Comptech SC is a joke!

Real disapointment!

I just read on the comptech BB that the Comptech SC will add 40-50 HP on the wheels.

Mike's Dyno shows that with only Headers and CAI he got 236HP an extra of 36HP!

So, SC kit (with headers and ICE box) adds 50 HP, so the real gain of the SC is just 15 wheel HP. That is a joke!

BTW, only 6PSI, not even a 10 PSI, nor 15 PSI!!!

The headers and intake add 50hp? What is the stock intake blocked with? Cotton?

I wonder if a lot of this has to do with the reliability of the tranny with any bigger loads. Maybe that is why it is 6 psi. I guess we will find out when the 6 speed comes out.

The HP and torque improvement from the SC is likely to be throughout the RPM range, not just concentrated above 5500 RPM like with the headers.

Take it easy. It wouldnt be hard at all to fabricate a bigger pulley for the kit. With mods doen you do gain more hp. This was done on the Accord, and not on the CL. I'm pretty sure we will see a bigger gain.

Good point ! Depends on the price, but how else are you gonna get 50 extra H.P. after headers, etc. ? If it's 6 psi, then maybe Comptech wants to give you as much H.P. without blowing your tranny. By the way, i know the 3.5 conversion is also available but isn't that at least as much, and it only adds about 25 H.P. if you already have headers.

75hp at the wheels suddenly turns into 15hp at the wheels? All I gotta ask is "wtf"?

Good thing there's a rumor of another company creating a supercharger for our car. Not only will it keep the price down, it'll keep the performance up (we can only hope).

Well judging from the SC made for the s2000, I doubt the HP increase will be across the rpm range. Thats the style of SC they use. Boost only at and above vtec. Comptech SC for the s2000 runs at 6psi also. For that kind of money, get a custom built turbo. Thats what a few s2000 owners are turning to.

theres no way a 5K super is going to add 15hp. this isnt amateur hour, its comptech (whatever that means)

im sure they are also considering tranny compatibility

It doesnt work that way either. You cant just add HP like that. There are so many variables that can change the output. The headers/intake/pulleys/exhaust will help out a lot, but I dont think you will get the power you got from the mods, and the SC and add them together. The engine will flow differently, and that changes the equation.

Wouldn't a SMALLER s/c pulley be in order for more boost???
