Yes, your right, It would be awesome if a bolt on kit was available for us accord/TL guys. There would be much less hesitation for supercharging the J series than it is now.

definitely, have to agree with you. For the price of the kit and not being able to retain the A/C is a big problem. Most people don't know that A/c is not only use for cooling. It is also used to in the defroster mode to dry the air and prevent the windows from fogging up. Also considering that it is also marketed to people that drive acura (aka luxury honda) most people would shy away from it.

I think there might be someone in the fb j series nation that might be willing to step it up and make a kit with a driveshaft, but nothing is certain right now.

I talked to him. He was cool w/ me, but he specifically said he was not interested in changing his kit or doing any mods to it. I would have to buy a kit from him and do the measurements and blueprints for some brackets and tubing. I have a 8-6 job and live in an apartment, so finding time for a project like this might be hard. I have no clue how to take measurements and do CNC Blueprints. If somebody could teach me, I would possibly be willing to do it when I have the money. The parts that I see needed are a left bracket, a right bracket, an axle similar to the CT supercharger, custom tubing from the SC to the inter-cooler, and custom tubing for the intake. The rest of the kit can remain the same. The kit is awesome as it is, I just need AC where I live, or else I would be all over this kit. It's by far the best I have seen for the J Series.

At the end of the day, I just want to see a bolt on kit on the market for the 7th gen Accord, where the only mod is the TL ECU for the Flash Pro, and everything else is bolt on. Both the CT and Andy's need mods to make them work.

I agree the market needs a bolt on turbo solution for these cars. However, the one thing no one seems to understand is the cost - what in your mind would this said turbo kit cost, and what would it include?

Let's say it is $4000 - less than a comptech kit, less than Andy's kit, and less than the JnR when it was available.

You'd still need a fuel pump, injectors, hondata, tuning, and probably a battery relocation kit.

At a minimum, that's another $1500 - $2500.

Don't forget that you'll also need a full exhaust - the stock is restrictive and probably wouldn't make enough power. Add another $400 - $800.

So, all in, to have a turbo on this car, but still running a stock motor, you're looking at $7K+. That's no labor either.

If you have an auto, add even more since you have to go full standalone.

Just some food for thought.

Let us know if you go the Nissan route. I've been there and I couldn't stand them. The G35 engine bay is the most crowded pita to work on. Best day ever was selling that car. Lord I hate Nissans.

The J Series is one of the best engines to supercharge. Surprised there is not a kit specific to the Accord out, not even from Japan. There is no better bang for your buck than a 7th Gen 6 Speed with a quality forced induction kit on it IMO.

I agree, for the price, and losing A/C is a huge problem. It would be unbearable without AC on hot summer days. And damp humid days with the defrost.

I hope somebody can step it up and make an Accord specific kit. I think it could be a lucrative venture for whoever does it. The demand is there for one.

I would prefer to keep my Accord over getting the Nissan. I just want my Accord boosted. I would be willing to spend up to $5-6K for a boost system, injectors and fuel pump included. I plan to get RV6 PreCat, J Pipe, and Apexi WS2 Exhaust in the next few months. My 14 year old stock exhaust has had enough. I can do the Forced Induction install myself. Obviously, I would need Hondata and would have to take it to a shop for tuning. Worth it for me.

 

[thisaznboi88]

I am running stock fuel pump and the stock non-return fuel system. So you should be okay unless you up the boost like crazy.

Would you consider the comptech s/c if it was cheap?

[screaminz28]

That is about $3,000 too much for a comptech, lol. Its nothing but a giant heat pump - way too small for these V6s.

Paul still builds m90 s.c. but not sure how long the wait time is

His version of the M90 is the way to go for a PD blower. Much better than the Prank parts version, though I see the appeal in the cost difference wiht the Prank version.

I'm just not sold on PD blowers on these cars. Id take a centrifugal or a turbo every time over the most efficient PD.

I saw this. Wasn't sure if it fit the J30A4 or not. I am assuming it does. If I had the money right now, I would buy it, but I just had to spend $2k on other mods.

How much is cheap? I would rather buy new if I went that route.

I agree, the intake temps are likely very high with the CT. It needs an inter-cooler. Which makes me like Andy's Rotrex kit, but I can't sacrifice AC, and I don't want to do any mods to a kit. I would rather just drop in a custom radiator if needed. To me, an inter-cooler is necessary if you are running FI on an Accord.

I would die if a company like RV6 could fab a kit for the Accord and TL that incorporates an inter-cooler.

Centrifugal is the way to go, like the Rotrex blower or a Turbo.

The only thing I don't like about Andy's kit (other than losing AC - not happening in SC) is that Rotrex blowers are not rebuildable. Too many stories of them becoming big paperweights.

Good to know. Thanks.

I think I am just going to go all NA J30A4 with Hondata and a tune. The kits just aren't there yet for me to spend the money on one.

FYI, I ordered many new parts for my that I will start a new threat for.

 

[thisaznboi88]

take this kit and modify it onto the accord.

Twist it south 90 degrees and add an intercooler maybe

That's pretty close to what the J Series family and the Accord needs, from a professional fabricator, not me.
