Comptech Products Coming!!!
Check it out, good stuff on the way: http://solar.innercite.com/comptech/development.html
:D :angel: :D Now if they'd just post prices. The site says you can pre-order. I emailed them to find out how to pre-order without prices posted. I'll post the reply when I get it. |
:eek: :eek: :eek:
AWESOME ! :bandito: |
:boink:
|
THose are some good looking products!
Doesn't Comptech usually run real expensive? |
:eek: but :D
|
Very very Nice !
|
i actually just got a message form a comptech guy yesterday. exhaust(booo) will be out next month with more to follow.
|
oooh icebox in devel. If i get an intake it looks like that will be the one. Looks like AEM might only be coming out with a SRI. The icebox should help eliminate the little torque dip you get with the SRI 2500-3000. Plus it will be way more muted.

"We haven't set any prices yet until pre-productions pieces are made. We don't charge the card until the item is ready to ship. If you do pre-order, we would call you before stuff is shipped out. " I would think the prices will likely be similar to the RSX products. Their prices may be high, but Comptech has the only aftermarket products that will not void a Honda/Acura warranty.:D |
i want dynos :boink: :boink:

:love:
Sweeeeeeeet!!!!!! |

Originally posted by Bear Trap Comptech has the only aftermarket products that will not void a Honda/Acura warranty.:D No mods will void warrantee unless they are the root cause of breaking an OEM part. This is part of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. Good term to throw around at a dealer who gives you shit about having aftermarket goods. The plus about comptech parts is if you have the comptech parts installed by an authorized Comptech acura dealer, and if the comptech parts fail it will be covered under warrantee. If you install the comptech parts yourself or by a third party shop or even not an authorized comptech dealership than you don't get any more special treatment than the rest with the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. |
droooooooling.....:love:

hay copland007... sorry off topic, but how many times did your tranny die?? :angel:
|
I've never done mods--can somebody tell me more about CAI?
I know it bring cold air in. I don't know how that helps. I've heard it can bump HP a bit. But on the old site, I remember reading things about them making the car very loud (and ricey?). Another post mentioned a problem with going through a deep puddle with a CAI. How much do they cost? Is installation long and/or expensive? Sorry for the newb-ness. |

Is installation long and/or expensive? Sorry for the newb-ness. You're probably thinking of me saying the intake I put on sounded ricey (and I took it off), however this Comptech setup is different. I used an open air filament with a short tube connecting it to the throttle body, this has nothing to muffle the sound and therefore it is loud. With the COmptech cold airbox setup, I don't think that will be the case since it's enclosed and all, I do think it will sound louder, but it shouldn't sound to bad. Guess we'll have to wait and see!:D |

Is installation long and/or expensive? Sorry for the newb-ness. Let's see, next. Air intakes. They can be categorized as short ram, full cai, enclosed cai, and home made pipes. In general they are designed to increase the air intake (breathability) of your car. Getting cooler, faster air into the combustion chamber means quicker throttle response, more HP, faster car basically. Although from just an intake don't expect a world of difference, only single to low teens in terms of HP at the crank (not hp at the wheel). Short RAM - Intake pipes are shorter, air filter element is exposed inside engine bay. Pros: Much deaper sound, no worry of water being sucked into your engine. Cons: It is sucking up warm air from the engine bay Full CAI - Intake pipers are longer, air filter element is placed low to the ground behind front bumper. Pros: Cooler outside air is taken in, usually better HP gains than short RAM Cons: Possibility of sucking up water (unlikely, but a possibility). Not as noisy as short RAM (could be a pro or con depending on whether that is what you are looking for). Enclosed CAI - Only a few in this ballgame. Comptech IceBox comes to mind. The air intake is located in a closed air filter box in the engine bay with an extension pipe leading low to the ground behind front bumper. Pros: Very quite (stock sound and look), it looks stock. Similar or better full RPM band HP gain compared to full CAI. Cons: It doesn't dress up the engine bay like short or full CAI. Home made - Some have just removed their resonator and replaced the air filter with a high flow filter from H&R or Comptech. Pros: Very Cheap, only slightly louder Cons: Sucks up slighty warm engine bay air (not as much as short RAM). Not as much HP gains as full CAI. |
I want an enclosed CAI. U think they will make it, how much?
I know, I need the car 1st too |
Good descriptions
thanx |
Thanks, great info. It helps sell the Comptech too.
Enclosed seems like the way to go -- I don't care about how the engine looks, just how it performs. I don't want a snorkel here in rain-happy SoFla either. |
I know things like CAI and headers increase the air flow, but it ddoesn't look like the headers are constricting. I thought on engines most headers is one tube that goes sideways along all ports collecting air, and then there is a backup, but it looks like each port has it's own pipe on the TSX, will headers make a difference? Also when you increase horsepower by unconstricting airflow, how much gas mileage would you typically be sacrificing? Do we know how the exhaust is, I would hate to change it, look so beautiful. The only thing I like better are the oval exhausts, some Mercedes have them, and I think Remus makes a few nice ones. SOrry for all teh n00b questions

Tough trade off as torque is already a bit low for my taste
|
dynos dyno dynos.. in lot of applications headers don't lose any torque just gain at the top end only. We shall have to see when the info becomes available!

Comptech website updated and now has TSX section:
http://www.comptechusa.com/products.html They are selling a short shifter now and everything else says coming soon... Not soon enough!!!:excited: |
I just want the cat back exhaust, that fuckers SWEET...OK I'll take the CAI too.:D
|
Alright...And the strut tower brace...and that's all I need.:D
|

BTW, you guys with the 6MT need to get short shifters, I've got one on my Bimmer and it is the best mod for so cheap IMO!!
|
Do you think they will have an enlosed cai or at only a full?
|
Comptech's icebox looks similar to the OEM intake system. It does have a tube similar to your normal CAI that extends below, replacing the resonator.

Originally posted by TSXY THe TSX already has a 3 point STB, don't you think that's good enough? |
Originally posted by swami Yeah...But it's not titanium though.:cool: Well I guess weight is good, and of course it does look nicer |
Originally posted by TSXY So I guess the benefit would be because it's lighter then? To me the structure of it looks the same as the stock tower bar. Well I guess weight is good, and of course it does look nicer |

Ya, the TSX needs to lose some weight for sure!
A good STB isn't just eye candy, after installing one on my 328 (it didn't have one stock), eye noticed an improvement for sure, steering was tighter and the front end did seem more solid. But since the TSX already has one, I'm not sure if you'll really notice a difference in driving feel, other than it may be a few pounds lighter |
