Comptech Supercharge fitted! (pictures heavy!)

[DixcelBrake]

We are proud to announce we have successfully fitted the CTSC kit to one of our customer's car.

Silver Surfer have asked if we can get his NSX charged back in December 2009, he came down to our shop and check out what we could possibly done to his car and got the CTSC kit ordered.

CT-engineering originally quoted us 4 weeks for the kits to gets here but due to the delay caused by the snow all over the world, it ended up took them 8 weeks to get the kit to us.

So anyway to cut the story short here is the whole process -

First we got the car up to check the overall condition, we performed a leakdown test, injectors check up and cleaning and general check up to make sure the engine is still in good condition to take up the extra power -



He also asked if we can get his clutch done at the same time with upgrade Jun lightweight flywheel -

Dudes....I have taken the first step in the SC NSX world and thought I share my first impression of this pricy outlay.
I have done 60miles of mixed driving today.
The most noticable thing in the increase in power is as Markc has indicated, is the increase in Torque as the car seems to accelerate in any gear from 1.5K onwards. This suits me fine being a lazy gear shifter and on the motorway, overtaking in 5th (top gear) from 60+mph is now so much easier without the need to downshift. The acceleration is very linear and the down side is that there is not much noticable VTEC kick!
The noise has also changed expectedly as I am now noticing very little VTEC induction noise and more of the SC whine which I am use to from my other 3 SC/turbo cars. The bark from the Larini exhaust coupled with the SC whine does make it interesting....not quite sure which I like best! Through Dartford tunnel, the sound was fantastico!!! (had my window down and stuck it into 3rd gear!). I will let Paul (Senninha) chip in as I am slightly tone deaf so an alternative opinion would be helpful.
The lightened flywheel does indeed allow the revs to shoot up with the slightest of throttle but drops like stone when I change gears. This meant I need to let the clutch up quicker to catch the revs...( I will need to learn to do Heel-Toe!)
Generally with the incease torque, I am needing to press the throttle pedal less hard and not as long so hopefully it will not do the consumption figures an injustice,,,I will let you know how much mileage I will get out of this full tank in due course.

Conclusion...Am I happy..So far
I am due to be in NW London way (Near ACE Cafe) next week so be more than happy to meet up with any current owners for them to hear/feel/see the SC in action for themselves so PM me if interested.

Cheers

I will report in more detail 2mrow after we've been out for a run ...hopefully the roads will be clear and dry(ish) so we can stretch the SC legs.

We will share wth all the real world evaluation as the 3.0SC takes on the 3.2NA

Surely not much in it between lighter 300hp 3.2 and a 365hp 3.0. I'll be watching with interest to see the results.

It's a big shame we do not have before and after figures for SS's car. Ideally standard, with exhaust etc and then with exhaust etc and SC would be good. We don't know how many horses the SC install has actually unleashed as some 3.0's have a fair few hp less than others.

Early NSX should be 270bhp when its new but with the engine with that many mileage on you should be looking at around 260bhp with stock exhaust and intake.

For the next one if customer request we can put it on before and after.
