New to Comptech S/C Some ?'s
I just bought a used comptech S/C. It is the basic kit with no AC. Do I need to upgrade the plugs or will stock work fine for now???? If I have to change the plugs I think I will go with the Denso iridium IK24's gaped to .034. Does anyone know where to get them??? And PLEASE don't tell me pep boys or autozone, every time I go there they are clueless to hondas.
The kit I am getting has a 3.4 inch pully, is that the one that comes with the unit or is that one that creates more boost????
Being that the kit is used is there any type of new gaskets that I would need???? Should I get new hoses????
What is with all of this running to rich/lean???? Will my car be running lean once I install the kit???? I don't have any type of engine managment yet, and prob wont untill I pay off the S/C. Will it be ok to run the kit without an engine management system????
I did not get the kit in the mail yet so I don't even know If i will need anything new. I just want to be prepared for the worst when it come time to do the install. Any other helpful tips on making my install easier on me would be a great help.
Does anyone have a DIY install typed up yet????
Thanks in advance for everyones help!!!!!!
Can't wait for the wonderful world of F.I.
Thanks Kenny

You can buy the denso ik24's at Autozone. I agree they're are clueless and i hate it when i have to stop there. It's expensive if you buy it through them anyways. I think it was 60 something. If you do a search you can find the website where you can buy it. The gap is about right: .030 or .035 is good. But, your stock plugs will be okay.
If the whole kit you bought is complete, you shouldn't need anything else b/c the comptech kit is a direct bolt on. The kit comes w/ a fuel pres regulator. It's that nice red thing.
I believe 3.4" pully is NOT the stock boost pully. That probably gives you like 10psi's or something. The smaller pullys will increase the boost!! ie: 4.0" pully is set to give a max boost @ 8psi on the comptech kit.
I don't know the size of the stock pully, but on my car it shows 6.5psi's and that's w/ the a/c.
If you decide to use the 3.4 pully, your going to need bigger injectors and something to tune it b/c it will run lean which is bad, and you don't even have the a/c.
Besides xvipers diy thread on the vortech, the comptech instructions are enough to do the job if you know what your doing.

You really need to know what you are getting with the kit! Other than the obvious hardware the kit comes with the crank pulley to drive the stock belt as well as the blower, The ESM (black box) to hide the boost from your ECU, The Fuel Pressure Regulator (FPR), The high volume fuel pump etc... go to Comptechusa.com and download the installation instructions

No problems, but you need an AEM EMS and larger injectors.
