I have 99 tl and want to know if there are any turbo kits for it or turbos that would work for it.

You'll have to get it custom made. Prototype Racing did do one for the old 99 Honda Accord V6 but that was a one-off kit.

k how would that cost?

You should probably do a search for what exactly you need. The manifold, turbo and downpipe will need to have matching bolt patterns and bolt up to the head and exhaust, so those will have to be custom made. Charge piping for an intercooler will also have to be custom made. Fuel management is going to be troublesome, though.

It can be done though, just depending on how fat your wallet is.

To tell you the truth, that won't be enough for a custom frabrication turbo on a V6. Have you thought about getting the Comptech supercharger?

Turbo charging an automatic is like putting air-brakes on a terrapin.

can't put the comptech superchager cuz i don't have a type-s

You can get the V6 Accord kit and modify it slightly to make it fit.

fast99tl · 05-24-05, 12:43 AM

how much work would the modifications take.

**AcuraTL** · 05-24-05, 02:43 AM

Are you in CA? If so, you can contact Motorsports Technique located in Hayward, CA because I saw them do one before. If not, you can contact Comptech and I am sure they can tell you what kind of modifications you need.
