I got a few quick questions...
I got the comptech with tech2 (i think?) FMIC. Everything else is honda or comptech OEM.
1) Comptech insturctions says put 'bottled' water in the after cooler. By bottled, do they mean distilled? I finished my install last night and put in regular Arrowhead drinking water (was 5 am...no stores open). Is this ok? I will be adding a bottle of redline water wetter later today.
2) What size is the allen key for the aftercooler fill hole? I have 2 sets and nothing fits
3) Is there anything i should do to the spark plugs? run colder plugs? regap?
Thanks for the help!!!

-Don't sweat the water, Comptech just says bottled because they don't want you to put in water from some sewage plant or well with calcium deposits.
-One step colder is always a good choice when going F/I
I don't own a Comptech (Or an S2000 for that matter) so I can't help you with alan keys. Maybe metric vs. standard?

Hmm, my AC fill hole has a hex head bolt on it, not an allen head. But maybe they revised this in the newer kits. Are you talking about the blue anodized one? Comptech used specially imported spring water from the Himalayas when they installed mine .
(Kidding, they used a bottle of grocery store drinking water + water wetter).

Thanks for the replys.
my AC fill hole is a chrome plated allen key bolt... there is no blue annodized bolt
Anyone recommend a brand of colder plugs?

Its been a while since I did the aftercooler, but I thought the instructions said a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water wetter?
Denso Irdium plugs IK24 gapped to .032 or smaller, but be careful gapping, they break easy. or if you dont want to risk that and dont mind chaning the plugs more often, Copper plugs of the same temp.

thx revhi. Ill look into the iridiums. The comptech instructions say that antifreez may be added if you live in colder temps. otherwise, it says 50/50 water wetter and bottled water.
