supercharger

Hey, if you're trying to stay away from turbo because of the reliability issue, why not try a supercharger? they may not put out as much power as a turbo can, but they do give you a great boost and they are easier to maintain than a turbo. A friend of mine has an SI supercharged and doesn't have any problems with it thus far (been a few years)



just a suggestion

I wish I was getting a JRSC, I am saving up for it. When I get it (if i do) it won't be till the summer. I don't have a garrage out here in NY (I'm in college at RIT), so I would wait till I got home to do the install.

ahh so your planning on doing it right when i am. Its gonna take me that long to get the money. So if i will still be able to use headers with JRSC? What about a vortech supercharger, do they even make those for my car? And are the centrifigal superchargers as good/reliable as a JRSC which is roots i believe?

Yes, you can use headers with JRSC and I believe they work with the Vortec. I dont know if they make a model for you.

I'll think into a supercharger, but I just don't know about forced induction. My motor is already bored, and I already have Magnesium Alloy rims (6 lbs. apiece) and a Kaminari carbon fiber hood (app. 4lbs.). my car is completely hooked up with all the needs except suspension and the motor. I will look into a supercharger a little more, but until then I will stick with the i/h/e, cams, ignition,and camshaft. Then maybe a fuel upgrade. Does that sound ok to those who know (I am probably going N/A)? What exactly is a fuel system upgrade for, besides getting more gas? I know you have to get one with a turbo and all that but what good is it for someone like me? Thanks

PS.
I have a Tanabe G Power Medallion exhaust end, not the cat-back. Will the cat-back give it a better sound? and more power? Is there anywhere that I can just buy the cat-back without buying what I've already got again?

I didnt check it, but if theres a supercharger for your car, this is where I think I would find it. You might also want to take a look over at Summit Racing, they usually focus on domestic performance but there might be superchargers for your car there as well.

As long as you arent buying plastic parts, you should be in pretty good shape as far as getting a relatively long life out of these pieces.

Si and Type R trannies wont fit to D series engines. The LSD might swap but I doubt it. Their are some good LSD's for D series blocks. I believe Quafe <spelling?> makes one.

Yes, a Type R tranny or parts from it will fit into a GSR, and most likely an Si.

Why are you concerned that the charger is made by vortech?
