Just installed Vortech supercharger on Integra GSR
We will post dyno info up tomorrow or friday. Pulls nicely, smooth power band. I would have to guess 225-240 at the wheels. We have another kit in stock here: http://www.diabloautosports.com/prod...oducts_id=2105
We'll also be making a video at the dyno so you can hear it and see it :D

Re: Just installed Vortech supercharger on Integra GSR (austrian ITR)
the parts included in the kit are in the link above. The gsr we installed it on has stock compression, skunk2 manifold, msd6btm ignition, comptech 4-2-1 header, random cat, apexi n1 catback. NGK bkr7e plugs, field vtec controller. I'm looking forward to the numbers as much as everyone and we should have them tomorrow.

Re: Just installed Vortech supercharger on Integra GSR (TypeRdude)
I heard they are not going to have an aftercooler for the GSR, if not what about an air/air front mount intercooler??

Re: Just installed Vortech supercharger on Integra GSR (Cashed EG)
Can't you just put a Skunk2 Manifold on the GSR and put the civic si aftercooler on the supercharger??????

Re: Just installed Vortech supercharger on Integra GSR (112480)
it has a skunk2 manifold already. We checked to see if the si aftercooler would fit, but the charger is located about 2 inches to the right on the gsr to clear the aftercooler. We are working with vortech to get the aftercooler developed for the gsr with skunk2 manifold, type R and ls/rs/gs.

Re: Just installed Vortech supercharger on Integra GSR (TypeRdude)
Question TYPERDUDE with the cooler on the gsr how much boost can you run when they dvelop one for the gsr? How long is it going to take them to make one? What 1/4mile times did he run with the non-aftercooled kit?

Re: Just installed Vortech supercharger on Integra GSR (112480)
It shouldn't be too long to get the aftercooler developed for the gsr if you have a skunk2 or typeR manifold. All they have to do is some modification to the civic si aftercooler. If you have the gsr manifold still, it may be a little longer since the throttle body sits lower on the engine. The ABS module is in the way on the GSR and they will have to re-route the coolant lines also. With an aftercooler I'm sure it would go 10psi with stock internals, and up to 16 or more with a built motor.
No 1/4 mile times yet since it was just installed last week. It still has the stock clutch too, he's going to be upgrading that very soon :D

Re: Just installed Vortech supercharger on Integra GSR (TypeRdude)
TypeRDUDE will the kit with the aftercooler fit on a GSR swap in a 92' Civic CX hatchback??? If you go over 10psi on the kit what internal mods do you recommend on a GSR motor??? Sorry for all these questions.

the kit will fit on a gsr, but there is no aftercooler yet available. I would say once the aftercooler is available it should fit, but no guarantee. Also no more then 10psi on stock internals.

Re: Just installed Vortech supercharger on Integra GSR (TypeRdude)
Thanks for the info. Further questions, though: how is the sound? Giant dentist drill or acceptable mechanical goodness? 100% of the time or only on boost?
As a reference point, I'm currently running AEM CAI + Comptech headers & exhaust and it can get obnoxious at times. I know the Vortech eliminates the CAI (big noise source); does the Vortech bump it up further?
dB numbers not required but appreciated if you have them. A thumbs up or down would be helpful.
Thanks,
DoctorBob

Re: Just installed Vortech supercharger on Integra GSR (DoctorBob)
It sounds good, not as loud as a jackson. At idle you can hear a little gear chatter which makes passers by take a second look, but not very loud at all.
