d-kap · 10-05-2009, 10:04 PM

im thinking about super charging my tsx... now the only question is would that gain me the most hhorse or would there be other things better to give it more horse?

Turbo gives you more power. Unless you plan on using the Rotrex SC.

d-kap · 10-05-2009, 10:30 PM

the turbo is a custome made kit and i cant afford it. isnt it more expenssive than a supercharger?

wahhhhhhhhhhhhh psssssssssssssss

CTSC is about 4K. Thats good enough for a basic bolt on turbo kit ith custom piping. Any shop can fabricate the piping.

d-kap · 10-05-2009, 10:49 PM

well how much would a super charger boost me up too? and how,uch would the turbo boost me up too.. and pluss the turbo would be less reliable because it was not ment for the tsx the supercharger is like i mean its manufactured for it and the turboe nees to be custom fitted...

the guy tony@southeast is selling a kit with piping for the tsx for 2800 - but then theres the cost of k-pro to factor in.

d-kap · 10-05-2009, 11:00 PM

yeah i saw that.. but he hasnt really responded too me how much is k pro and i dont really know what k pro is... ive herd it tossed around a bit still dont know what it is

check out hondata.com. they have SC build based on our K24. it goes step by step on each mod (gaskets, cams, supercharger, etc.) with dyno charters foe each major mod. Really helpful guide for when you want HP numbers before you buy.

For pure power you want KPro + Turbo. It's not going to be beat with existing SC kits (CT-Engineering). Rotrex will be a beast when it becomes available.

For reliability, though, you can't beat the CT-E Supercharger. 5psi, set it and forget it reliability. A nice boost in power without becoming too nuts for daily driving. I love mine.

Someone is working on a rotrex unit for the TSX?? I would love to have one... either that or a turbo.... I have never been really excited about a roots style kit....

I'd ask Kuma912. He's been talking about Rotrex SC's for years, I figure he must know something I don't.

phrequenc · 10-06-2009, 01:07 PM

can't you get more power out of the CT-E supercharger kit? 5psi seems stupid. that slike putting a leaf blower on your car.

Carmagnut · 10-06-2009, 02:26 PM

You can add higher boost pulleys and tune it with Kpro to get more out of it. The 5psi is conservative in nature. CT puts out a quality product to last a long time and be durable/reliable. If they put out an X (insert high number here) psi kit and it destroyed everyones car that bought it...they probably wouldn't be in business too long. I use mine as a boosted daily driver and agree with Audioserf; I am very happy.

Thats because I have the Rotrex kit for my EP.

The Kraftwerks Rotrex kit for the K series will work on any K powered cars. But you'll have to sacrifice your AC. The kit on my EP however does not sacrifice AC. I've spoken to Kraftwerks rep about their upcoming Rotrex kits. Apparently its not much different from whats on my car. They have the second kit that was imported.

Here is the link for my kit.
