Talked to them today and they said that they have everything for my kit except for the blower itself. The blowers will be in on Jan 13th.:xyxnervou

So my wait time for the kit will be 8-9 weeks if its really the 13th. I know there are a few people on here waiting as well and wanted to let you know.

ouch man i feel your pain. i didnt get a comptech but i had troubles receiving parts from the guy I bought my kit from. now its sitting here almost complete and I have to wait until after my 14day vacation to do anything with it

How is the Comptech SC as a daily driver? Any quirkyness about it that you had to adjust to? Does it run smooth & seamlessly? Thanks.

hey when did you order yours? cuz they told me 3-6 weeks when i ordered nov 6th. and obviously that hasnt happend. no tracking numbers and with holiday busyness i don't really expect it till january. hm. 13th huh. god thats ***.

My tech says he has to start rolling from a stop in 4th, it's so crazy fast; is this true? Maybe he meant daily driving, and I misunderstood. He got Brembos. He also said he can keep up pretty well with an STi (older). All true?

Also: so I've never driven a turbo'd Civic, in terms of lag, are we talking normal putt-putt, and then turbo kicks in at 4200rpm, whereas with the CT S/C you're seeing full band torque? How would this do for autocross (STX, obviously)?

Thanks!

 

[vtecmike1]

what?

 

[iomatic]

just some general questions, what can i clarify for you?

 

[vtecmike1]

it was all just gargeled together like a kid to excited to ask for a cookie. lol.

let me see if i can break this down. you don't start in 4th. on anything. lol. sc's are great for daily driving. he's got brakes. keeping up with an sti im guessing from a roll. maybe.
turbo lag is relative to the size of the turbo imo but in general until it is spooling the power is stock ( ish ) not exactly. then it will jump in. and the ctsc's power is linear increasing from start to finish all the way through the power band. kinda like an n/a graph.

was hoping to get it in dec. looks like i will have been waiting from nov 6th till jan 20th. or so.. :/ im guessing this is when they will be caught up on back orders. after that im betting it will be a 3-6 week manufacturing per batch.

What's wrong with the sti? Those things are fast! my bro has one with an intake and exhaust it runs low 12's (12.3 12.4) in the 1/4 mile

Yeah, I get that a lot in my typed communications
Thanks, Mike. That's why I'd rather go supercharged. Any thoughts on autox'ing a sc'd si?

He said something about having to put it in 4th; maybe he meant on surface streets? I'll get more clarification. So, even with a s/c it will just barely keep up with an STi? Stage 2 is better? So back to that sucky-Tein thread question, but are our cars not worth either autox'ing nor dragging? like, worst of both worlds, or am I not thinking this out right?

sorry to threadcrap, just wondering... i feel like I read "why bother FI this civic, may as well go STi, blah blah"... I surely love the daily-driveability of this vehicle bar none! it kicks in when you need it (at least for me) on the highway, passing grannies. Is that all it's good for?
