The Comptech Supercharger includes the following main components: NOVI 1000 supercharger, Comptech air intake box (S2000 only), intake manifold (NSX only), Walbro fuel pump (S2000 only), and Comptech fuel pressure regulator. For both vehicle models, the stock fuel pressure regulators are replaced with the higher—pressure Comptech regulator. The $2000‘s factory fuel pump is replaced, and the stock air intake box is replaced with the kit‘s smaller intake box in order to accommodate the supercharger. The NSX‘s stock intake manifold is replaced with the combination supercharger and intake manifold assembly. The stock NSX fuel pump is modified with a regulator unit to increase the voltage to it, and the stock 15 amp fuel pump fuse is replaced with a 20 amp fuse. For 2002 and later models of both vehicles, an optional controller may be installed in lieu of standard mechanical bypasses and vacuum line modifications. All other emission—related components are in the stock location relative to the throttle body. The following are the supercharger pulley specifications: The NSX 3.2L engine uses a 3.8" diameter pulley, the NSX 3.0L engine uses a 4.2" diameter pulley, the S$2000 2.2L engine uses a 4.5" diameter pulley, and the $2000 2.0L engine uses a 4.8" diameter pulley . Maximum boost is limited to 6 psi. This Executive Order shall not apply to any Comptech Supercharger advertised, offered for sale, sold with, or installed on a new motor vehicle prior to or concurrent with transfer to an ultimate purchaser.
