We will be using the TVS blower similar to the one we currently use on the BMW N62 motor "pictured below" along with an air/water cooling system. This blower can produce massive amounts of HP and TQ.

p.s. And how exactly do you know that the wider body of the BS has no benefits on the handling!?
The Accord coupe is an okay looking car for what it is. Not a good look for the car like the C63 BS IMO.

I'm sure it has some benefits that generally come with a wider stance obviously but it isn't markedly better than an M3 GTS which has tasteful fender flares (I will say that the M3 could use more aggressive rear flares).

No amount of downforce (isn't 3800 lbs enough downforce ) can justify that wing (that goes for the GTS too).

Since it's debut I've only seen three here at the dealership, a white one, a black one, and a matte black one, and honestly man they all look good and damn near drive good... Now for the price however I'd opt to get something different but for a vehicle in it's class it's damn near untouchable.
I'm just sharing my differing opinion and giving you a hard time.

But the GTS isn't even available here in the states right?

Weistec currently has different level kits available for that platform, so expect something similar to this:

Cant wait to see the ESS setup !
That is a lot of power for the money!!

Just requires "high flow exhaust, removal of secondary air pump, and spark plugs" which is awesome.

Could that blower be used for our S65 Engine?
