I believe he means a Vortech supercharger. Correct?

get a jackson charger or a turbo kit. Vortech is the worst of both worlds.

If I wanted a jackson racing I would buy one, I asked if anyone knows of this install not a debate on which you think is better.

Typical dumbass Newbie. Do a little research and get back to me. Or, buy the Vortech and you can show everybody your cool dyno numbers before they kick your ***.

if you have the Vtec Model sol, it will work.. if its a swapped gen 1 im not sure?
Ive seen the vortech on a 93 hatch with a swapped engine. It will bolt on. It will fit. It will work. and you will get no traction till top of 4th gear. but i have to say 65-140 was impressive....

Don`t look at the numbers, look at the graph, which will tell you the whole story.

I know nothing of the install that would be veary helpfull to you sorry your best bet would be to go to vortechs websight and see if they have any info. I can say that i have a good friend with a 95 crx si he first went with jaxon and changed out to vortech I dont have the dyo sheet here but he liked the vortech better. let me know how it works out for you. I also have another friend with a 96 integra gsr thats going with the jaxon supercharger. good luck and sorry I dont have instructions.

if it fits on a b16a in a 92-95 hatch, it'll fit in a del sol VTEC with ease. Check out our website in my sig( http://www.metricspec.com ) for more info. btw vortech is the best of both worlds, so go away people with no knowledge and who listen to other people without doing their own research. 270HP/ 190TQ bolted on, stock bottom/top end @ 9.5psi. 12.4@110 slicks, full leather interior, every suspension piece imaginable, daily driver, heavy car. I hear people say mad torque steer, crappy 60fts, no torque steer here with a bolt on suspension and 1.7 60fts. Do your homework before you post because we have dyno sheets and track slips to back it up.

Try and find some 1/4 mile times for a car with the vortech supercharger. With all the extra power it makes (100+), the Civic Si only runs mid to low 15's. Thats only .5 seconds off stock.

Don't tell me about wheel hop and traction, it's called getting a limited slip with proper tires and suspension tuning.

And besides if you know anything about racing you will know that high powered cars are bogged off the line to get a better holeshot.

And for the guy who said vortech hasn't been around long enough. Vortech was making supers before the first honda was ever modified. They started off with domestic muscle cars.

That's where they got their experience. In 7 second mustangs

The numbers do make sense and are very good and with additional add on's you will see even more impressive gains through the vortech system.

you guys don't even know what the difference is between a turbo and a super so how can you tell me that a turbo is better.

thats just stupid...vortech superchargers make great power up top and as soon as you hit vtec, you stay in vtec when going down the track. therefore i'm willing to bet its other factors that contribute to slow 1/4 mile times...ie driver, traction, and tuning issues.

a vortech supercharger is badass, especially from a roll.

joe_bacc are you fawking serious im running a vortech si and i run 13.1-13.5 all day long at the track with it untuned dumbass, first get one then bad mouth it if you have any problems and some one said something about the procharger its a closed system unit wich means it dosent get fresh oil supply so the bearings and gears in it will wear down in about 2-3 yrs. which the vortech has a oil return line and drain line so new oil is always pumped thru, also goto clubsi theres a guy by the sn of siracer hes is putting down 350whp and is running low to mid 12s and he is running 22 inch slicks and is getting wheel spin thru 3rd gear at the track so hes going to go with 24in. slicks to get in to the 11s, theres also a guy in clubsi thats running a vortech si and he put down 454whp so your telling me that its not worth it huh? shut the **** up and do your reaserch before you bad mouth a company jsut because your jealous cause you cant afford there kit, oh yeah on the vortech bad mouthing guess what they have a crx that there going to run this season and its running 8s in the 1/4 so tell me its not a good kit to have......cause theres not that many turbod cars running that and i know theres no procharger or a shitty jrsc'd cars running 8s....
