What is the best way to add horsepower to my 2007 Acura TSX?

Leave it alone so it don't blow up on you. wait until its paid off firstWhat is the best way to add horsepower to my 2007 Acura TSX?
First, dont touch it until the warranty expires, because if you modify the car and something breaks, they wont cover it, even if it wasnt your fault.
Well if your car is still under warranty then you would want to stick to bolt ons that you can easily remove before trading the car in or taking into the shop for maintenance. The first thing I would recomment are high density spark plug wires coupled with high density spark plugs, Cold air intake and an exhaust. From those little mods you can get up to 15 horse power gain which is more than enough for you to feel plus you will feel alot better throttle response and low end torque. Those few things won't void your warranty and should hold you off until the car is paid off then you can slap a greddy turbo kit on there if you have 3,400 to blow. You can always chip or flash if you don't want to go the route of forced induction.What is the best way to add horsepower to my 2007 Acura TSX?
Weld it to a Ferrari!
Don't.



You modify your car and the first thing that happens is you invalidate your warranty. If they find out that you have done something to enhance the power output of your vehicle they will use this as an excuse not to do any work on your car.



The next thing that happens is you invalidate your insurance. If you add horses to your car without telling your insurance company, they have every right to refuse to pay out if you claim. This can put you in a world of pain if something bad happens.



Finally, when you come to sell your car the buyer will assume that you are a boy racer. They will therefore assume that the car has been thrashed and not want to buy it. So all that money you spent is not only flushed, but the car is now worth considerably less than if you left it as factory spec.



If you want a faster car, save up and trade it in for a TL. Don't waste your money trying to modify your car.What is the best way to add horsepower to my 2007 Acura TSX?
If you are going to do forced induction... now is the time to do it. WHen the mileage is high the FI mods aren't as safe for the engine.



If you don't want to go the forced induction route try things like ignition upgrade, injectors, cams, intake, headers and exhaust.



You have one of my favorite cars, I would love to see one done all engine.
if you go to the tsx club forum they have alot of ways to do it. It will cost you lots of money. I own an 06 tsx and it has enough horsepower for me. That is why I bought it.
The great thing about Acura TSX's is that there aer a lot of aftermarket parts available. If you're on a budget, a cold air intake or a turbo may be your best bet. If you have money to burn, though, you could always go with the aforementioned along w/ some performance injectors and forged pistons. However, the best surefire way for more hp is a cold air because they work well and they're pretty inexpensive.
Don't touch it until the warranty expires, if you start modifying the car and something breaks, they wont cover it, even if it wasn't your fault. Then there a lot of forms that can help you. The TSX has alot of great aftermarket parts available. :)
Use additives, such as Xylene, in amounts of 5% to 10% for each gallon of gas put into the tank.

If it is available, a computer program, and a laptop to run the program and make changes to the computer in the car to adjust the performance of the engine. Blue print the engine, that is have it machined to meet design specifications. Have the exhaust and air intake passages milled out to maximize air, and exhaust gas flow. Change the cams that control the valves. Change the rear end ratio so that fewer input rpm's result in more power to the wheels. Use Nitro as a boost. Put in a turbo charger. Go to an automotive speed shop and see what they have to say.
I'd get a hondata ECU and an RSX-S head.
