Default SUPERCHARGING SYSTEMS: Vortech

Anyone heard of this thing? Its seems crazy.

Supercharging System with V-5 SQ and Cooler for 1994-2001 1.8 Acura Integra LS

Adds 86 horsepower
Adds 60 ft/lbs of torque
8.5-9 PSIG
Includes V-5 SQ G-Trim supercharger
Satin (070SQ) or Polish (078SQ) finish

http://www.vortechsupercharger....html

I've got an integ ls 2000 with automatic trans.

Is it worth it?

I think your tranny has to go. Period. =[ (unless you get one of those racing auto-tranny that I see on muscle cars)

Best bet would be, to get a stick shift and start from there. How ever the worlds fastest wrx is auto (easy street motorsports) and so are drag muscle cars...

the vortech kit isnt that bad...had it been properly match for a honda...a guy on TI is running the vortech system w/ a different blower and is having great success...the kits that come from vortech w/ the kits blower are junk....upgrade the blower and youd be much happier....also their a/w ic is pretty decent, havent seen any flow/temp #'s yet...but from what others have been saying they are pretty efficent to a certain extent

its junk, u may as well just buy a turbo, cheaper and with a decent kit is more reliable. to this day vortech does not stand by their product or their fuel system they include in the kit. do a search for vortech superchargers and u will see a few blown up motors and nightmare stories about the system.

do a little searching... their ahve been many comparisons of the different blowers. bottom line if you want real power go turbo, if you want instant torque go jrsc, if you want a BOV sound, get a vortech or.... i forget. search a lil, you'll find a lot
