DOnt vortech give information on the deflection of the belt?

 

NOPE!

 

Im saving up at a fast rate for a supercharger and this is making me think other wise. I came out of building an all motor integra type R so forced induction for me is scary =) as far as reliability goes. I read like 10 good reviews and that one bad one like this guy 'Charged' flips a 180 for me. Hmm

 

Don't freak out just yet, let me get to the bottom of this.

 

Hope all goes well.. keep us posted.

 

Just talked with Vo0rtech today, they are building me a new blower and should have it by next Friday, installed by Sat and hopefully not blown by Sunday.

 

cool let us know!

 

New Vortech installed and tested, seems to be working well. Unfortuneately I am too busy to pic it up. I told mechanic to run it for a couple of hours just to make sure all is well. I had new jwt clutch/flywheel installed and havn't driven car for 7 months now. I can't wait. Keep you all posted on the blower and my crtique on JWT set up.

 

Good to hear man. Hopefully it all works out for you.

 

Great. Yeah, let us know what you think of the JWT setup.

 

Picked car up today and it felt great. The s/c running strong and clutch felt like stock. I didn't beat on it but I still DROVE it. The clutch feel is great and it grabs great. I didn't feel that the car was any quicker as others have claimed but it still felt good!!

 

Awesome man... im dying for vortech to come out with something for the HR. A little off topic but when you first installed your supercharger what was your initial feeling i mean the first time u had on the gas pedal?? Any regrets to not going the turbo set up?

 

blah im in the same boat man so I feel you, hopefully this time they did it right.

 

Well, it's brand new so it better be right. I started it up today and ran great. The last couple of times it blew, it was broken with in 2 hrs. Good luck with yours.

 

When I picked up car for first time I thought it would be like an episode of tuner transformation but I was wrong. The car was filthy with pollen and I didn't like jic exhaust system. The rest of car looked good. When I took car out of garage I couldn't believe how fkn loud it was, I was pretty pissed. I figured if this thing really goes I can deal with loudness. I got on it and ran it. I was totally NOT impressed with performance, I thought it would pin me to the seat, I was majorly wrong. I Wished I bought a Turbo or twins but really pricey and a built engine it highly recomened. Spending that kind of cash throughs you into a whole different car catigory. I put in a 3:12 pulley kit and that did make a difference but a turbo is the way to go but harder on engine.

 

sure, that is possible. cog belts don't need much tension on them at all. any time you have alot of tension on a pulley, it increases the side loading on the bearing/shaft.
