Picture tour of Comptech factory
(I may move this thread to the Gallery later.)
On my recent trip to visit the Bay Area members, I had an opportunity to visit the Comptech factory north of Sacramento. Local board member "Avi" went to get a higher boost pulley installed in his S/C'd car and I was lucky enough to hitch a ride. Shad, with Comptech, was kind enough to give me a tour of their facilities. Comptech is located in two huge buildings about 1 mile apart from each other. It was very impressive and they hope to combine into one building someday.
Anyway, here is what you see when you pull up:
In the back lot:
As you walk into their shop bays:
And hanging on the wall:
Their air flow testing station:
Fuel injector flow testing station:
One of their dynos for bench testing engines:
What appears to be a Mazda engine getting a bench test:
A neat "little" V-8 sitting in the corner:
Sorry, being a fireman, I couldn't help myself. I've never seen a white fire hydrant before:
And up in the rafters - you think we've got a rat's nest of hoses and wiring:
How an S2000 S/C bracket is made, from right to left:
Some "top secret" stuff (If I told ya, you'd have to kill yourself ):
Machine shop where the exhausts are made:
"Under the Hood" of the Comptech NSX (Roots type blower):
(And they've got a surprise for the RSX guys coming up soon.
They are currently using this type of blower on other "kit" applications.)
An NSX (a "shell" of its former self ):
They also have an S2000 that is stripped down like this, ready to get "built up" for their next big project.
Avi's car on their "Dynomax":
