i know its been ask many times, but its really hard when you have both almost complete kit sitting in your basement. i bought the CTSC last August 2006 with 2k miles and 2 months of used while the VTSC was purchase last month with 6k miles adn i would be the 3rd owner. my goal would be 400+ in the next two years, but for now i will run 7psi on either of the kit. i already have the 4.57 FD with CT re-inforce. for now ill be running with stock clutch until i burn it out and buy a new one. but i garage the car during winter so ill be finishing up my clutch most likely until next yr.

heres the tricky situation im in. both kit is missing one part and the rest are there. as for the CT its only missing the fuel pump and i know i can purchase it for 100 bucks and thats it. as for the VT it doesnt have the ESM also known as black box and the rest is there. but as soon as i got the kit installed, it will be tune with two more other choices which would be the VAFCII w/ PnP harness or the emanage blue with support tool but no harness yet.

some of you might be thinking of taking the VT's fule pump and put it in the CT an call it a day. some might say since you already have the emanage let it do what its made for... to replace the VT's ESM and have better tuning. now this makes me thinking of which kit is really good for me. so now i let you guys decide of which to install as my situation is different from other people who ask "Which kit is better for me?" since they were thinking of which one to buy. as for me i acquired both.

heres what i want:
--RELIABLE
--400+whp in 2 yrs. but ill start with 7psi for now
--QUITER RIDE
--I CAN DO THE MAINTENANCE

heres the S:
--MY 01
--just reach 30k miles last week
--weeked car on summer and garage on winter. not unless its above 50 degrees outside
--70mm T1R exhaust with T1R 70mm TP
--supra PCV valve both front and rear(ill take the front off on the tuning session to see the difference)
--4.57 FD with CT re-inforce
and the rest are cosmetic and suspension part.(coilover,wheels,front lip mirrors,rear spoiler and etc.

note: ill be upgrading the oil jet also known as banjo bolt once the oil pan is remove.

please help me decide which one should i install. your help is very much appriciated.

If you dont want big power like you said just put the VT pump in with the CT kit and get a bigger pully and management down the road. I would def suggest getting the clutch replaced before installing rather than just running it till it burns out. Its enough of a PITA to do the clutch without the kit already installed. Just giving you a heads up otherwise you gotta remove the supercharger kit and then drop the tranny.

 

damn... didnt know about this!

 

vortech will offer u more power out of the box, but with enough money u can get the comptech to out perform the vortech.

 

as ive mention, i already have a 7psi pulley and that would even out when it comes to initial install. but theres only one S that ive seen that was able to be in 400+whp in CTSC as compared to VTSC a lot of them are on 400whp club. if only CTSC impeller capabilty would be higher then i would install it. as much as possible, i dont want to lower the compression. by the way, whats the safe maximun boost i can do on a stock internals other than upgrading the injectors?

 

3 votes so far and CTSC is leading... i need more opinion as im still of which should i install. please, i need your help guys. if i cant decide, then itll take me until next year to be in FI. probably still NA for this year?

 

if you decide to go with the vortech system let me know how much you'd like to sell the comptech system for. thanks and good luck with your choice!

 

vietdood--as soon as i did the install with everybodys help on deciding to which kit ill let you know and all other parts that i dont need.

 

go turbo! hahahaha i bet that didnt help

 

if that would be sitting in my basement too then why not. but i havent seen any good deals around so its not on my list. and i like what sideways sig says. i like my torque on the upper RPM range.
