The article has been discussed for sure, I looked at it very closely ( I have it)for my own personal reasons and it did give a few calculations for the C35 engine but not too much can be pulled from it as it was a project where they really just briefly and vaguely discussed what they planned to do. personally I don't think there setup would have been as good as it could have been, hence why they possibly scrapped it.

What issue was it Telion? I'd like to get it just for fun...unless you could scan it in?

I will scan it for you I can't remember which issue it was but it was last year I think if you do a search on Eaton or M90 supercharged RL it will pull the thread that has the issue.

Edit here is the thread and it was the October of 06' issue
Honda Tuning Oct2006:Custom supercharger

why wud you turbocharge an RL, Grumpysteelman?

what about lag and the fact that its an automatic car with a redline of less than 6K. if you were to push it, then it wud upshift, then where will you be? sitting in the nonboost zone for a second waiting for turbo Vtec to kick in?

supercharger wud be best for this car but its only purpose wud be to get in the passing lane and attempt to keep up with the E63 and M5 that just blew by you.

^for the average individual with the average RL and average knowlege this may be true but I think he can work around those issues. (Not saying your avg)

Why 'wud' you question my concise, well thought out posts in this thread if you can't be bothered to spell things properly? I honestly imagine ignorance is to blame, so just for fun I'm going to smoke you. Try to keep up.

What do you get if you don't have a turbo? Lag until redline and then more lag, because you never get any boost. Why is a turbo a good idea? Because off-idle torque is the enemy of a heavy front-wheel drive car... That is what a positive displacement blower is all about. If we're talking centrif, then the same RPM arguments could be made for both centrif blowers and turbos...oh wait, but I've seen Mustang Automatics with both...and they both worked, nicely...and they don't have 8k rpm redlines.

A turbo isn't anything like VTEC anyway, so I hope you're just trying to be cute.

Unless you have a moron of a monkey putting together your turbo system, it is easy to have a low boost threshold (this means 'lag' time) and a reasonable power increase in absolutely any car. Don't you think those turbodiesel pickup trucks with automatics stay in boost through the upshifts? Well they do, and I promise that they're NOT revving up to 6k rpm. Now you'll tell me that those don't work either. (We won't even mention the Buick Grand National, v6 automatic that B+O brought up, because I'm sure you read this whole thread).

In FACT an automatic is an excellent platform for a turbo, instead of more lag there is no lag on the upshifts because the engine stays under load 100% of the time. There is no "nonboost zone" once you have overcome the boost threshold in an automatic car. THERE IS NONE. The turbo would have to be seriously mismatched for there to even be a drop in boost pressure for a street car. The obvious exception would be a GT42R powered EVO that runs with no wastegate, so boost is directly dependent on RPMs, but we're not talking 800hp and we're not talking about running with no wastegate, so that is out.

Quite simply, and I'll make this VERY simple for you. Take this turbo:
T3/T04B 60-1, .63 A/R turbine housing, Stage 3 turbine wheel.
Put it on an RL with a properly sized intercooler, 3" exhaust, and get the engine management right, and it would rock the house. At 10psi you could support 300-400hp depending on supporting mods, and at 15psi 400-450bhp. I would expect full boost at 2300rpm which is right where the torque converter stall is...it couldn't be more perfect than that.

If you have even the smallest bit of intelligent insight, I'd like to hear it, but since I'm sure you 'wud' have said something intelligent already I'll continue.

They can blow me all they want, and so can you. Cheers!

Dude i answered your question 3 weeks ago, why'd you just ask it again?!

Turbo Kit for V6 please help

You deserve any berating Grumpy gave you

Not only that, I told you RLs before 2005 don't have VTEC and you threw that in there again...good job!

3.5RL

go check on cardomain.com there is a turbo RL 96 I think...dude I try to contact him but he doesn't response lol WTF.....

No response from this guy I imagine because he's full of shit. I hope this guy has an accident. Soon. I don't think it'll be in his RL though, since it probably doesn't run.

Full Of Shit Turbo RL

I see a 'turba' doesn't mean it works.

So let's ask ourselves about a few of his mods:

RAZZZZZZZZZZ WRONG. That shit won't help tune a turbo car. Moron.

RAZZZZZZZZZZ WRONG. Why would you buy one of these for a FWD car? Is it that hard to do a FWD burnout? No.

RAZZZZZZZZZZ Uh huh, turbo and 150 shot of nitrous...but...no internal engine mods...and a piggyback ecu that advances ignition timing.

Uh huh, just shut the fuck up. 700hp worth of turbo on that car? Nahhhhh.

Custom means ugly and badly welded by his uncle "Freddy."

Custom means eBay off the auction special.

LMAO that guy used to be a member here.

Me and Tyler spoke with him a while back. I have the AIM convo that Tnelson saved from maybe 4 or 5 years ago. Let me see if i can find it.

In the mean time, this is his profile.
