hi everyone, i did a quick search and couldn't find what i need. here's the story:

i bought a used comptech supercharger kit with aftercooler. it's been installed, with headers, exhaust, and throttle body on the car. once the install was complete, took out for a test run and it made no power, lots of black smoke, really loud backfire, and shot flames. after that, i got a fuel pressure gauge, and it read 38 psi, so i bumped it up to 45. it runs a little bit better, but not great. this is a bolt on kit, and it should run fine stock, with no tune, and that's all i want right now. any ideas how to make this run better?

thanks everyone

 

this may sound stupid, but you do have the little blackbox that came with it right?

 

lol this may be a stupid answer. are you talking about the esm box? i do have it....its just not installed cause i thought you only run that on high boost....please correct me if i'm wrong

 

Install it!!!
you need that to run it lol.

 

fml....thanks kenny

 

hahaha yea dude. blackbox is for low boost (anything lower than 8psi)

 

Erm.. running boost with zero ecu changes? Hope you didn't drive it much :S

 

Yikes...

 

no, i only drove maybe 20 km on it? so should hooking up the box fix the problems? thanks everyone!

 

haha damn, hopefully everything will be ok once you hook the blackbox up.

btw, Post pix of your car!!
