aem cam gears,aem fuel pressure regulator, walbro fuel pump. thermal turbo exhaust. test pipe. jdm 4-2-1 headers, vafcII, and a vortech supercharger at stock boost?

 

I've heard of an Si 1.6 with an intercooled Vortech puttind down 275 whp.
Should be at least that for an ITR (depending on the ignition timing and tuning system).

Would that happen to be an Si from the Raleigh/Durham area, back a couple of years ago? I recall Chris talking to a girl from Duke who had a Vortech-d Si putting down numbers similar to that.

All peak though. Not very impressive through the midrange.

 

they claim like 275 on a stock Si. And yes supposedly its all peak power. Midrange and throttle response is not supposed to be as nice as the JRSC. I looked into the vortech unit before going all motor. I dont know first hand though.

 

It was someone in the NoVA area.
Installed it himself (after hours at a Honda dealer), but did say the "aftercooler" plumbing was a PITA.

Hey, peak power is still passing power!

People would be exstatic if they could get this from a stockish JRSC,
Granted, its like a belt driven turbo, but I'd bet the torque is still there @ 4500-5000 rpm.

 

I wouldnt know first hand Ed, only going by what Ive heard and read. Im sure it probably feels very similar to a very sick all motor set up. not that torquey on the low end, but top end probably pulls like a champ like a high revving all motor set up.

 

I've still got a turbo/motor/tranny for sale ....

That's probably an accurate assessment, from what I hear of Vortechs on Mustangs and whatnot.

That said, if I were to buy a supercharger for anything, Vortech would not be high on my list. I'd rather have a lower-pressure blower moving more air. Such as a Jackson making only 230-240 peak, but much more across the range.
