stage 2 comptech release info!!

[civicsifg2]

how can you hate drivability at 270 whp? not possible

[SpeedDemon]

When the car stalls, when going to full stops is an issue, etc.
Nothing about the power.

You'll understand when you do it.

I dont want to do it. Hince the reason i asked the question. I dont recall complex ever having that problem.

Of course he had that problem, thats why he took it back to the shop to get it tuned up better last i read. But I doubt its running 100%. Ive had my share with piggybacks, and car never runs 100% on our cars for some reason, I think it has something to do with the drive by wire, i dont remmber what i was told.

well without a tune i would expect that. but with a good tune it should not do that right?

[SpeedDemon]

i guess you didnt understand me. read it again.

why do you think so many greddy kits are being sold.

you changed your post while i was clicking on it. I see more comptech kits than greddy. Plus most people like to hear bov's anyways.

the s/c doesn't have the same crappy driveability as the turbo. I doubt the fic would make it worse on the s/c unless the tuner didn't know what he was doing. I wouldn't go with that either if it were me.

even though i know I can get a piggyback like aem fic and smaller pulley and put it in the car, I rather not, cause ive been boosted with another piggyback before with a different setup and the car isnt the same.
Im sure complex loves the power that hes getting, but is hating the drivablity.

My car's drive-ability is fine. It's not 100%, but I'd say it's somewhere around 97%. My car doesn't stall. The only complaints I have are the bouncy idle, and it takes a few more cranks to start it. These are most likely due to having such big injectors. Even with those small issues I could confidently drive the car across the country again.

I've only had my car at the tuner's once. He couldn't get it to run properly the first day, because the injectors weren't seated properly, and there was a ripped o-ring. The next day he had it tuned, and told me if I wanted he could spend some more time on it to tune out a small hump around the VTEC changeover. I declined because the little hump was always there, and isn't an issue for me. Besides, I do intend on swapping to the 3" pulley soon, so it will likely need another round of tuning.

thats what i thought. Thanks complex for stopping by. Your car is what i want mine to be. I just gotta do stage 2 now.

What are the pulley-to-boost ratios?

[whipsnap]

Pulley Size PSI
PB 3.3" 9 PSI
PB 3.1" 10.5 PSI

From the pulley boys site, but i'm not sure that is accurate because the 02-04 RSX came with a different size crank pulley than the 05-06 I think... don't quote me because i'm at work and havent had time to confirm

[COMplex]

Since I'm at high altitude it's hard to say for sure what it will make at lower altitudes...

When I had the original 3.6" my car made 4psi
With the 3.2" my car maxes at 6psi (I've seen spikes to 7 when it's under 55°F outside/raining)

There are some people at sea level that see 5-6psi with the 3.6" pulley.

I'm estimating that the 3.0 will make 7-9psi for me.

Why does it spike? What gauges are you running? Are there any good Apillars w/ a single or dual gauge setup? I would like to run defi gauges.
Also, I'm wanting to get a pulley that only gets around 7psi. I don't wanna go more boost than that b/c it's supposed to decrease the life of your motor w/o an aftercooler.

[whipsnap]

you can run Meth Injection if you are that worried about it

[spets]

it spikes because a blower has a constant pressure ratio. when it is cold/raining outside, the air is denser... so you'll get higher boost out of it. blowers make less psi at altitude than at sea level because there is no wastegate than can close later to let more boost build.

[Zarh]

and aftercooler would be nice...

Something else I don't know jack about. Sounds expensive along with being a pita.

[whipsnap]

you can pick up the Snow system for around $275. You really should read up on them they are pretty interesting and easy to install.

[GlxyGry06Si]

dont you have to refill it as often as nitrous. I dont want to havve something that i have to replace. I got the s/c because it will always be working and will never need a recharge or refill. i heard meth injection really works tho.
