Talked to Comptech

I asked them if the older gen TL's or CL's high boost pulley would fit our car. He told me he didnt know. How helpfull. It wasnt shad, so I dont know if I talked to the right person. He said he wasnt sure if it would work because of the ACM being programmed at certain specs. If anyone knows if it would fit let me know. They dont even have them listed on their site for sale. But in the other forums they seem to find them. If worst comes to worst I will have one made.

The thing about the HBP is that you need bigger injectors and a fuel pump. we may be able to get away with just the methanol injector, but if you think abou it, not all of the cylinders are going to get the same amount of fuel/octane since it's delivered through the intake.

just like a nitrous kit. normal nitrous kits are fed through the intake and do not get evenly distributed to the cylinders which is why it is not as efficient as direct port nitrous. which each cylinder gets the correct amount of N2O.

I really hope that someone will come out with some kind of fuel management system for our ECU. That way we can tune it to give the exact fuel it needs... surging should be gone and we should gain more power.

also, I wouldn't get a bigger crank pulley, i'd leave it stock sized, but light wieght. do all the boost upgrading on the supercharger pulley.


btw...
Do you loose traction when you floor the car from the start? I used to with my UR crank pulley. but i can't seem to do it with the blower... it's better than yesterday, but still pretty sluggish before 4k RPMs.
and even with my gear in L i can't seem to hit redline. still haven't lost the traction that you guys have been having.. making me think that i'm not getting the power that you guys are.

lol, we'll have to see, pop it on a dyno soon

Would piggy back system like the Greddy E-manage be able to control the ECU and fine tune the fuel managment?

Maybe someone should start developing an intercooler or aftercooler.....=D

Na I dont lose traction either. The 5AT has longer gears. I also have Drag Radials on the fronts too. I dont think your 19" rims help either. I think it is sluggish off the line now because we are picking up 68psi of trq at 2k, so the torque converter is taking a lot of the abuse. We need a better TC, higher stall. Or a 6sp swap.

It just wierd that I COULD loose traction by flooring it from a dead stop without the supercharger, but once i put it on, i couldn't do it anymore.

When i talked to Shad at SEMA IAS he told me took look out for a high boost pulley in the future.

They havent decided which method to flash the ACM...

1) send it overnight to Comptech
2) Comptech sends a new ACM with the high boost pulley

Ah. I missed the first line.. "future".

I say option 2, but the customer pays a deposit in case he disapears and doesnt send the ACM back. Then the money is returned. Im sure there will be a line though. Why not go with both options?

Why not? I hear ya, Why not make these available now? Hey Accuratein I just finished doing the CAI mod that you did. I had to find a temporary elbow at the hardware store till I find one to fit. Ill find one today. But it works good, just looks a little shady. Sound of the blower is awesome, the whistle.

That could be a very good thing, now that comptech will have some competition. Maybe his company can get some things done quicker. Doing something for our car can be a start for him to bring in some $$$$$.
