Tsx Turbo

evan_880 · 08-22-2006, 05:53 PM

Hey there guys,
well as you all know i am interested in turbo charging my car. i found a shop in the city that will do it and give me a good deal because they want to be one of the first to do it. We can turbo it using AEM managment, HKS (like dazz), or Greddy e-manage. He phoned dazz and talked ot them, and did alot of homework. He will build an exhaust manifold, custom exhaust, fuel rail, injectors, replace clutch, and i might put an LSD in at the same time. He said he could do it for 5000-7000CDN tops without the LSD. im just waiting to get some more prices and info from him. It would push 300-350 HP and i think would be great. i will let you know what happens as things progress. any suggestions or comments? thanks alot
Evan

YES finally turbo

Sweeet....do it!

Finally something really worth drooling over...

Only hope the price will not be that steep.

Good luck.

The DAZZ car was originally HKS's I believe. DAZZ bought it after it was turbocharged from, HKS. Someone asked and i think to get the same set up or close to..it would cost as much as a new TSX.

the problem isnt turboing a tsx... the problem is turboing a tsx and having the electronics in the car still work A/C, VSA etc.

But in the most recent issue of Honda Tuning, Someone had written in asking about TSX turbo kits. In the Letters section, they had responded that a kit for a 2002-05 Civic Si or RSX-S would "work" but Intercooler piping would have to be modified and might have hood clearance issues with the turbo itself. As far as electronics and fuel management, I have no Idea.
Just thought I'd throw that in, looking at possibly getting an 04 TSX for my next vehicle so I'm trying to keep tabs on tuning news.

You don't really know what the kit involves. Might not be as basic as a turbo, manifold, piping kit. The kit could be that you replace the DBW thorttle with a wired one. Not even sure if you can reprogram the ECU to respond to wired throttle.

All turbo kits are pretty much the same, just different fabs for different applications. The main thing that sets turbo kits apart is the Fuel Management. In this case, a Fuel management that can handle the DBW. My thoughts is that, there are companies that could do it. They probabaly just dont see the market for our car, being that there isnt alot of TSX out there. just a thought.

Agreed, that's what I'm trying to Find out

I was hoping somebody might have some insight.

btw I'm a Leafs fan too.

well, what he said he found out about the Engine managment was that if he uses a piggy back system it will be cheaper and that just fools the car ecu into thinking the engine needs more gas and what not. so it doesnt mess with the gauges or anything, and just modifies the fuel system. If we use something like HKS f-con v pro then we have to tune everything, including making the gauges work and all of that. it is possible to do you just need to re program the ECU to do that. so its just a matter or re tuning the ECU. i am leaning towards the piggy back system because it wont harm it. It is fooling the computer within the paramaters that the computer will let it. So if you need more fuel that the ecu will let you have even when your "fooling" it. then you need to use a new ECU like f-con v pro. thats about it so far. i will keep you updated.

This kit will work. i am in the process of making a full kit work on my car. and all u will need is to bump up the fuel pressure to make it all work and dyno tune the car. thats about it. as far as drive by wire and ur gauges not working- everything will work fine. just need the fuel pressure to be up!

evan_880 · 08-25-2006, 06:36 PM

yupp. i am in 100% agreement with Jays98cobra i think this drive by wire thing has been over thought, and all it is that you need to do is build the turbo parts (manifold, piping) and then bump up you fuel pressure to feed to bigger injectors. Other than that some tuning and your off. so i think this is all possible and i think it just needs someone to do it. maybe me

we will see!!

Tsx536 · 08-26-2006, 06:07 PM

Yeah hopefully those piggyback systems will work well. Can those systems also lower the vtec engagement point from the stock 6K?

Good luck with your project. It would be great to see a Turboed TSX!

Any Updates Jay?
