i dont think you'll find 2 many turbo tsx due to the fact of the engine management. there is DAZZ MOTORSPORT'S TSX. it is the only one i can think of rite now.

There are only 2 turbo'd TSX's that I know of. The one that hondatsx mentioned, and one on the forums that attended one of the tsx meets (maybe from the "other" forum?) I remember going through the pictures and one tsx was labeled as having a turbo on it.

the problem is engine management. if you want forced induction, you can go with comptech's supercharger. Another company is working on their own version with higher boost, but I haven't heard any news on that front lately

^^^the one you are thinking of from the "other" forum just had a snail sitting there wasn't even plummed in. All for show. If you wanted to turbo the TSX you'd need to replace the throttle body with one from a DC5 that is cable driven not DBW then you can run the Kpro. As a result you will loose VSA, ABS, A/C, and other amenities. Also the gauges wont work correctly so you'd have to put in "race" style gauges etc... In other words it's alot of custom work when you can achieve the same results with the Comptech supercharger.

turbos work off exhaust...inturn more power...superchargers work off the drivetrain meaning ur adding a pulley setup to the exsisting setup and this inturn takes power to make power...even though in the end ur getting more power ur still takeing power to make power. theres alot of things people say u cant do to make the turbo setup work with this car. but u can do it with the DBW and not loose features. the thing is the fuel setup is the part u need to worry about the most. the tsx would need atleast a 255 liter pump put in the tank, bigger injectors and a return fuel line added to go back to the tank since this car doesnt have a return line. thats the hardest part. the k2.0 rsx type s manifold bolts up to the tsx head and lines up identical. also ur gonna need to plum a front mount in and make intercooler pipeing work. theres alot to do to make a turbo work with this car, but u can do it with whats exsisting.

and you think they would waste money on turbo'ing a tsx rather than buying a crazy faster car or something?

i made it pretty far in doing this but gave up after i found out u needed a return line added. than i sold everything i bought on ebay back on ebay and made a few hundred in the end. i just didnt want the headaches ya know. i mean im sure it all sounds like it will work from the places i been too, but theres gonna be alot of tuneing involved and alot of down time and a car not running right im sure so i didnt want to be bothered. so any other people want to try?
