Default What Bodykit is this??

I didn't know whether to post this in Appearance, or here, but since it's an Integra kit, I figured this would be my best guess of someone knowing.

I'm trying to find out what bodykit this is... because I really like it.

yeah, I thought the same thing.
the Supercharger is custom, it's a Vortech setup from the Civic Si, modified to fit the Type R... but I severely doubt the 400hp claim.

i don't know but it might be close.....the civic si with the Vortech supercharger got dynoed....it made 130 hp more than stock.....with a bigger 1.8L motor i'd say it would make 150-160hp on the Type R.....with better header, exhaust, straight pipe or hi-flow cat another 30hp...so 165 + 150 + 30 = 345hp.....measuring Hp at the crank 375 Hp......ohh then slap on a Fast and Furious Wing(APR wing), neon kit, and a handful of decals and you got an extra 25hp to equal 400

if it can be done to a Type R, chances are, that car has it.
It belongs to a guy who owns a local import shop, called Indy Import Performance.
It's actually quite fast.
I just don't like the way they worded it. They said "this baby alone should be good for 400+ hp." that makes it sound like the super by itself is making that power.

I know the guy has intake, header, exhaust, cams, ignition, and shitloads of electronics, and tuning. They have been tuning that thing for 3 months.

It's only made one pass on the strip, and it was on street tires, with a lot of tuning still to go. It ran a 14.74 @ 101mph.

Apparently, he launched at 1,500rpm, and spun through 3rd gear.
The car may well be making 400hp...
It's really done quite nicely. I like it.

there is no way in hell that the vortech supercharger can be modified to fit the type r. First of all Vortech blows ***. It take the worst part of a supercharger and the worst part of a turbo and puts it together. Ya you might get incredible horsepower gains but your car wont be running for that long.

SuperITR?
Are you sure about that?
Because I posted a link to a picture of it.

I don't mean to call anyone out...
but that's a Vortech Supercharger...
and that's an Integra Type R...

it appears to fit.
I've seen it running.
I've heard it running.

If that's not the Vortech, what is it?
