there is an official supercharger thread somewhere on here. may i ask why you want to go s/c instead of turbo? being different is cool, but if you want upgradeability, the vortech isnt the way to go.

or http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com
cant remember

Oh the S/C is already fitted end i'm rebuilding the bottom end right now,
i got the s/c for 2 simple reasons 1 i got it cheap 2 centrifugal design seems like best compromise between turbos and s/c's, also tuning options are VERY limited where i live so i'm having to learn about it myself(Turbo setup + tune is harder).

Upgradability is not an issue bcoz my goal hp is around 300 and i'm not 2 far from it, also it feels really fast bcoz the boost rises in tune with the RPM so low RPM's= low Boost high RPM means higher Boost 10psi @ 8300 RPM around 2psi @2000 RPM which is good in a low traction FF car also where i live there are many small roads and loads of corners so lag would suck!)

Got some vids in youtube search for jeryjohn to check out my silver EK4!) and my red EG6 also check out our local website http://www.klanhonda.com got pics there!

BTW the s/c post has nothing in Centrifugal chargers!(

The s/c post is all about those snail power jackson racing things lol.

Vortechs are nice but they cost 5grand new.

I have never seen a vortech make 2psi at 2000 rpms, They gauge usually sits at 0 untill about 5800 rpms than build boost slowly. Kinda like installing a PT106 on a B16.
Not hating, good luck with it.

no way man it feels completely stock until about 3000rpm! but there is SOME boost as soon as you hit the gas from about anywhere in the rev range!)

n e Way just wanted to know if any one here had one in their car????

Mustang guys are now cranking up the boost on centrifugal superchargers and adding a wastegate to the intercooler piping to add boost in the lower rpm range, while bleeding off the extra psi at higher rpm. At the set boost, the wastegate opens and vents to the atmosphere. It supposedly sounds like a turbo wastegate opening. The result is that the boost curve looks more like a turbo-more low speed torque and hp b/c of the extra boost at lower rpm.

It could work really well on B16's and S2000's. Good Luck!
