Was just curious got a 04 tsx 5 automatidlc and was wondering the best build could get id dumped around 10k into it to safely gain hp without messing anything up. Just really like the look of the car but definitely want more power. Was going to be my winter project so any advice would be helpful. Want 350-400 hp but don't know what would need for that amount of gain without messing anything up. Please no negative feed back just want advice. So far just got injen cai.

you are going to get negative feed back, because A) it sounds like you dont know a wrench from a socket.. B) there are TONS of information out on the internet ABOUT this car. This car isn't new and your example is ALMOST 13 years old. in the 13 years prior, TONS of people have supercharged and turbocharged their TSX to get to 350-400hp. you will not get there with bolt ons. Tons of work needs to go in.
C) you say you have $10k to throw at the TSX....might as well go the easiest route and head to a tuner shop, where they will gladly take your money and help you achieve your goals.

didnt have to be a dick about it i know how to do little stuff just not much on actual builds like that. Looked online and didn't find much on exactly what to buy and where to start. Would rather ask around on here to buy the parts and have my mechanic install the stuff i dont know how to do. A tuner shop would cost me probably double the money

well, you did say you have $10k to spend.

and again, there is nothing short of a supercharger OR turbocharger that will get you to your goals of 400hp.
so, there's no point in doing any bolt ons. your main goal should be getting a turbocharger or supercharger. and that will be ALL your money. allocate $10-15k of free funds for this project

and have you heard of google?

I bet you your $10,000, that a simple google search will yield MULTIPLE HIGH HP TSX's! and they all use superchargers or turbochargers, which you will need to get tuned BY a TUNER!!! it needs to be dyno tuned....
WHICH will eat up more funds

Sell the car for 5 grand and get yourself a mustang gt or a hyundai genny or a 35i series bimmer you can turn the boost up some. 300-400hp can be had in a day at the dealership. Itll take you months to get there with the TSX platform.
