see this

 

The car is here at the dealership. I can take out who ever wants to check it out. We were going to go this weekend but the rain has made us cancel. And yes we are going to the race track in Kent. We will be going to Oregon for the road course this summer. We are owners of Oregon Raceway Park as well.

 

I cant wait to see how fast this car is!!

 

hey rob, I hope you do get some clips going with this, especially for those that can't make it to see the car! w00t w00t!

-DeL

 

Is there an ICEBOX included in the overall set-up, or just the sc'r?

 

So when is the production go on the market??

 

pics?! vids?!

 

Heuy Rob i'm local and would like to come and check it out today.

 

I wish I was local, looking forward to the pics and video though!

 

 

So you guys did use a 2012 TL with the 6MT for the final product... interesting - any reason you opted for the 2012 over the 2009-2011?

One other thing -- the controller where it's mounted... how will this impact us who have EDFCs?

 

I took off all the plastics to show the supercharger. If I were to leave them on you would not be able to see it. I have more photos

Let me know if you have questions

 

Rob, is there any chance of comptech making a supercharger kit to the 3rd gen RL?

If not, then I guess the 2012 TL 6MT will be my next car. SH-AWD + 6MT + supercharger...sweet.

 

We went with the 2012 to keep it on a current model. It was on a 2011 as of 2 weeks ago. I would not worry about he controller I`m sure that they are going to move it when the production models come out.

 

I doubt it. They are trying to go with new models for now. But time will tell. I know they have there plate full with new stuff so if they do it won't be for quite awhile.

 

I'm sure they will.

 

Any chance of the supercharger being fitted on the FWD?

 

Tuning has always been the difficulty with the CT SuperCharger. At least in 3G.

Wonder if this (https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-performance-parts-modifications-112/new-ecu-preview-806456/) could be adapted for the 4G? If so, would it be useful?

 

Very nice, now get that bad boy to a dyno and lets see the power she puts out!!!

 

Sadly, the MP62 is entirely inefficient in this application. I understand size and space constraints were a concern but surely CT-E should know that the size of this motor (3.7L) should demand a much larger blower unit, such as the MP90.

I've seen the CL guy's retro MP90's... perhaps that's what we'll have to do here. Nevertheless, progress is progress. I'm just simply stating what's been pointed out time and time before...

 

Definitely happy to see progress and excited to see more on it.

How difficult was rigging the AEM FIC? Fingers crossed on a plug n play harness for this.
