08 Accord Turbo or Supercharger?

  

zaltox -> 08 Accord Turbo or Supercharger? (7/2/2008 12:47:01 PM)

I have a 08 Accord coupe V6 and I want to have a lot more power off the line. I don''t care too much for the top end (anything 100+mph), so let me know what things I could do to help achieve this. I''m more concerened with the hp/tourque gain over the gas mileage. I also my be running a hydrogen generator and would like to know if that is ok with a turbo/supercharger. Let me know what your oppinions are.

I have no idea what a hydrogen generator is but a 100% custom supercharger or turbo will easily blow $10,000 out of your pocket once complete. Of course you will have zero warranty on anything except maybe the tires. I don''''t even know if it is at all possible to turbo the 3.5 because the exhaust manifolds are part of the block. Hope you''''ve got really deep pockets.

^^ It''s possible, but takes a lot of research.  There is a company that makes turbos that bolt in place of the muffler.  They use totally different AR''s and trim due to the cooler exhaust gas, but anything is possible!

dude....you''re still under warranty. and companies are still researching how to build a turbo for your block. chill....in time products will appear.

hell, the 7th gen''s best s/c kit replaces the a/c unit.

oh wow...that is unique. a rear mounted turbo? [sm=badbadbad.gif] heh heh heh

live2rice -> RE: 08 Accord Turbo or Supercharger? (7/3/2008 12:10:38 PM)

yeah those are nothing new, however it takes a whole lot of piping and a royal pain in the ass

STS was what came to mind to me as well. The Fidanza ''Vette is powered by twin STS turbos mounted by the rear wheels...

nate08 -> RE: 08 Accord Turbo or Supercharger? (7/14/2008 12:25:07 PM)

does anyone know what kinda price range it is to do a STS twin turbo system?

falkore24 -> RE: 08 Accord Turbo or Supercharger? (7/14/2008 1:01:24 PM)

Somewhere between $6k and $20k.  Why don''t you send them an email?

My gosh the guy just wants to bounce ideas off you guys do you have to be condescending in every post?  he is looking to see if there is anything available. I am still waiting on a turbo kit for my 06 so I see that there are a few for the 04 nothing mass produced yet and they want $5,500 for the one they got

falkore24 -> RE: 08 Accord Turbo or Supercharger? (8/12/2008 9:31:34 AM)

^^^  Why not bounce the idea off of the company that can give him a real price then?

superpurple -> RE: 08 Accord Turbo or Supercharger? (8/13/2008 5:25:34 AM)

Well maybe because he does not know of any?  I don''t know isn''t this a honda accord forum aren''t you guys supposed to be on the cutting edge doing mods and have a full understanding of the Car and what works and what dosen''t.  My gosh I have been a member of several forums this is the first one were I have ever seen the members treat someone like an idiot for just asking a question.  you are supposed to help out the new people. If the guy have been a member for 5 years and he ask a stupid question you raze him because he should know, but this is rediculous he is trying to get questions answered he does not know that you guys aren''t proactive and that you all just wait till someone builds a plug and play kit.  The other forums I am on people actually do ther own mods and build there on stuff they don''t just wait till someone else does it for them.  So it would normally make perfect sense for a car entheisiast to go to a forum and inquire about mods.  For example I am part of a GM forum I was inquireing about a turbo kit for the 08 pontiac g8 you know what they were 8 guys who had already built there own and three links the where they were frabicating them right now.  I have an 06 accord and the only kit i see is for an 04 that i would probibly have to modify to fit my car.    

falkore24 -> RE: 08 Accord Turbo or Supercharger? (8/13/2008 5:55:02 AM)

Reread the entire thread, especially post #5.  And "we guys" are normal people .... this isn''t some performance shop that tests mods and ideas, it''s a forum.  The only person that is upset here is you.

I read, so I guess that makes me "cutting edge".

superpurple -> RE: 08 Accord Turbo or Supercharger? (8/13/2008 7:36:37 AM)

I know i saw the sts system but some of the post were just plain rude and it is no way to talk to some one asking questions here is an example of what i am talking about there are no I mean not a single turbo kit available any where for a f body with a 3800 v6 and here look at how these guys respond to a similar question like the asked one here. 
http://www.3800pro.com/forum/turbos/21713-there-any-hope-96-f-body-3-8-a.html
these guys are polite to begin with helpful and they know there stuff you don''t a bunch of bullcrap like what i see on here
