Fellow Gearheads,

I'm coming from the Diesel Truck world. Came across a deal I couldn't pass up to buy a 2010 TSX 4cyl. It's pretty sporty but I'm used to a 600+hp Duramax.
I gotta get some more power out of this little critter. Spool me up on my options! I got the dough to drop and I am more than mechanically inclined. I've done some research and can't seem to find any kits that aren't discontinued or track-only versions.

-I want to go with a supercharger. (But will the mpg be better or worse than swapping a V6 into it?)
-Can I get a link to full kits please
-Which "model" motor do I have? (kzwu737632md ???)
-Recommendations for upgraded suspension components
-Recommendations for upgraded CV axles

GO!

Car has a K24Z3. Supercharging is substantially cheaper than swapping in a V6 and will net similar gains. Even then, you’re making around 250whp if you’re lucky. “Track-only” versions are just for liability reasons for the company that sells it. You can put it on your street car. Anything beyond 250whp and you’ll be needing to upgrade your transmission as well, assuming it’s automatic.

As someone who read very thoroughly into this while he owned a 2009 manual TSX, you’re better off buying a different car if you want to modify that heavily.
