the car is finished, car runs great, just working on the stereo right now

Elegant TYPE S

iTrader: (2)

So its tuned? If so how? I thought that's what the whole commotion was all about in here... that all you guys did was throw in a blower into a TYPE S with no additional tuning?

subsonicman

We had a local shop tweek the CT Advanced control module, by that I mean, they programmed a slightly longer injector pulse length, which was really an Idea that came from CT Engineering. So, If you were to order a kit direct from them, you could maybe get them to do it.

Other Then That, all we did was bolt a TL supercharger to the Type S motor, with very little modification

Since I don't want to go through 19 pages and it seems like a bitch searching for the anwser, Supposidly why wouldn't the CTSC fit on a TL-S?

ummm it does, read the post above yours.

so now that it is "TUNED" what kinda power is this beast making? how much boost are you running? how much more power is it making than the TL-P superchargered?

After all the test are done and the car is fully ready, how do u think it will compete with the new turbo kit for the TL3g????

subsonicman

IS THERE A TURBO KIT? OR IS EVERYTHING STILL CUSTOM?

EITHER WAY, A TURBO KIT IS MORE CAPABLE OF PUTTING UP BIGGER BOOST NUMBERS, IN MY OPINION, ANYTHING MORE THEN 6 POUNDS WILL BLOW A STOCK MOTOR, BUT hp PER $ I FEEL THE SUPERCHARGED CAR IS MORE COST EFFECTIVE. THE ECU TUNING NEEDED TO PROPERLY RUN A TURBO KIT ON WILL COST A FEW THOUSAND, THE ENGINE UPGRADES NEEDED RUN BIG BOOST WILL COST A FEW MORE THOUSAND.

IF YOU COMPARE 5 POUNDS TO 5 POUNDS OF BOOST, I THINK THE SUPERCHARGED TYPE S STILL PUTS UP A SLIGHTLY LARGER hp #, AND STILL WINS 70% OF THE STRAIGHT LINE RACES. YOU WILL GET BETTER TRACTION IN A PROPERLY SIZED TURBO CAR (ie YOU ARE USUALLY ROLLING WHEN YOU HIT BOOST) WHERE A SUPERSHARGER STARTS MAKING POWER RIGHT AWAY.

IN SHORT, I THINK A SUPERCHARGER IS CHEAPER, AND WAY MORE DAILY DRIVABLE THEN A TURBO.

A TURBO IS WAY MORE CAPABLE OF MAKING GIANT hp #'S I THINK IF MONEY WAS NO OBJECT, YOU COULD SEE 6-700 hp TL'S

Oh Chris, you are still alive? Hmmmm I didn't know since you never showed up to the Sox game Sat and you never called me or text me to tell me you weren't coming.....
And about your friend Sean, yea, apparently his phone is broken, or he is avoiding me.
What's up with you guys lately? You are both rude as hell!!

kneedragger87

fixed

subsonicman

i told you my car overheated, and had me stuck in providence, putting a f'ing water pump in sitting in a parking lot. Sean is to busy for me too

CarrieLynn

iTrader: (2)

yea well I wish you would have told me you weren't going to make it but oh well, no big deal, shit happens, I am over it, it's cool.

subsonicman

but i did text you, and told you i was stuck in providence, and you replied with

"yea traffic sucked?"WTF was that about

any way, are you going to HIN in jersey

CarrieLynn

iTrader: (2)

hahahahah, I guess I thought you were stuck in traffic like I was. I didn't realize that meant you were not coming. Oh well, don't worry about it, no big deal.

And no I am not going to HIN, there is a CT meet I will be going to on Sat. I would have LOVED to go to HIN but it is kinda far and I am not gonna drive to Jersey by myself. Sean and I talked about going awhile ago and us all driving together since it was so far. After the location got changed though he said he didn't know if he was going or not and since he is avoiding me I never asked him about it again, I have other plans anyway.
Why are you going?

subsonicman

well, you could fallow me and the wife

CarrieLynn

iTrader: (2)

I honestly would LOVE to but I already made other plans. Please take some pics for me though......I missed HIN Boston this year too

^^^ what do those last 7-8 post have anything to do with a blown type-s =\

thread seems kinda pointless now =\

pot and kettle scenario maybe?

however. i still was wondering abuot what i asked earlier. about the car bouncing off the rev limiter? or has that guy never stepped inside the car?

CarrieLynn

iTrader: (2)

thanks, the first part of your post proves my point that nobody has anything nice to say in this thread anymore.

dr_brains510

So why is this thread still open?

kneedragger87

This thread has become nothing more than a chat room. It should be moved to Ramblings.

CarrieLynn

iTrader: (2)

I don't know and I really don't care anymore. I used to care...........

subsonicman

what are you asking about the car bouncing off the rev limiter? I think we are talking about when you turn the VSA off, and its damp out, you can not, and will not get traction, and how the VSA is best left on period in the type S, because it will just sit there and wheel hop

subsonicman

this thread used to fun until all the hates on this forum started talking s$%t, and lost the focus on the project, which is also finished, the car has many boosted miles on, and is problem free, KNOCK ON WOOD>

MobTownTL

iTrader: (1)

^^^ what was he talking about then.

6spdtl-s

iTrader: (1)

dude are you not getting it???

VSA off + wet roads + 320whp fwd = massive wheel spin

your engine will rev up to redline before you know it and youll probably bounce of the rev limiter if you are trying to push the car.

i've asked twice in here, but not sure if my questions were answered... dont feel like searching 19+ pages


For PHYSICAL installation... did the kit line up, and bolt on 100% ?? Did you have to make any custom brackets ? i.e., the trans mount ??

Thanks guys!!

iTrader: (1)

^blackura, fyi i think nva-av6 is in the process of building a S/C using a m90. might want to hold out for that

kneedragger87

^ Nice. That's what this kit really needs. Comptech should've used the M90 in the first place, I guess reliability was an issue seeing how the compression ration on the j32a3 is 11:1.

6spdtl-s

iTrader: (1)

I believe there were custom brackets fabbed up for this

BLACKURA_NY

iTrader: (6)

M90 =

Cobalt SS, Early 90's Bonnevilles and Miatas use the M62

Mustangs, T-Birds & Jags all use the M90

MobTownTL

iTrader: (1)

^^^ any quick estimate on what an m90 will put down for our cars at maybe the same boost as the ct sc?

greco9885

iTrader: (1)

i thought the SS was turbo'd?

BLACKURA_NY

iTrader: (6)

^ nah... 2.0L I-4 with an M62 S/C with.. you ready for this? STOCK = 12-15lbs of boost

greco9885

iTrader: (1)

thats psycho, that kinda sucks though, since you probably cant turn it up THAT much more.

n3o

iTrader: (2)

My RSX-S ran 9psi on a JRSC M62 kit and made more WHP than a Cobalt....epic win.

Rick_TL-S

The Cobalt SS was originally supercharged. I believe they had supercharged under their Cobalt badge. Now-a-days, they're turbo'd & put up more of a fight.

Danielsc400

Final numbers on the "SC'ed TL-S"?

dr_brains510

^^^ yeah I'm curious as well. After hearing about the 400+ whp from the turbo kit on a base TL, I want to compare it to the s/c TLS numbers.

sooo...much....reading.
never saw this thread till now. very interesting ...and dramatic.

One thing no one ever mentioned (maybe because of the ultra-smooth power curves). The "common cold" with the S/C'd community; Any SURGING? The hondata reflash cures it, but there's only a small handfull of us with it. Could this pulse adjustment on the ACM have something to do with the lack of surging or perhaps it's just the low boost pressure that makes it very difficult to notice?

Usmaan, post a link please! M90 FTW! You get that clutch taken care of?
