Hey guys... I'm about to return from deployment and I am going to start a new project as soon as I get back! Anyway before I start I want to get some advice from people who have had experience with the Vortech Supercharger kits and the Greddy Turbo kits.

I am debating whether I want a Vortech or Greddy kit and basically I am looking at the one that is going to give me more power off the bat.

I am trying to stay SMOG legal so I am not going to go with a different kit.

Almost forgot... This is going to be on a 01 GSR.

 

greddy kit way more options down the road

 

Turbo is more fun

 

That's what I was thinking... I read somewhere about the greddy kit not being able to make much more power without a new turbo... is that correct?

I was thinking about the change over to Turbo because my other civic was JRSCd and it was fun but I haven't experienced a turbo B series yet.

 

I've never been a fan of superchargers on Honda's. The turbo kit will give you WAY more potential for sure, and give you more hp in the end. Back when I had my turbo'd coupe I raced a s/c'd coupe and I killed him. We had similar mods, he got me off the line, but after second gear I walked him.

 

The Vortech S/C is overpriced. Yes, the peak gains are nice numbers, but the powerband is so narrow and useless.

You get the worst of both worlds with a centrifugal supercharger: lag and parasitic loss.

The Greddy kit has a lot of potential, has quicker spoolup, is cheaper, and has a much broader powerband.

 

i rather get the greddy turbo, i think its a G less than the supercharger.

 

definetly get the greddy kit. superchargers are the suck

dont worry it will give you enough power to be happy.

 

I had a vortech, trust me go turbo, its what I did and its sooooo much better
