hey guys, just woundering if any one out there with a vortec on their TypeR? What do you guys think about the kit? Anyone heard of any whp vortec TypeR yet? Should it be safer then a revhard kit? Thanks.

Isn't the revhard a turbo? You really can't compare turbo with superchargers....apples and oranges...

Is it safe? Depends if you get it tuned right.

Is it worth it? Hell no...Vortech isn't really made for small displacement engines...boost doesn't kick in til almost redline.

If you want a good supercharger, get the JRSC...boost from the get-go...and with their max 10 psi pulley, you'll be faster than 90% of the cars on the road.

SCC magazine did a feature on a Civic Si with a Vortech, it made 272whp, at redline and ran high 14s in the quarter. I've heard of faster times with the Vortech, but Justin is right, the powerband is completely linear, the dyno graph looks like a 45 degree angle....

There was a yellow type R on the front of some magazine, boasting insane numbers on the dyno off the vortec system....funny thing is, he was running 14s in the quarter....isn't that what stock R's run? (rhetorical question. =))

yeah the SI made 272hp@8000rpm...that is redline in that car and everytime you shift you drop out of power
