Vortech vs Comptech - Specifically their Brackets
Hello guys.
Which do you think is the better mounting bracket? Vortech or Comptech? By better I mean which one is easier on the timing chain cover mounting points, which offers easier belt changes, which is stronger in.the long run, etc?
reason I ask is because I have a Vortech kit but am considering selling in favour of a Comptech that came up for sale at a good deal. Just curious about the mounting hardware specifically because I know Vortech brackets can/have cracked at the VTEC sandwich in particular and they don't make it easy to change the blowers belt...

Comptech all day . This is coming from a Vortech owner as well . The Vortech bracket is total overkill and does not offer the trick little rubber vibration dampers like the Comptech/SOS units . The head units are all pretty much the same .

is the Comptech bracket belt change friendly? With Vortech u have to pull the blower assembly forward which is no easy task...

my friend and i tried to change the belt on my Vortech last year but we failed. It's too damn difficult with that lower spacer in the way! Finally my mechanic had to do it.

It takes 5 min on the comptech and SoS kits. Loosen the idle/tension pulley and slip it off. Put it back on and tighten.
