your tranny took a dump right? I've looked into a few different "bulletproof" performance tranny companies and none have panned out, failures & problematic service / repair / warranty.. let us know what you end up doing.

 

Rodney was able to refer me to good company. Right now the broken one is on it way to them and they should give me a definite answer within couple days.
And Rodney stop being impatient, Tuesday is just very few hours away. Wish I could have made it there. Would you be driving to him or have it Tow

 

Do you have any idea if it slipped itself to death or outright broke?

 

Sorry I met to reply the first time. Before i installed the turbo, with just a few upgrades like CAI and pipe, the check engine light used to blink as I was push my car on 3rd gear or down-shifting from 4th while my foot is off the gaze. The blinking will happen about 10 times and go back to normal. I wasn't as frequent to after I installed the turbo. In a way it's my fault cause I really did not give enough break-in time, after tuning the car. Hopefully it did not slip so we'll be able to change some of the internal. Rest sure that you'll be one of the first to know as soon as i found out

 

banelba. i just finished my engine swap and 6 speed swap. i would like to talk to you about possible boost for my 2nd gen tl.

 

I had the same flashing and my motor went bye bye....

 

No more tows hopefully since Thursday car has been driving ... I know a few members saw it Sunday as a matter of fact two , one said he had a greedy for sale and he posted in for sale forum but for the most parts it runs good .....donation greatly appreciated .....

 

^i have some cell phone pics of the beast from PBIR on may third. i'll post in a few.

 

Im here for the humor

 

im lost!!! someone help. So pass427 has a turbo TL, and banelba has a Turbo TL to, or is one the tunner and one the owner of the TL ?

 

my car did that once when shifting from 3rd to 4th. Flashed about 5 times as I backed off. No other secondaries but I freaked out until taking it to the dealer. They found nothing. That was over a year ago and haven't had a CEL since. Now I'm a little worried again.

 

Same shit happened to me 2 weeks ago. But I'm not modded at all. When it did happen I was driving aggressvely, but I backed off and it stopped and I never had that happen again.

 

Pricing wise, will this be around the same range as CTSC?

 

Looking at their site, how would we be able to pick one out for the TL? Looking at the Motorsport section, all the LSD's I see are model specific & around $1,200. Then again, I think I may be looking at the wrong part.

 

I only had a CAI when it happened to me.

I don't even know that they make one for Acura's. They specialized in euro cars. I must have tripled the price in my head for effect, but couldn't afford one either way when I was a kid.

*so, anyone know of a successful 6MT --> 5AT LSD swap?

 

It's happened to me a few times, with mods ranging from just CAI to CAI and assorted exhaust mods. I floor it, and the CEL blinks for a while and then back to normal. Not every time, just once in a blue moon. From what I could gather on here, it was just a cylinder misfiring.

 

I'm very interested to see what fails. I'm hoping that it's not too major of a problem, because if we need to add a heavy duty tranny when adding the turbo kit, this mod just got really expensive and involved!!! Maybe if you guys end up doing this as a kit there could be different stages.....stage one being able to run on a mostly stock TL (maybe no intercooler), stage two a few supporting mods necessary (intercooler added), stage three needing upgrading tranny......just a thought. Only time will tell what exactly we will end up needing.

I'm very anxious to see some videos of both TLs running though!!! Keep up the good work guys!!!

 

It also happens with bad gas too or water in the gas. I remember I put in gas from some run down place (because I had no choice) and every time I would floor the car I would get a CEL. Then once the tank finished and I put in some 93 gas from my Lukoil gas station, she ran like a charm.

 

I got the CEL light on hard acceleration with my first tranny. Light would come on, then go out after 10 blinks. The Acura dealer could never diagnose the problem. After the tranny was replaced (for slipping) I never had the CEL light on hard acceleration again.
I have no engine mods.

 

Don't know weather anyone cares or not, but the gas station chains are eaither directly or indirectly owned by these countries...

Lukoil= Iran
Citgo,Valeo= Venzuela

 

First tranny, huh? That doesn't sound good. The only time I've gotten the CEL was just after installing my P2R throttle body spacer....drove for about 50 miles and it went off on it's own. I just installed my J-pipe without any problems and never had the CEL after I installed my CAI, but I pulled the battery cable for that one. And I definitely get on it when I'm driving!

 

I'd like to make both of those countries parking lots.

oddly enough, they sell Citgo on the Navy base here in Jacksonville. Nice.

back on topic

 

+1

 

agreed

 

Just plain awesome!

 

With my father in Baghdad and knowing what I know now I would have to agree.

 

^Tell your father thanks from me........

 

I wasn't going to say anything... but are you serious about your statement on making an entire country (Iran) a parking lot? I mean really? That's a pretty fucking stupid statement. Congratulations. In the almost four years I've been on this site, never have I heard such a low life statement. Even in ramblings...

Edit: sorry for getting off track, but shit like that can't be over looked.

 

I'll take the liberty of ending all of this here and letting people cool their heads before any more remarks are made that won't help the progression of the "TL Turbo" thread.

 

alright lets please get this back on track...

for once i am souped for having an AT TL when this turbo goes into production... ill be happy with 6-8psi...

 

It took me like 4 hours to read through this entire thread and DAMN!! someone here deserves an applause awesome job!

 

+1

haha gives alot of people reasons to still be happy with a AT now huh lol and yes hopefully they give you an option of how much boost you want, becuz personally i'd be happy with 6 psi. 8 would be pushing it lol. but 6 psi is all is needed to get the job done and the point across =]

still would like to know the breaking point in our trannys for boost anyways. seems like so far 10 psi is outta the question on stock tranny.

 

WOW, we have really come along way, havent we?? this turbo thread brings a tear to my eye, on the tremendous strides we have taken when only i/e/p were our only power mods available a few years back. 400whp is absolutely insane!

now we have to start thinking about some strong AM axles (no not GG axles, what a joke ) and talking to someone about beefing up our trannys (auto and manual)

i drive my car fairly hard and i pay the price for it. im on my 3rd 6spd tranny so far, with the last one seeing no track time whatsoever. unless you baby it every where you go, it just wasnt designed to handle over 100+hp over factory. this is one thing that cant be overlooked and seriously need to be addressed in the near future.

 

How many shafts have you had to replace?

You better sell the SC before demand drops.. lol.

 

was the car redynoed today?

 

what where the numbers????? and when can i buy this kit.....very interested......

 

Good job guys! Everyone that had a hand in this project pat yourselves on the back.

I suppose this thing probably sounds like the orange drift element.

 

You are going to be looking at about a year before it would be ready for production. There is testing that needs to be done and tweaking that will be required before it is 100% production ready.

 

Damn, that element sounds good

 

Is there a chance to give us better video and audio please??? I need to something to drool to.
