anyone see the vortec kit for the civic si that has the torque shaft inside a tube that ran the supercharger? Basically it allows you to install the supercharger on the tranny side, but the torque shaft goes across and mounts in-line with the belts, and has a pulley on it.
i dont see why that couldnt work. Maybe you should buy a B series vortec kit and check that out. I think it would be much easier to fit in there than trying to get the whole supercharger shoved into such a small area.

Rep Power: 285 wouldnt even need to do that. Just a 90* bend from the aftercooler to the stock TB.
If you really have to, it is possible to swap the intake manifold fom a b series. I love my GSR manifold.

But on a side note... I highly doubt you'll see in increase of 100hp on our D17. A B16A2 with a JRSC get's about 40hp to the wheels.
Remember... a supercharger uses power to make more power.

Good table.
Good table.
i think it's common sense that the sc with the aftercooler would produce higher numbers

PROCHARGER been around for some time now.
but you have a point every engine are not the
same. but for them being in business for many years
i belive the number. and i belive i will hit the
220hp mark with it. then add internal
(Engine kit..piston,cam..ect) to hit the 250hp or more.
of course it takes some tuning

Rep Power: 285 actually, centrifical superchargers usually are not positive displacement blowers. That means that there is a lag until a certain RPM point.
But as long as you are above that RPM point, then you are correct, no lag whatsoever.

Rep Power: 0 this makes me wanna wait until he starts charging!, or i can start by own Prjkt with the vortech B18c kit and try to get it modded to fit. Looking @ the Vortech system thre does not seem to be TOO much work involved to make that fit.

Rep Power: 0 since the charger am buying which is a c-1
has no oil line. you will have to change the chargers oil
just like in a engine. drain then fill every 6,000 miles.
that easy. belive me it will only take you like 5 min.
to do it. will show a pic how it looks soon.

Rep Power: 0 do u guys think this is possible? looking @ it does not seem to be hard @ all to make it work. Maybe just shorting the pulley shaft thing.
should i take a gamble?
