Well, that's not exactly true. If you mess with compression rations by making a super powerful all motor car, it will not respond well to forced induction. A good example would be the Integras. The non-VTEC LS motor actaully responds better with a turbo than a Integra Type R motor.

 

Lice...it's ratios. And what in God's name is your point? Are you saying the S2000 doesn't respond well to increase compression? Cuz there are 300hp NA F20C's out there...it's just quite a bit more difficult and costly to do than doing it with FI (so much so that virtually all of them are racing motors).

 

Uh... I was responding to the post where Nobody said if you supercharge an already JDM'd car (high horsepower NA motor) you would get something extremely fast... I disagreed and offered an explanation why. Get it?

 

Oh don't get me wrong, I love Comptech stuff. I just meant that's why they don't get the credit over in Japan. I have no doubts in their abilities as a tuner.

 

Comptech set their car up in 00-01 it made the magazine circuit at the time and fell into the background. The company has done little to nothing to advance the car in the following years.

Why would people report on something that is so well established and hasn't changed significantly.

The Japanese tuners continue to tweak their cars and evolve their products. If Comptech kept making new cars with newly developed parts they would be more present in the American magazines.

 

JDM is the fad for the moment. That's why Comptech has not received quite as much attention. The other reason is that many of the "JDM" companies either focus exclusively on the S2000 or just a handful of cars. In stark contrast, look at Mugen and Comptech, they have products for a much larger range of Honda cars. Comptech probably has better things to worry about than what s2ki has to think as I'm sure their superchargers and other tidbits are still selling well among other S2k'ers and other Honda owners. That's probably Mugen sentiment as well I would suspect. As long as Comptech is selling well in the US, they're probably not too devastated that the common person in Tokyo have never heard of them.

 

i believe the main difference here is the price tag and of course the jdm bling factor. j's and amuse perform so well because of how much money they dumped into their cars. J's inake: 800, headers 1500, exhaust, 2500 for suspension, not to mention all the aero kits and the carbon parts, along with the n/a stroker kit that makes it almost 300hp n/a. the comptech doesnt perform anywhere near it because its an overall more affordable package. comptech blower 5000, exhaust 1000. and almost a stock bodied s2000 with no weight reduction.

the amount of work put into comptech compared to j's and amuse's are too far apart. jdm tuners are just more "intense" in that manner. saying that the comptech car is f/i and that the fact it is f/i doesn't put the cars in the same league is pretty ridiculous. those 2.4 liter stroker kits make their cars almost 300hp n/a compared to a s/c'ed comptech s2000.

for the price, i'd go comptech over all the jdm stuff anyday just cus i won't be able to afford anything like that, or dump that much money into my car. bang for the buck im sure comptech takes the cake. but if you have money for the crazy stroker kits, suspension, weight reduction, suspension, go jdm.

iono if im making sense LOL screw it.

 

I like the CT car, thus the reason I have many of their parts on my S.

 

What are you talking about?

Comptech is inexpensive? pfff...

Click on the link by the picture that says "video" (even though the pic is of a Honda Passport). You can watch the review. And check out the list of parts at the bottom of the page...money!

 

WOA. 60k for comptech car.... ill retract my statement. never thought it would be that much, thanks for the correction but i know for sure amuse and j's car still costs more. if i can find the info...
