I spoke to the Comptech rep yesterday at SEMA in Atlantic City here in NJ and he said that they will be producing a supercharger for the Base RSX
me and another member, RSX-Bob, talked to him for like half an hour about the S supercharger and the base supercharger
He said that the manifold has been adapted from the S to fit the base RSX and the TSX
he also said that the base will run a black box piggy back ECU program for the management of the base system - he said it will change the VTEC engagement point and i think he said something about changing the cam phasing but im not too sure (really cant remember that and the two other things he said the program will be doing)
he said expect the base kit to be around the same price as the Stage I kit for the S and it should be out in about 6 months - they are going to release the TSX kit first, then the base RSX kit - and a type S stage II kit should be out soon too
he said the major detail that needs to be finalized on the base kit is the piggy back system - they have 4 prototypes made so far and are working on finalizing the design
he also noted a few things about the SC kit that make it very unique:
the injectors are Honda injectors that are re-machined for higher fuel output - no messing with RC injectors
every bolt on the system is a honda bolt and will be the same size as the stock bolts - no needing to change sockets when removing the stock IM and putting on the SC
the kit can be purchased at the dealer and installed by the dealer - you will experience some warranty issues from Acura over it but if the kit breaks for any reason, Comptech will pay the dealer to pull the supercharger and fix it
he also said the kit is moderately easy to install by yourself - just need to read up on the directions on their site and take your time
oh one more thing - he said that the supercharger will be available for the base 5 speed and base auto RSX
time to start saving
