hey guys just keeping you updated,i now have 35,000 miles on supercharger and 22,000 on comptech clutch and it still feels like day one,and yes its on a 6speedstill lovin balls to the wall acceleration and smokin those g35s and 350z.well hope everyone is doing well on the board including smitty,scalbert,allmotor,sgmotoring,brad well you left us lol .Im now saving up for the scalbert kit

 

Thanks for the update. I've got about 4k on my S/C, but no CT clutch installed yet.

 

oh yeah

 

i'd love to do the flywheel/clutch upgrade. All that weight lost at the crank.....

 

Excellent Eric...

Boy do you rack up the miles...

 

fckn awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The final mod to complete the package

Just need to change turbo to super.

 

^^^ haha thats funny

 

Good news No probs here either, knock on wood

 

Hey Red Rider, you have an auto, right? How many miles have you put on the auto (post-supercharger)? Just curious.

 

im going to pull the plugs soon as the denso iridium ik 22 that come with the kit only have a 30,000 run.i will post pics of the plugs when i pull them but it sucks i have to pull the blower to change them but i love that blower whine so its worth every penny.i also spoke to shad and at 80,000 miles you should change the bearings and oil at least thats what they say.and ill have a brand new blower again.

 

Im going to get the greddy emanage and intercooler and pulley when steve is done testing.but i also am looking for heavy duty valve springs and i have to research where to get them.it would be very nice to have a 400whp sleeper rolling down the highway waiting for some easy pray

 

Eric finally surfaces.... thanks for coming up for air and giving an update..

Glad all is well....

Did you get new tires yet?...because I know you been smoking them off...!!!...

 

A little over 10,000 miles on the 5AT and all is well 2nd and 3rd gear ROCK !!!

 

Great!!! Good luck in the future, thanks

 

i never heard of a clutch upgrade on an auto, so i'm glad you had a 6speed when you bought the clutch

 

where did you get the clutch installed? and when you did, did you have to tell the shop any special instructions or did they just take the kit and just intuitively know what to do automatically.

I heard of other board members getting their comptech clutch and actual acura dealerships not installing them correctly or that the clutch package wasn't right.

 

no slips, no care.

 

eric you queerbait... why don't you post more often.????


You know your lust for speed is always appreciated by other addicts here...

Unless you have a wife you have no excuses for leaving us for so long... :'(

no excuses...

I do commend you and also dammn you to hell for being a lurker... :P

 

Open mouth... Insert foot 1 month later!!... poor Eric. , I feel bad for you.


Another CT clutch BITES the DUST!!!


Smitty

 

Is that a definite?

 

you talked to him eh? what a shame

 

I'll let Eric respond... but he is smart enough not to go through all the crap again so he is going back to the Stock clutch set-up...

I do not blame him for going back to Stock.. who wants that headache of replacing your clutch!!... hope he gets some money back out of Comptech...

 

that sucks i was looking forward to doing a flywheel swap and clutch swap.

 

there's still some HOPE left

 

lucky 6 speeders, like the person above said, there isnt a auto tranny upgrade is there?

 

Too bad on the Comptech. Is this usual with the 6speed? Especially Comptech?????

pimpscls:
I do have the rebuilt auto. I'm hoping that after next weeks pulley install that I'll be able to get some 1/4 + dyno #s.

 

hey guys the clutch does not slip in any gears just between fast shifts.maybe its starting to go? ill pull it next week to inspect it.ill take pics and well go from there.if its burnt its my own falt.I mean how long is a racing clutch supposed to last?i have alot of miles on it.ill keep you updated.

 

Do you race the car all the time?

 

Wow you must baby your car. I have 10K on my Supercharged. Gone throught 4 S/C belts, 2nd S/C pulley, 2nd FPR, 2 sets of front tires, 2nd engine, 2nd set of spark plugs(I damaged the first set when I blew up the engine ) 2 A/C belt tensioners, 2 drive belts and other little things . Like you, I have to save up for Scalbert e-manage so I can blow up more stuff in my car.

 

Ok, I have an automatic TL-S 03 with the supercharger, and guess what? No tranny problems even after 7k miles .

 

Holy Crap !!!

I'm agressive as hell with no probs, then again i thought i was agressive

 

well the clutch is fine i got nervous but im ok holy s$#t im still on my original supercharger belt but i did pull the plugs at 30,000 miles because it was time another year and a half ill be changing the oil in the blower

 

how is the clutch fine if you got to granny shift it????

 

im not granny shifting it just got better maybe because of that one day where i really heated up the clutch in traffic.im ready to take you on smitty

 

Wow... Remind your friends not to let you drive their cars. You should get a job as a test driver for Acura or Honda. You seem to have a talent for breaking stuff.

I've got 6k on the S/C and am still running with the original belt; but I drive like an old lady I guess.

 

Old lady? Yeah right .

 

Hey, that was exactly what I told Honda of North America. If I was their test driver, I would have broken all of their 5spd auto trannies. They would then know that there was a flaw in their trans design. That would have saved them millions in trans warranty. I just installed the 5th S/C belt tonight. I think my aftermarket S/C pulley is cutting up my belt. Damn aftermarket company they just can't make anything perfect.

 

Good news, and I'll be interested to see what those plugs look like.
