for all you non-believers in vortech....(sorry the image is bad, scanner is broken)
with 1 hour tunnin on dyno (temp. in room was 86.1 deg F): max power 254.6 max torque 174.2

*im gettin the aftercooler in a few weeks (vortech says it adds 25+ HP) and a DC sport JDM header w/ 2.5"...

 

You will have to blow up your image a bit - all I see is two small red lines. Was that SAE or actual hp?

 

LOL, best "red x" bashing I've seen in awhile.

 

Im getting the red X.

 

Oh that's MUCH better....

 

sorry, ill have to fix it later, its SAE.. whats diff?

 

Actual will give much higher readings in most cases.

Post the SAE graph

 

(&(#$%@, i cant get scanner to work... let me do a llil magic..

 

Wow, that is GOOD power! That's enough power to run deep into the 13's if you can maintain traction. Maybe I won't go NA.
My Brother is going with a Vortech system for his S2000. I'm going to see how it works for his car and then maybe I'll be doing the same for my R.

 

Where is Yoshi when you need him

You must upload the image to a webpage or image hosting service to get it to work my friend......

you post the image using {img}http://www.yourwebsite.com/yourimage[/img]

 

I fixed it

 

Yeah thats good power, but i personally believe good power is easy to get. i mean any 19 yr old can dump money into a car and get GOOD power. its the reliability and lasting of that power that makes me impressed. So you got awesome power out of your blown R, can it handle 100 degree days with the AC on and 2 plus hours of floggin at that track like a stock R can? Then you will have me impressed with that power.

 

Ok - you're not scanning the image correctly. It's waaay too small and out of focus. Try rescanning at a better resolution.

 

Whats your point? If he doesnt track his car for 2hrs, what good is it to him?

I'd like to see blown up before I comment. I'm not impressed with the Vortech's powerband, but I will say my buddies Vortech Si has been nothing but reliable from day one.

 

my point? His car is making great power, but how long and under what conditions can it last. I made a post today about my barely modded R nearly overheating in 100 degree weather with just the AC on in traffic. With a blower on increasing heat, i cant imagine my car would of survived. Basically im giving him props for nice power gains, but im wondering about the longevity of it down the road. If it proves to be reliable and safe, hell ill gladly slap one on in the future, but im one who likes to know the side affects before I invest.

i got rid of the AC if that makes u happy

 

can someone post a chart for a stock ITR?? thx

 

why are you installing a DC JDM 4-1 header and not a kamikazee?

 

Good peak numbers, not a very strong curve though.

 

i was told DC's are better, but both are good...??

 

the kamikazee is known to give the best power results with a supercharger ....im gonna try to get you some feedback real quick..

 

here this is all you need to read... http://www.theoldone.com/components/kamikazi/

"Kamikaze

The Most Powerful Production Header For Supercharged Hondas" quoted from that link.

 

Here was the big header test on a high boosting JRSC Honda on b16a.com. I'm not sure how the results would be different on the Vortech though as it delivers power very differently.

 

kk thx

 

BTW here was the source table for that chart. I just entered those numbers into Excel to see the results graphically.
