No as stated the pulley supplied causes the SC not to reach 100% at 7,400 rpm . To do that the SC pulley needs to be smaller which at a guess the SC would most likely reach at least 10 - 12 psi. Having said that the engine might not handle it or there may be MANY claims of blown up engines. Its being super safe as pointed out most of the time it will be around 3 - 4 psi only. If thats enough and YOU are happy well let it be so but the information has to be explained to those who dont know. Imagine the SHOCK when put on a dyno and all it shows 5 psi because of timing beling pulled because the IAT's are high and all you get it 200 rwhp |

What i like about the 86 is thats its open to a whole new audiance of members.
The engine is N/A so there is no bias about members flogging you if you take the SC route as there is with cars that are available in Turbo format from factory like the SW20 MR2. So there is an open mind. But the correct info needs to be explained because ill tell you that if a turbo is doing 7 psi it will run circles over the SC. THERE IS SO MUCH IMPATIENCE. Why is everyone in such a hurry ? To be first ? |

Is it possible to change out the unit into a bigger unit? I know it was common practice in the s2k scene. I'm just interested in a larger unit for the future.

Would it be possible to install a waste gate on the intake side instead of a bypass to regulate the top end psi? From what I remember bypass is either open or close, but I could be wrong.
For example 1 Pulley setup for 7 psi at 7400 rpm and makes 4-5 psi at 4000-5000 rpm example 2 with waste gate: pulley for 12 psi at 7400 rpm and makes 6-7 psi at 4000-5000 rpm, but have the waste gate regulate it at 8psi like a turbo setup. Is this even possible? Sorry If I don't make any sense. |

You do pose a good question about the 7 psi. Was that an original psi goal? If so, why? "This belieng under geared the system will be running mostly only 3-4 psi, unless you red line every gear." Now my understanding of this type of supercharger is it has a linear boost curve. Which means that max boost is at redline. So yeah under normal driving conditions that's how it's gonna work. From what I've gathered from your interrogation of Vortech is that this isn't a system for you. You'd like something with instant max boost and that works at the bleeding edge of performance. Either way I'm bouncing around between this kit or the Full Blown turbo kit. And I'd like to thank Vortech for being on these forums and answering all our questions. Customer service is just as important to me as the performance of a product. Thank you. |

Everyone else just hears Vortech's PR monkey tell us it's going to awesome and goes 'OK!' If you have a better understanding, but no specs, everything is suspect. Especially when the PR monkey comes off as condescending regarding technical questions. Quote:

posts 13,14,15 & 16 suggest your are not relaxed enough, or is that just normal for you?
at some point, if its not for you, its just trolling, unless youre out on every vendors thread acting this way, which isnt the case. thank you. |

See im not one of those guys that holds everything to himself . I not only share my very good experiences but also my fails. This really doesnt have anything to do with Vortech persay its more to understand the principles of a belt driven SC. Think of it this way 2+2 = 4 but also 1+3 =4 I have talked to some of the best all around the world and i mean talk not internet. If my preference is for the Rotrex and not the Vortech thats my decision and one that another thread could be started. If i posted that here it would be seen as bias. All im asking is for the facts so members will know what they get. Believe me when i say i want the Vortech to suceed , why not ? I dont have any commercial interest at all. All my systems have always been one of , for me. It would just be good to see that they disclose everything about the kit and thats why i posted so as the non informed maybe can get something by my questions |

If i were to sell a kit , which i wont , ild be selling it like no tomorrow on all its points Aesthetics Power Upgrade ability Show gains Show loses Temperature points etc Have any these been menioned ? IC effectiveness, psi lose , IAT's In a mad rush to get kits out , lots of this info hasnt been shared. Gee i thought i would see IAT's of the stock engine then with the kit installed. If this info is being kept secret because of commercial interest so be it but say it. Do you think Bullet doesnt have all the answers well they DO. Its just that they keep quiet |
