i'm about to boost my 2g with comptech's kit, and i have the stock and high boost pulleys. now i was told that it is necessary to get a tune if i go with the 6-7psi of the HBP. is this true? what would the effects be of just using the HBP w/o getting it tuned? also, maybe someone on here knows how much oil is needed in the gearbox where the jackrod meets the blower unit? is it supposed to be full? and yes, i do know that comptech says not to seperate that elbow, but it's too late now- it was already seperated when i bought the kit. any help is greatly appreciated.

 

you should get a tune with either pulley.

no tune, you'd be running really rich

 

The link below can help you with your S/C'er oil quantity question.

every1 is SCing...crazy...

 

lot of whiners in the 2G section i feel coming.







lol wut

 

well does it make any sense to put the HBP on? should I just stick with the stock pulley until i tune? or does it not make a difference either way?

 

tune it no matter what, do u want to risk blowing up your engine?

 

No tune or engine manage system such as greddy blue e-manage is needed if use ESM (electronic signal modified) from Comptech with normal boost. With HBP, ESM can/might handle fine, but tune and using e-manage such as greddy blue or ultimate e-manage is highly recommend.

 

still havent tuned mine yet

did u get gauges?...i did but they rnt in yet tho...prolly do that then tune...

 

Everybody is SC'ing cause the economy is bad.

 

I have the HBP on my S/C'd CLS-6. The S/C unit has 60K+ miles currently, 108K total on the car. All these miles have been driven in the Florida heat in mixed highway and stop and go traffic with the A/C blasting. Not one problem has arisen in regards to engine performance with the HBP. In my case, the car has performed flawlessly with the regular ESM, idle fuel pressure set at 35-40 psi utilizing 93 premium gas. Lucky, perhaps. YMMV

The car has given me many miles of reliability/enjoyment thus far.

Now, I must say that I am in my 40's and looked at this car, when I purchased it, as a long term investment. I drive it REASONABLY hard and maintain it very well.

If you can find a reputable tuner in your area and are worried that the HBP will blow your engine based on your driving style (frequent stop light to stop light, balls out runs) then yes you should tune. IMHO

Otherwise, put it on (HBP) and see how it goes.

i have a S/C'd CL with HBP with no tune. im running fine only thing i think im running a little rich though. i need to fine a reputable shop to tune mine. i heard the s/c'ers should get tuned but ive heard of people running them with HBP with no tune with no problems.

wouldnt getting tuned produce a little more hp? if so by how much?

 

what management would you use on a TL-S that is still automatic? Is there a Slushbox friendly standalone? or are we stuck with the either converting to 6spd or running the regular CT management system?

 

emanage blue is fine. im automatic.

 

thanks and sorry for thread jacking!

 

tune will yield more than just a little hp. looking at 20+ and more across the whole band. not to mention engine longevity

 

you guys have to remember that us here in Cali can only get gas with octane 91. Higher octane can get away with no tune but it is highly recommend to tune with 91 octane. Sure, car can run fine with HBP and no tune, but why take the risk?

 

 

sounds good. so being new to this, how does one go about locating a reputable tuner? is it the "knows a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy" thing? please say no

 

i would ask around to find out certian shops in the areas rep.

 

My tranny took a dump on me after 1 month of HBP, but this cannot be pointed directly to the HBP alone... Maybe just a coincidence. Running around untuned, was goin a little rich 10-11s
