So i got the car back on Thursday and it was well worth the 3+ month wait.

Totally transforms the car now and it’s a whole new beast. I totally agree with what has been said before in that it’s not neck breaking power but instead it feels like a larger engine has been slid under the hood.

Very smooth and controllable power delivery and that S/C whine is freaking intoxicating. Since I filled up on Friday I’ve already drove about 100 miles to just get the feel of the car and I’m already at 1/2 a tank. Just normal driving around I’ll almost never even get into boost however when it’s needed, its there.

The gauges work great and i had them done so they light up red at night. Looks real nice. I have the option of making them white or even light up green but i'll see how red grows on me.

I’m glad I went with the HBP right off the bat. I do need new tires though as I’ve already chirped the 3 to 4th shift. The max amount of boost i'm seeing is 6psi at WOT and it never rises above that. We did 2 checks with the gauges I have on now and we also did a few runs with another gauge taped to the windshield and that too maxed out at 6psi.

Tranny cooler is on and I had them replace the ATF fluid with Redline high temp. The ATF that came out was actually a perfect color. Looked damn good. Mugen cooling mods are on as well.

Money well spent and I couldn't be happier. I can see now what all the other S/C guys were talking about. I'm impressed and so is everyone who's gotten a ride in it. A buddy with a lightly modded 01 GT liked how smooth the delivery of power was as well.

Here's some pics; I’m heading back out to do some driving.

 

u bastard.......jk geez everytime i see pics and hear about it, it makes me wanna buy this.

congrats man

 

 

Congrats! Now get yourself to the track and make me jealous!

BTW, where did you get that pillar mount for the gauges?

 

nice chap look slick

 

congrats chap!!
now you need to get scalbert's intercooler and take the baby to the track!

 

kick ass chap! can't wait to get mine in the spring

-rez

 

im jealous

 

I hate you chap. Looks great. Red should be fine for the guages, I've heard that red light is very soothing on the eyes at night, thats why all audi's interior lights are red.

Is 6psi of boost where your supposed to be at?

Is a dyno and\or race track in your future?

 

Nice!! Glad you are enjoying it...

 

congrats!

 

 

chap whats the breakin time on those or is there not any?

 

Congrats! Now your going to make me go out and get one! If i ever get my car back!

 

It's about Friggin time !! Sounds like everything is workin great, have a blast

Love the guages, may have to do them myself !!

 

No break in necessary !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

congrats chaptorial. Im excited to hear that it runs so smooth. If you dont mind e asking, how much did the whole setup cost with the charger and install? Are you worried about voiding warranty?

 

Congrats and I am glad to hear you are using it and enjoying it. Just wait until it gets cooler and it will wake up even more..

And yep, simply a bigger engine feel. That boost sounds exactly right BTW!!!

 

congrats

how the hell did u chirp 3-4, thats at like 110 mph

r usure u dont mean 2-3

 

 

Don't get a ticket.

 

If I remember correctly, in a previous post he had talked to Park Ave. Acura prior to getting the install done at a performance shop and had agreed upon the terms of the warranty, and that it would not be voided with the addition of the supercharger.

If this is wrong, Chap will correct it.

 

Grats Keith! Dyno time!

 

^ Hey doesn't yours look like that too?

 

Chap has the HBP and 12v streetcharger pulley too. I'm sure I'll end up with that setup eventually but not for a few months... and certainly not until I get my squeeking pulley/bet and temperature "flare" problem fixed. I also called CT to get a new "Supercharged by Comptech" sticker since the one on my blower shaft was peeling off.

Chap's got the ultimate sleeper 5 A/T now! I'm predicting we see an I/C on there within a year too :P

 

Keith, congrats on the SC, I know that you will have a huge smile on your face evertime you get into your CLS!! I will get one soon but not now!!

Have fun!!

 

hit teh track up mang

 

Congrats Chap.....!!!

 

Very nice ! I see you got one of the silver ones, heard they make more power than the ones with the black housings. j/k

 

thats tight chap CONGRATS!!!!!!!!

 

Congrats Chap... All the best with the SC.... after my tranny went still hesitant on what to do... wish ya best of luck though...

 

Yeah - " ICd By Scalbert " stickers !!

 

Not True, but the sticker does add 10 HP.

 

welcome aboard....

now after 300 some miles check that tension on the Supercharger belt...

 

Good advice Bro !

Amazing how many more SC Brothers we have now !! I feel like a Pioneer !!

 

No stickers but I had thought about having the front cover plate engraved.

 

thas awesome man, hit the track soon

 

that is so damn sick man!!

i cant wait for comptech to get off their lazy ass's and work on my car!!!

i hope you dyno/track this beast!
good luck man!

 

Sweet!!! Sounds like a trouble free install. Congrats. Have fun with it.

 

Congrats!!! It's been a long time coming... Enjoy the new beast...
