I just found out that the Comptech S/C has a boost upgrade available... it only goes to 6psi (new pulley and belt) and makes about 10 extra whp. So I suppose with their testing... 6psi is safe!

 

Where did you find out this, just curious??

I would feel that running 93 octane would allow for a safe 7 - 8 psi, but not more than that. I would estimate it would give about an additional 25 WHP at about 7.5 PSI boost over the base 5.5 PSI. I ran 15 PSI boost on my GTP, albeit it was running 8.5:1 CR, but was running the older blower style, i.e. less efficient.

 

damn, i was hoping for an upgrade to at least 8, probably 10psi...huh, guess i'll have to keep a small shot on just in case

 

Has this been advertised on their website?

 

I have been holding on to this little nugget of wisdom.

I think it actually brings the boost up to around 7psi, but I will have to get confirmation. The retail on the kit is $79. Comptech does recommend upgrading the injectors--at least on the Accord.

The upgraded pulley will void the warranty on the S/C, though. Per Comptech....they have set the system up with what they are comfortable with, boost wise, and are not quite comfortable with pushing the motor any harder. Comptech does the same thing on all of their boost upgrade kits--viod the S/C warranty--including the ones for the NSX. Comptech has never had a S/C fail with the added boost, but just do this as a precautionary measure.

how hard would it be to throw on the old pulley should the unit fail?

 

typeR,

Not that hard at all--takes about 10-15mins. I don't know how they would be able to track it down either.

 

Why would they sell an upgraded pulley that VOIDS the warranty on their own product (S/C). I dunno... Doesn't make much sense to me.

 

sounds hot... too bad NO ONE on this forum owns an S/C yet =( wish i had the $$$ to do it =(

 

well, the Comptech guy that came to our West Coast CL/TL meet in oregon (who brought the blue 6speed supercharged CL) said that they are making an intercooler for the kit so that we can boost up to 10psi

 

damn, everybody's talkin about blowers latley, i want one

 

Comptech told me. I am not certain on amount of additional boost though! I doubt they would simply add an intercooler and raise the boost to 10psi! That's a lot of boost on a motor with 10.5:1 compression without any ECU tuning. If they do provide something to tune the ECU... that'll be very nice

I suppose a good 335 to 350whp will be nice with that kit. Unfortunately in CA, we have 91 octane... hence the only time boost will be increased is when 100 octane gas is available

 

I would be happy with a solid 325 WHP which should be doable. I do suspect that part of the limitations in the standard kit comes from the octane available in places like CA. I have no problem finding 93 grade as all stations have it out here.

 

Yea ain't it great living in the good ol' South .

Dean, i want my SC, what's the latest on the 5AT ?? Please

 

mid february for the auto SC

 

Matt, are you going for it?!?! It's still up in the air for me.. I got the money saved.. but just not sure yet..

 

Red Rider,

Mid February Just like mattg said... yeah!!!!

I know there are a couple of you waiting patiently---ok, well maybe not patiently, but are a little excited about this thing coming out, just like me.

Dean

 

Dean.

Any official word on the actual boost-level and what the approx. whp is on 91 octane?

Thanks

 

allmotor_2000,

Nothing yet. It has not officially been released yet. Basically they have tapped out the 6-speed with the base kit on the stock injectors.....so, if you want to increase the boost, there is going to be a need for upgraded injectors. They are currently working on a "kit" that will replace the stock injectors, recalibrate the FMU and have a new pulley and belt---no ETA at this time.

Sorry

Dean

 

What boost level did they max out on the 6spd with stock injectors? I am pretty sure it is more than the 5.5psi that is advertised... as that is with some margin, I presume!

 

i might not get the charger now....i found a 1984 camaro z28 with 86k original miles, 5 spd, 350 for 1000$... i dunno if i can pass that up

 

Oh Man, i got goose bumps
