OK. Obviously it's good practice to check the initial pressure is correct and to spec but shouldn't this be preset correctly to match the rest of the kit?

From what you were saying any problems with fuel pressure would manifest themselves at high fuel requirements i.e. high revs and W.O.T, where the raising rate would be increasing the fuel pressure(?), how does setting the initial rate help this?

Cheers

Mark if we search for this on the FI section of prime is a never ending story. Some people start with xx pressure and they are OK across the board, others end up lean, there are little tricks to get the RRFPR or FMU to get rich quicker and hold it a bit. I think the fuel pump and the injectors have a lot to say in this as well as the car compensating according to your driving style.

Just of interest. SoS doesn't have the kit on their website anymore.
Did you get the latest version? The Lysholm unit? The Autorotor was the one before.

I have the Autorotor kit.....New Autorotor unit replaces Lysholm/Whipple unit, provides 10-15% More Horsepower.
It looks nicer too!!

AR, thanks for the link, I had this in mind while writting my post and was interested in what blower Silver Surver received in the end of 2009.

Hi Guys,
I thought I would post a couple pictures of the new CT Supercharger we are in the final stages of testing for them. The kit is going back to the Lysholm brand of charger but the newer design (1600AX) from the original Comptech kits (1600AR). Yes, it is a little smaller than the Autorotor unit but will not have the pinging trouble that some of you have run into. In our testing on a 3.0 liter NSX that had an Autorotor unit at the same boost levels both blowers made the same HP and TQ. We will be testing it on a 3.2 liter very soon. New kits should be shipping early next year and it will have CARB #. Cheers, Shad

Hi Guys,
Yes, as Joe pointed out the changes/redesign of the Comptech/CT kit over the years has happened because of the supply of blowers. Getting blower from the guys in Sweden (both Lysholm & Autorotor) has been very difficult, just ask Whipple (original Lysholm importer).
