The pure excitement when you first felt it! ahaha good stuff man 🤙🏽
Fr I haven’t been that excited in a long time haha, thanks bro!🙏
I know you’ve got this in the works to lmao sneaky ass I know that over time checks are stacking my boyyyy
you the first on you tube to do this nice dude
Thanks man!🙏 Almost wasn’t gonna post this video just because it’s not fully tuned and there’s still a bit of work to be done but I’m just too hyped about it haha
Giving hope to the masses! Love seeing more modded out TLs
Thanks man! These things are super underrated imo, I gotta let the people know haha!
@@NickTrelford they definitely are! You’re making me want to get a Type-S, got a 4g AWD now but always loved the look of the 3g
The 3G definitely has somewhat of a timeless styling, but a boosted AWD 4G would be pretty crazy though👀
I love that you put the engine covers back on! Makes the engine bay look clean
Thanks man! Yeah I was surprised everything fit perfectly, looks like it could be stock aside from the BOV haha
this thing just keeps getting better the more time passes
Thanks man I really appreciate it!🙏🙏
Clean build bro! Finally someone went supercharged on the TL! we need more content!
Thanks man!! Editing a new video right now😅🙏
Love the build i have a cbp 2008 that im gonna build 180k miles still running strong 💪🏽
Thanks!🙌 Love to hear about other higher mileage examples still going strong!💪
I just picked up my TL and was looking to spice it up, glad I can across your video. I love the 3rd gen look 😍
Welcome to the club!🤝🔥
Man huge props on that 👏🏼 finna buy the same gbp supercharger 1.5 kit
Thanks man!🙏 Totally recommend it, the kits are awesome and on top of that the customer support is incredible, and that’s super important imo!
Man you just gave me inspiration and motivation to really make my dream come true for my 08 Type s. Great fucking content man!
You have no idea how much I appreciate that man! Thank you🙏🙏
Congrats bro! You're living my dream right now.
Thanks man!🙏🙏
Awesome content man, appericate you sharing this build on youtube. I have a 07 TL-S 5AT in KBP as well, have you done any kind of preventative mods or upgrades to the transmission? Always thought about doing the GB rotrex kit but im over here in Cali so getting it smog certified would be a pain
Thanks man!🙏 I haven’t had time yet but I’ll be doing new OEM pressure switches and a trans flush/fill with the Redline trans fluid mix recommended by Andy-it seems to hold up really well after that, there’s a guy who’s been running 500+whp for years and had no issues whatsoever with the 5AT!
Dude finally got me a type s it’s pearl white so damn clean already did exhaust and intake I’m freaking stoked interior isn’t ripped small crack on dash but already have a cover for that but yeah love the vid
That’s awesome man congrats!!!🔥 Glad you could find a clean one, definitely getting harder to do!
LETS GOOO!! SUPER EXCITED FOR YOU BROTHA
Thanks bro!!!🙏🙏 Super excited to finish up the tune and film some WOT clips, gonna be insane🤞
Awesome! Sounds great, I’ll be waiting for that video with the cost and such and such!! I’ve been wanting to boost my TL but never gotta clear understanding of how to do it.
Thanks!🙏 Coming soon for sure!!
Man I’m selling my project car to get this kit soon… happy to see what our auto Type S’s can do
Hell yeah man you’re gonna love it! After seeing a few examples of guys pushing 500+whp with the 5AT I was sold, these kits are amazing
@@NickTrelford you definitely got my sub bro going to slowly start modding my S
I appreciate that man!!🙏🙏
Sounds like a V8 awesome!
Thanks!🙏
Nice bro! I want to turbo charge my 4th gen sh-awd 6mt so bad. I can't afford it tho, lol. I know you are having a blast with it! Keep the great content coming!
Definitely a pricey project but a ton of fun! Thanks bro🙌
That open down pipe was nice
Crazy loud though hahaha
Also on the resonators- you’ll want two. I am on the exact same journey here with a 6-6 accord. 2 vibrants and a muffler is still loud. Better, but still loud.
Yeah I’ve been wondering if I should get a second one on order just in case-I love loud cars but this thing is significantly louder than my pretty much open header C63 AMG so that just ain’t right😂
That’s sweet man. I’m concerned about the intake near the ground while Canadian wet season starting
Thanks man! I don’t drive the car in the rain at all(mostly because it’s scary with r-comps) so it wasn’t a concern for me! If I recall correctly you can get an extended intake that sits up at the top/front of the engine bay, but I want the cooler air flowing into the intake to keep IAT’s down and hear all the spool haha😅
Just picked up supercharged acura tl type s with comtech
Hell yeah bro congrats!! How’re you liking it?
God damn god damn fuck that sounds beautiful, 4th Gen owner sending love 🦾
Clean as fu! I always wished they made this in rwd!
Thanks! Yeah would’ve been awesome if they were rwd, I heard something about a guy developing a SH-AWD conversion lmao I’d be into that
FWD handles very well in snow, rwd doesnt.
You should bring this beast to a UASQUAD Ontario meet. Join the gang 😎💪
Definitely! Would love to meet up with the local members and check out everyone’s builds🙏
For sure. We try to do one a month from
April - September. I’ll keep you posted on the next meet 👊🏼
Awesome, sounds good!🙏
Wow. Just wow.
Haha thanks man🙏
Nice tl can't wait to more content on it
Thanks!! Me too, can’t wait to finish up the tuning and make some sick videos🙏
damn that is a nice TL
Thanks!🙏
you just got a new sub! cant wait to see some pulls
Coming soon!🙏
@@NickTrelford what stage kit did you end up going with ?
Just stage 1 for now, it’s pretty easy to upgrade the kit as the internals gets built for higher power, but it should be plenty in the meantime!
@@NickTrelford nice! what was your total price with everything needed and tune if you don't mind me asking....looking forward to one day doing it myself. Your video motivates me. Can't wait to see the next video on the TL
I still need to add everything up from the parts list, I’ll be doing a full overview of the parts and cost breakdown video in the next few weeks and I’ll explain everything there! Thanks man🙏
Holy hek, starts holy sh*t chant
😂🙏
That wheel fitment looking 🔥, what setup you running...
Thanks man!🙏 They’re 18x9.5+22 and the tires are 225/40/18-I’m also running 5mm spacers front and back
this is 🔥
Thanks man!🙏
I miss my tl 😭😭
Get another one😈
Bout to get an 08-14 model with the sharp ass lines through it. Going to Texas to look at it in a few weeks. I don’t think it’s a type s and I thing it has a 3.5 with FWD 6 speed auto…
What are some things I should look out for
Great video bro,I’ve been looking to get a tl type s for my first car
Thanks man! Would definitely be an awesome first car🤟
That TL looks beautiful. I have a 04 Tl 6 speed if you don't mind me asking what kind of rims do you have and what size on the TL?
Thanks!! They’re Volk TE37SL’s in Pressed Double Black, and they’re 18x9.5+22🙏
Putting on for the 5AT! Hope to put the Gerzybear kit on my Accord one day. Did you lose AC?
Yessirrr!🤝 I did lose it however I don’t mind because I typically never use it anyways, but you can retain it via an electric AC compressor-details can be found on the Gerzy Bear website or you can DM them on IG and Andy can set you up, he’s super knowledgeable!
What exhaust setup u got ? Im tryna get mine done here soon and i been looking to see what i like and yours sounds insane i have a tl tho
Thanks bro! My exhaust setup is RV6 Precat Deletes, RV6 V3 Longtube J-pipe, and an XLR8 resonated catback with rear mufflers deleted🤟
What parts had to be removed for the supercharger to fit? I have a 8th gen Accord Sedan with the V6 and I was wondering if there was a way to boost it without gutting the engine bay.
This is awesome man.
Thanks dude!🙏 The AC compressor along with some of the lines(lines removed just to clean it up, it could still be added back), the AC fan since it is no longer being used, and the slightest trimming on the inside of the bumper-aside from that, the only parts that came off were replaced by aftermarket parts, such as the OEM intake, injectors, plugs, fuel pump, etc., the engine bay almost looks stock aside from the big ol’ TurboSmart BOV sitting there lol! Even all of the OEM plastics still fit perfectly.
I’d reach out to Andy @ Gerzy Bear Performance on IG and he will be able to advise in a more in depth level, he is suuuuper helpful with getting you set up and helping with any questions you have
@@NickTrelford Okay thank you. So you essentially had to trade the AC for the Supercharger. Got it.
No problem man! There is an electric AC unit that can be installed(details on the Gerzy Bear website) and you can retain AC with the kit, just a little extra work haha
@@NickTrelford Thank you for the information, might be a future project I invest in.
Some tl content😮💨
Yessirrr!🤝
as soon as i saw the autotragic its okay i gues
It’ll get swapped whenever I have time, I don’t love autos either but this was originally just supposed to be a daily haha
Supercharger is fun but I’m not willing to lose ac/ps
You don’t lose power steering, and you can retain A/C! Gerzy Bear sells optional A/C hard lines for an electric compressor and quite a few guys run that, I just chose not to because I never use A/C lol!
You're a braver man than I, I would never put those dirty ass boxes on those nice seats. At least put some towels down! 😂
Sick TL!
I cringed when I watched it back and realized I did that haha, guess I was just in a rush😅 Thanks man!
What was the approximate cost of everything? My Friend has a 6 speed TL Type s that he’s going to sell me for a steal price and I want to boost it. I’m not too far from the shop you took your too at all too, only about an 8 hour drive. Would help a lot
I have a full build breakdown video on my channel with the cost of everything! I would highly recommend Fast Auto Concepts for the install, I haven’t had a single issue and they actually did a few custom brackets/lines to ensure everything was done right, super knowledgeable guys
time for lasfit led lights upgrade. ;)
Yeah I need to replace those dusty old daytime running light bulbs, I just drive around with my headlights on all the time so I don’t have to see em😂
Like the setup.. I have a question I hate the stock drl on my car and I saw you have a led,what' kind of bulb you used name?Ty
I have the ugly DRL aswell, I just keep my lights on 24/7 because they look better😭 I’ll definitely try to find a solution for that soon!
240 mph ? How is normally 160
It’s in Km/h! This thing would shed apart at 240mph😭😂
I have a question, I just got a 2004 Acura tl it’s pretty fun but where can I get a body kit and performance stuff like exhaust and intakes
I’d recommend HeelToeAuto.com - they have great customer service and have tons of aftermarket and OEM parts for TL’s💪
Hey man, my Crosstour's motor's done and I'm putting in miles to break in the engine while it's NA.
I've been watching your videos to try and get an idea of the fitment and was wondering what air filter did you use for the supercharger?
Do you have a part number I can look up, or is that part of your kit from Gerzy?
Was there no space to route the intake and filter away from the engine? I know the pre-cat is right there... I have a RV6 high flow pre-cat so it's not as bulky as the OEM but I think my Crosstour's even tighter than the TL.
Thanks
Hey man! It’s a K&N 3” inlet filter that comes with the kit! You can definitely route an intake pipe up to the top but I like it right off of the Rotrex for max power haha, definitely cooler down there opposed to up top
I had the RV6 high flow pre cats and had to switch to the PCDs because the kit won’t fit with the high flow cats, even that is too bulky unfortunately!😅
Sounds fucken crazy 😂😂😂
Thanks man!!
@@NickTrelford of course bro
Iwanna do this on mines now !! 🔥🔥🔥
I highly recommend it lmao it’s awesome-I’m hoping to have some real power pulls in the next video!🤞
Is it possible the stiffer motor mounts are causing false knock reads?
Absolutely-we’ve been wondering if it’s possibly a harmonics issue! Between the stiffer mounts and how loud the exhaust is, there is a TON of crazy frequencies & vibrations that I’m sure could freak out a knock sensor, especially at that throttle tip in area
What is the wheel setup?
I might have missed it, but what stage are you running with? This is something I'd like to do in maybe a year or 2 with mine. The fact I can put this on a automatic has my scrotum tight! I love the sound of your whip, but I'd probably put a resonator on it. I deleted mine and although louder.....I get this nasty drone in the cabin.
I went with Stage 1! I just posted a full build breakdown video for reference if anyone wants to replicate this setup💪 But fr this thing needs another resonator or two, it’s so loud it’s driving me insane😂
I’m thinking bout getting a 07-08 type s and just wondering which is bettersuper charging or turbo charging
In my opinion, supercharging with the Gerzy Bear Performance Kit is the way to go because it doesn’t take any drivability away from the car-it fits super nicely and is almost like an OEM upgrade, and it has been done and revised so many times that it is really well sorted out. Turbo charging is going to require a lot more custom fab work, but it’s definitely an awesome option! My buddy “The LifeStyle” on YT is doing a turbo build on his super clean Type-S💪
Hey Nick. Where'd did you get your steering wheel?
It’s actually a sew on cover from EastDetailing.com ! Use code EAST595687 for 10% off if you end up ordering one💪
Hey man im also looking to do the same. Just curious whats the configuration of the kit you chose?
I went with the Stage 1 kit just to keep it safe, and we unfortunately don’t have E85 around here-it seems that it’s pretty easy to upgrade injectors/fuel lines down the line if you ended up building the motor and want more power, which is likely the route I’ll take!
question what ECU are you running since it's a automatic type S ??🔥 and love the build too 👏🏽🔥
It’s an ‘08 Type-S so I can use the OEM auto ECU! Thanks man🙌
@@NickTrelford would this work the same for the 07
Is that a custom steering wheel?
It’s a cover from EastDetailing.com! It takes a bit of work since you sew it on yourself, but I highly recommend it, one of my favourite mods I’ve done-if you pick one up use code: EAST595687 for 10% off🤟
I’m in the process of building a motor for my 08 TL for boost. Could we get in contact? I have a few questions on your turbo kit?
Yeah man absolutely, DM me on IG! @nicktrelford
Where do you find the motor mounts? I want to upgrade on my TL
I ordered them from Teknotik.com!
I'm doing this for a 2014 Honda Crosstour (J35Y1 built motor), do you have any plans on getting the AC working after this mod? If so please share your plans.
I did ask the FB group about the compressor, and research hasn't been the best on this, the price is also high for the ones that I did find. My mechanic was thinking about getting an electric compressor for some other cars and using it with the existing AC system and just re-running the lines.
Nice man! I am not planning to reinstall AC-for whatever reason I’ve just never used AC in cars because I don’t like the design/additional stress on the engines(weird I know) so it didn’t make a difference to me at all haha
But that’s an interesting idea, I suppose you’d just need to run a few new lines/power to the new compressor and it should work!
how did you go about tuning it? wanting to get this kit just curious how much it’d be for tuning
Derek at IMW(Innovative MotorWorks) tuned my car remotely via his E-Tuning service, which was $500USD and I would absolutely recommend it-amazing tuner💪
What about your air conditioner? Is it possible to have the AC while boosted?
Absolutely! I chose not to since I never use AC anyways, but per the Gerzy Bear website: “While it is lost by default, you are able to reinstall Air Conditioning (AC) using an aftermarket Treeligo electric AC compressor. No changes are needed to the factory HVAC system other than having a specialized AC shop extend existing refrigerant lines to the new compressor location and wiring up 12v power & the oem on/off trigger to it. Even if you choose not to implement AC, the vehicle will still retain cabin heat and all other functionality. While we do not provide the compressor and refrigerant hoses, we can advise you where to purchase them.”
I would reach out to Andy @ Gerzy Bear on IG with any specific questions!🙏
Will this fit on a 02??
Have you found the issues with the knocking yet ?
Not yet, really hoping it’s just the sensor. The car drives completely fine so it doesn’t make a ton of sense to see that much detonation imo-I’ll post an update once the new sensor is in!
What fuel injectors are you using? I've heard other people that tried to get tuned by Derek have knock and he was never able to fix it and they went to different tuners and there was no knock
550cc Bosch injectors-I have a new OEM knock sensor going in tomorrow so we’re hoping that solves the issue🙃🤞
@@NickTrelford If it doesn't fix the knock, change tuners is all I can say.
Hoping we can fix this with the next tuning revisions-I’ll be recording some datalogs today so we’ll see🥲
Do you have any upgrades to ur 5AT
Bone stock! Andy at Gerzy Bear Performance will recommend a Redline fluid blend that I will also be doing soon(just haven’t had time) and I’ll put it in a future video for reference!
Hi friend! Where did you get the tune from?
From Derek at Innovative MotorWorks Tuning!
What kind of exhaust setup ?
RV6 Precat Deletes, RV6 V3 Longtube J-pipe, and an XLR8 resonated catback with rear mufflers deleted🤟
What are you pushing HP?
Not sure yet as I still haven’t had time to get the car dyno’d, but should be around the 400whp mark at the moment!
What wheels are those and what’s the ecu
They’re Volk TE37SL’s in Pressed Double Black! And I’m running the factory ECU with a Hondata FlashPro🙌
What tail lights do you have also axel back exhaust?
They’re stock Type-S taillights! The current exhaust setup is RV6 Precat Deletes, RV6 V3 Longtube J-pipe, and an XLR8 resonated catback with rear mufflers deleted🤟
Did u do cat deletes & muffler
The current exhaust setup is: RV6 Precat Deletes, RV6 V3 Longtube J-pipe, and an XLR8 resonated catback with rear mufflers deleted🤟
Could this be done on a Base '06 TL automatic?
I believe so! I would message Andy via the Gerzy Bear Performance Instagram and he can help you out with any technical questions🙌
@NickTrelford Will do, thanks man 👊
Where did u get PCD from?
J-Spec in Markham had them in stock!
Dynoed yet?
Not yet🙃 barely had time to drive it, but I need to get it on the rollers ASAP-thinking I might also do some tuning revisions while we’re at it so we can try to squeeze out some extra power!
How much for that supercharger
The kit itself is $5K USD but I’m gonna make a full cost breakdown video of everything you would need(and some extra stuff I’d recommend) soon!
Why would you boost an auto knowing the transmission wont hold up lol should have got a 6mt..
Because I can🙂 The trans is holding up completely fine and I’m swapping for a 6mt trans whenever I get finished other projects, this is just a car I bought to be a daily driver, I don’t care
@@NickTrelford have you had it on a dyno yet? Curious as to how much is lost in drivetrain and slipping compared to a 6mt with the same setup
mileage?
380,000kms on the chassis😂 The motor/trans are significantly lower mileage however haha
What the wheels spec
Nvm I watch the last video
Not sure if I mentioned it in the last video but I also have 5mm spacers front and back with this setup🙏
Pretty uneventful
How much does it cost did you get the stage one ??
I forget the exact number but the full cost breakdown is in the build summary video on my channel!
