Interest in Supercharger setup - Page 18

As good a time as any to point out that there is also no way around spending a few hundred more dollars ($300-$600) to get it properly dyno tuned. This should be factored into any kit as any suppulied chips are only going to get you in a ballpark range and will not be optimal. Sorry, this is a fact of life with any FI mods on modern cars ... just get used to it.

also vortech kit DID NOT come with an intercooler... this kit even if it used the same headunit, with an intercooler will make more power... and do so more safely too

I see...this is true, I guess im still in my "import" mentality...b/c there are the companies out there that do dyno tuning ahead of time, i.e. when we put the complete GReddy turbo kit on a integra, it ran great instantly(as do most of their set-ups no matter where u are)...there's not a big need to hit the dyno again...its pretty much plug n play, and we did it again with a turbonetics kit on a sentra, so not all FI kits "require" additional tuning...of course it'd be smart to hit the dyno to try to squeeze more out of it. I dont really like the idea of chips too much anyway if at all, I like to be able to adjust when I want and I totally agree to get optimal performance you should have the car dyno tuned...Just seeing if it was coming w/anything to work with to see how much extra I would need to spend for a tuning device then go get dyno tuned...I think from the looks and sounds of everthing this kit is coming with, its well worth the 3K price range also...I can't wait to see the final outcome

Don't get me wrong, that is just as easy, but it will still only be a ballpark tune. To extract FULL POTENTIAL, you NEED to dyno tune. There is no way for an off-the-shelf tune to anticipate slightly different exhaust and intake setups. It will run just fine and make good/great power with an off-the-shelf tune, but it won't be optimal.

Plus that is an actual company. This is beig built by a fellow neco person. And he doesn't have a company.

The mounting will not change for the 2.5L or 3L. It will probably start out on a 2.5L and then I'll swap it onto a 3L and see what size pulley we'll need to switch to. BTW Jrak has the parts for the tank so all I need is a working coolant tank so I can get the car to the design shop and finish this baby.

have u thought more of an idea of adding a intercooler?? If u mount the pipes running threw the front bumper.. this would look sweet!!..
