Default Which Supercharger?

I am just curious as to which supercharger Jackson racing or Vortech is better for daily driven reliability for a 00 gs-r? I like the vortech but what are the pros and cons on each of the kits? Anyone heard anything bad about either? Anyone running a vortech setup on a gs-r? What kind of numbers did it produce?

Thanks


Scott

JRSC for daily driven power on the streets, its more low and mid range power, whereas the Vortech is all top end. The JRSC will net you lower 1/4 mile times as well, there have been some fast vortech cars but there are a lot more fast JRSC cars. Use the search and you will find plenty of info on both superchargers, HostBoard has a great forced induction forum that has a ton of members with supercharger setups...

The best supercharger is one that's not on a honda! Turbo is what you need my friend....

I dont understand why you don't like superchargers on hondas.

Do a little bit of research on both and you'll find that a turbo outperforms a sc in just about every aspect.

I didn't buy my car to drag race it. I chose the JRSC because it was a much better setup for daily driving than turbo IMO. I just wanted a quick reliable car that can easily move around in traffic. What turbo kit has a 100,000 mile warranty on it ??

If there was a turbo kit that could only produce 40whp than they would give a warranty with it too. The thing is, even a poorly designed turbo kit will make at least 60whp and a good kit 100whp at 7psi.

I just noticed you have an H22. That is one of the only hondas i've seen the supercharger yield decent numbers with. The b-series kits don't make anywhere near as much power.
