Unless you have some sort of engine management in addition to the blower, my guess would be somewhere in the 280s at the wheels. As Chaz said, if you really want to know, take it the dyno.

As for the tires, I'd give Jim a call at TireRack. He's never steered me wrong (pun intended).

 

[QUOTE=nastinupe1,Oct 21 2006, 01:27 PM] I am purchasing the car for $25,000 even and finalizing everything on Wednesday.

 

Welcome back to the dark side.

 

Why so low. And I do think think that there's some type of engine management system. There's a digital read out that hooked up and is showing the psi and other stuff. It's working and reading out, I just don't know what all it does. I'm going to have to take the car to a shop that works on these things and pull out a note book and take some notes. I really know nothing about EMS's or SC's or any of that stuff. I have always been a stock guy so this is new for me.

It feels kind of backwards going into a car like this. The people at the Honda dealership told me that the car's mods were done right and very professionally, however, I just want to know what's all in there and what I need to do to take care of it properly. I will just have to write down everything and bring it back here. I definately don't want to mess my baby up.

 

1) Unfortunatelly the parts were used so there's no warranty on the transmission work, but it was done by the Honda dealership and I read the notes in the computer on it. The parts were geninue Honda parts, but they just were used. The parts were checked over by the Honda service department before installation and they checked out so I am assuming that they should be ok.

2) I just wish that the car had a clean title thats all. But I am going to get her totally repainted in a year or so and take care of the scratches and dings all in one swoop.

 

That's low?? Nasti, thats serious HP, man!

Here's the thing... Superchargers like your Comptech are designed for the S to provide significant (but not outrageous) gains. What I've read about the Comptech is that it provides more power in places where the S is already strong -- you don't gain a lot of tq down low.

Ultimately, you can start mucking with the pulleys and the fuel injection system to push more air and fuel into the engine, but you really need to know what you're doing to tune your engine management to make this stuff work well. As it stands, Comptech has done most of the work for you with their kit that you're buying installed.

Anyway, I wish you the best. If you really want serious horsepower, you need to find a tuner with a dyno who will help you achieve your goals.

Personally, I've seen plenty of folks who are never satisfied. My advice to you is figure out what you want to improve after you get used to the car and focus on that.

Good luck!

 

Only low compared to what I keep reading about 310 to 330 hp with comptech SC. When I drove the car, it "felt" great. I came from an M3 so I had my power trip already. And my TL is torquey as well. I just wanted more power and the SC is enough for me. I have no plans to do any additional performance modifications... well maybe changing the gearing, but that's about it.

 

It's going to be hard to get over 300 hp with a conservative tune and the stock injectors. They're pretty much at duty cycle just with the blower.

But then again, you may already have different injectors.

 

Yea, I'm going to have to take this car in in a couple of weeks and have it checked out. I really don't know what all they did to it.

In fact, let me tell you guys the story on how I came about this excellent deal. I saw the ad and called the guy to come and look at the car. I went by the house and he told me that it was his twenty something son's car. His son got a credit card in his father's name and charged all of the goodies on this car on it. His father found out and took the car from him and sold it as punishment.

That's crazy! My dad would have killed me if I ran up over $10,000 in mod on HIS credit card that he didn't know existed.

Does anyone one know of a good performance shop in the Atlanta area (North if possible) that I can take my car to and get it checked out?
