Comptech Supercharger Install























So I started the install Saturday and took off the stock header and manifold. I put the new manifold on which the bottom right bolt was a bitch to get to and I ended up breaking a bolt in the head. I had to take everything apart and luckily their was some thread sticking out so I used a vice grip to get it out. Also I was missing some bolts so I ran to Home depot but they didn't have it so I went to Ace hardware but the one I normally go to was out of business so I had to go to a different. The blower went on next but the damn AC line was in the way because I didn't get the AC spacer. If the had the spacer anyways I would have to drain my ac and recharge it which would have cost $80. I managed to loosen up the pulley then put on the blower and then tightened the line. Then I installed the idler and tensioner pulley assembly and the rest of the pulley assembly. The backseat came off to get to the fuel pump assembly to reach the fuel pressure regulator. Once I got the fuel pressure regulator I didn't have the tool to crush the FPR so now I'm on hold until I call Comptech tomorrow. I also wanted to ask them about the bypass valve location and how the butterfly should look without vacuum. The project is on delay now but I'm still need 2 bolts for the inlet for the throttle body assembly and waiting on my Injen cold air intake to arrive. When that's all done I will put my fuel pump assemble together put my back seat in or keep them out for weight reduction. The connect the wire harness on my fuel rail, ground it, connect the MAP, TPS, and MAF sensor back on once I put my new intake on when it arrives. And to make my engine bay look clean install the carbon fiber fuel rail cover he he :) Lastly hook up my Hondata to the 16pin data link connector and to my computer to upload the tuned base map to reprogram my computer. Then on Saturday I will be going to Go-power Motorsports to get a dyno and fine tune! Pics and videos will be posted from the dyno and tune! Stay tuned for the updates on Saturday!!!
