What's your take on the difference between the supercharger in the market: Vortech / JacksonRacing / Kraftwerks ? |
Since I live in NW I didn't really have heat issues with the OEM Forester oil cooler and KoyoRadiator combo except this one time when the ambient temps passed 95F degrees (that day I saw 270-280F few times ) other than that it typically stays between 250-260F on hot laps (which is pretty normal if you ask me, some may say the otherwise though) .. If I still lived in Florida I would definitely get the Kraftwerks' Oil cooler and still upgrade my radiator with a Koyo unit.. the main reason I wanted to get the OEM oil cooler instead of a stacked oil cooler(air to oil) is because the OEM unit can also be utilized the stabilize the oil temps for winter so it also works as an oil warmer.. and with the upgraded capacity of the radiator helps for recovery between cool down sessions..
After I read the horror stories of the Vortech units I would stay away from it ..maybe @
Wonderbar can chime in and share his own experience with them..
It seems like for the extreme heat conditions JR and KW kits are better since they both utilize the same Rotrex unit ( there are some differences in detail and some prefer the other ) I would definitely read both of the threads of the owner experiences.. in my case being able to drive when a belt snaps is a big plus since I want to be able to drive home especially when I drive down to Oregon Raceway Park, also bigger IC on the KW might help for recovery too but by how much I don't know.. my experience with KW customer service is also great..good luck finding the kit that suits you the best..I think you can't go wrong with either Rotrex kit
