Hello All:

I saw a post a few days ago about Comptech going out of business. As some of you know, I have wanted to have their Supercharger installed on my 04TL. I called them this morning, they had no more in stock and they confirmed their going out of business.

They will be missed.

I was able to locate and purchase, what may be the last Comptech Supercharger for a (auto) 04TL on the planet. It ships today from San Diego.

Are they any Acura dealers in NorCal that will install this. I have checked Oakland and Sacramento, they both said they could no longer installed them.

Pleasanton wants 2x what SD has offered. It look like I will drive to SD next week for the install.

Any ideas?

Tim

 

Hi. So your going to have your supercharger installed in SD? If so I can save you money on install. C&C auto in the city of walnut in southern california has installed several of our comptech superchargers. Install will be alot cheaper.
pm for the info.

 

i'm selling mine.. could have saved you some good money

 

AHH!!! I'M LOOKING FOR ONE!!! unfortunately, i'm up here in seattle, washington and NONE of the dealers have any comptech s/cs left! how much sir?!

thanks,
eric

when'd you buy it? condition? thanks a lot...! me = very interested

 

Hello All:

Comptech SC gets installed Monday in Escondido, CA at the Acura dealer. Then it's off to Hondata for a ECU flash upgrade.

I will get Dyno before and after the Flash to see the difference.

I will post the results.

Stay "tuned."

Tim

 

Can't wait to see the results!!

 

Tim,
talk to Hondata before you post dynos/info on this board.
As of right now I was told not to post info of what is going on.
I think dynos might be ok.

 

Hello List:

All I can say is WOW.. The Comptech SC is installed. I had it done at Acura of Escondido today, who has installed several within the past few years. They gave me a "loaner" at No-charge and they provide a one year warranty on parts and labor. This was the right thing to do.

While I was at the Dealership, one of their salesman called a friend/customer, who has an 05TL Auto to which he added a Comptech SC about 1 year ago. He came to the dealership and let me drive his car and for the first time I heard the SOUND...

It's like a Jet engine when the SC kicks in.

I had a TRD Super Charger installed on a 1996 Avalon several years ago and it did not have this GREAT Sound...

Comptech Rocks..

I go to the Dyno place on Wednesday and I will report the numbers..

Stay "tuned"

Tim

 

Right on! Glad to see the install went swell and you're happy with the product.

I suppose Hondata is still working on the reflash which is good. Tell them we said thanks!

If you like the sound of the blower, you should consider customizing a cold air intake for the puppy. A lot of the guys have made their own and all have loved the results. It will amplify the whine by 200%.

 

Hello:

Does a different intake increase performance or just the sound?

I would be at a loss to make anything myself or even install it for that matter. I am more of a "White Shirt" guy. Plus, I am OLD...58 on the 19th of this month.

But I know several folks that are part of the Bay Area Group that may be able to assist.

Thanks,

Tim

 

i dont think that they make an after market intake manifolds for our TLs. extrude honing is the next best thing.

ohhh you meant the air intake.
yes a Cold Air Intake [CAI] will net hp but be careful as the dealer does not like these AND if you go over a large puddle you can hydro lock the engine.

do you have a digital video camera?

 

Hello:

I understand..

And yes I will take pictures when I get back home..

Tim

 

I'm interested on your blower forsale. email me at newnode@mac.com

 

Tim,
Happy early birthday. That's one nice birthday gift for yourself. Looking forward to the dyno results.

 

congrats on your new blower dude!

like acuratein said get a new intake, it should get you a few more puppies and you'll just love the sound, trust me.

that is awesome that the dealership is giving you a warranty on the install...just curious how much did they charge you?

 

Hello:

Charge was $840.00 labor + battery, fluids and tax = total $1014.52

I am pleased with the customer service from this company.

Cost of the SC was $4843.36

Tim

 

i paid about $700 wasnt done at a dealer but then i also had a belt tensioner changed, my aem wide band guage & boost guage installed, battery relocation done and some other things

 

Hello:

Sounds like a wonderful deal. Hope you are happy with your install.

No regrets here either.

I love the SOUND.

Tim

 

i wanted to get it done at the dealer but the dealer i went to said the didnt install them and i kept callin another one and was neva able to get in contact with them
i love it too...next on the list is that intake upgrade

 

Hello:

If you can provide info on the "intake upgrade" that would be great.

Enjoy,

Tim

this was a parts list from accuratein's post a while back..it should give u an idea of what u might need

 

cant wait for the pics should be awesome....

Good luck with the SC, hope someone has parts available if you need them in the future

that is why i passed on getting one

good luck

desper

 

for what year?

 

why is comptech going out of business?

 

Hello:

I called Comptech before I ordered the SC and I was told "business was not doing well." The guy from Comptech told me "folks just don't want to pay the price for their stuff."

The dealer in SD told me he thought he was a "political" thing. Either reason or others, their gone.

As far parts, since Comptech did not make any of their stuff, they were all outsourced, parts are available.

Add to this, that their stuff has always been solid, I'm not worried.

Tim

 

04-06

 

since they are going out of business how much will they let the SCs go?

 

Hello:

Sold by Acura Dealer..

$4843.36 included tax and shipping

Tim

 

Hello All:

Dyno results are in:

306.9 WHP
259.6 Torque

I am pleased.

Tim

 

Those are great numbers for an AT.

 

Shawn Church from Church Automotive Tuning said it was the "strongest engine" he has ever seen on this type of car.

I just got lucky... And I'm OK with luck.

Tim

 

nice

 

Nice numbers Tim. And that's at standard boost?

 

Hello:

Yes this is standard boost. I think 4 lbs.

I will order the high boost pulley on Friday, just in case Hondata updates their re-flash program to except 91oct gas.

I can not see myself looking for 100oct fuel..

Tim

 

Or paying for 100 octane. Around here its about 5 a gallon. What kind of dyno does Church use?

 

Hello:

He has several Dynapack chassis dyno's. He used the 2WD 4000 model on my car.

Tim

 

Those usually read a little higher than a dynojet. Still nice numbers though.
