Avoid tapping your Oil Pan with a Vortech SC
having the drain above the oil level in the pan is ideal and makes for the path of least resistance for the oil to drain. that being said enough guys are doing the drain the other way if there was a problem we would heard about it by now.
as for me I'm going to tap my oil pan the ideal way just because it's not that hard and one less thing to worry about, I didn't get a huge tap and die set for nothing

As for oil getting backed up and entering the supercharger or turbo, I'm not sure on that. Although Comptech and Greddy use this system and I never heard of any problems, I could be wrong though.
They only way I could see that be coming a problem is if you had excessive crankcase pressure or blow by (bad piston rings), then I could see it forcing the oil back into the turbo or blower. Just my 2 cents.

Doesnt really matter for Vortech owners anymore.... the new vortech kits comes with internal lubrication

they do offer air to air intercoolers for other supercharger system.
Get out of your diaper and quit with the hate.
Get out of your diaper and quit with the hate. You can buy one through aftermarket companies for the Honda but not Vortec. I have always thought they were stubborn for not doing it. ATI is a few miles down the road from me though so I am rooting for them anyway.

why do u want air to air. if you want a FMI get a kraftwerks or turbo.
there is nothing wrong with air to water
some porsche cars run air to water
so are you calling porsche stubborn.

I brought a exchanger thread back to life so we can let this one be.

How can you adiquate air flow to the rear of the car for air to air exchanger?
The early 90s 911 turbos were air cooled engines that put out around 400 hp and they did great.
I wish I had one... that would be great.
