Just wondering if anybody on here has a B16 Vortech SuperCharger? Just gotta few question to ask

 

damn no one have this kit anymore

 

i had this kit on my 00 si, very dissapointing. i sold the car with the kit for 7k

 

oh damn, what made you so disappointed about it? Did you remember where you plug your air sensor? Also where does the hose goes to, the one that you suppose to mount the MAP on top?

 

did not make much power, turbo is much better and less expensive
air temp sensor goes in plastic pipe prior to the blower, you need to extend the wiring
there is no hose going to the map sensor check valve

 

oh okay. If you still have pics of the set up, you mind sending me it? thanks

 

i like vortech cus it works with a bov i believe but i heard jackson is much more reliable but vortech can boost more

 

from what I know, Jackson is great to low end, Vortech is more of like mid/high end. Plus vortech have more potential.

 

vortech is basically a poorly sized belt driven turbo that makes peak power at peak rpm. thats the downfall of that kit. the jackson being a pdb, isnt as bad.

a properly sized turbo will outperform the vortech by a lot.
it isnt a bad kit. just not a very effecient one.

 

here is the car i sold

Wow, nice. Did you BOV even work? because mine doesn't seem to work at all, I was think advance to timing just to see if it going to work. Since the BOV is not workin, I'm guessing there's something wrong

 

my BOV worked fine, it actually should be open when at idle, since the blower makes boost at idle. get a new BOV if yours isnt working

 

i think i know what's the problem is. I never hook it up to the Fuel pressure regulator.

 

thats not where i would hook it up
get you vaccuum/boost feed from the larger port on the front side of the intake manifold

 

let's say on this pic, i would hook it up to the port under the SKUNK2 plate right?

 

yes, T it into the line from the manifold to the PCV fitting

 

anyone know where I'm suppose to connect the hose where on top VALVE COVER to?

 

put a filter over it or run a catch can.

 

lol at the "dohc vortech" stickers thats pretty good.

 

i had one was on a b18c doh..same set up any ways..make 253whp @9psi..what was it u wanted to know?

 

1. Are there several hose that I can hook up the BOV to or the best one is the fuel press regulator? A few people said that I can also hook it up to where the hose on the Intake Manifold for the Cruise Control (I took out my cruise control box), instead of using a T-Fiting on the fuel pressure regulator.

2. Is true that is risky to run a aftercool intake box if I don't do my internals? A friend said that I can blow my internal is I don't.

3. Do I really need to install the Vortech FMU? I'm just asking because mine is messing a few parts. Smog shop told me that I should be find upgrading the stock fuel pump to Wabro 255.

4. What gauges do you recommend getting?

 

ok..ama answer to the best of my knowledge.

1.any vacuum line that detects boost can be used to signal the blow off..

2. i dont really understand the question..but a after cooler (water to air) acts like a inter-cooler. it cools the air before it goes into the intake manifold.depending on boost level a after cooler is needed to help lower chances of detonation...regardless of built or stock engine anything above 10 psi with out proper cooling will blow your engine..if you are running 7 psi you would be safe but higher than that i recommend you get a after cooler.

3.yes u need to..fmu raises the fuel pressure as u boost more..with out it you will blow your moto...the only way you could remove it is if u install something to help control the fuel.management or a super fc or something.. and yes u need to upgrade your stock fuel pump.

4.its up to you.. i just put in a boost and oil pressure gauge


rem get your engine tune or else the car would never run right...
