those who have the comptech supercharger what are your impressions of it is the power much improved over stock. i heard vortech is coming out with one not sure which to choose.im looking to have a low 13 sec daily driven s2000.

 

Comptech SC will give you a low 13 second daily driven S2000. Do some searching on the board, there is a LOT of info around about the SC.

 

If you want a SC you should wait for the Vortech since, I'm
they'll come out with a powerful SC. I remember reading a post
from a member that got a prototype sc by vortech. It's recent so
you'll probably find it.

 

Unfortunately the guy has neither tracked it nor dyno'd it, so there is no reason to get too excited yet. In theory, the Vortech kit should push more boost - since it's aftercooled...but without a dyno there's nothing to get all excited about.

 

whats the hp gains for the comptech ?

 

340 horsepower at the crank for the Comptech s/c.

 

Yes, around 280 RWHP, give or take 5 HP.

 

damn 60 HP loss....

Wes, how have you done racing C5s?

 

I haven't really had a chance to run a C5. I ran one on the highway from 80-130 and I was stuck on his back bumper. Now, there is a thread on Suicide Kings that says I smoked this guys brothers C5...but I don't remember doing it.

280 RWHP with no other mods. Throw in exhaust, TB, VAFC, and you can have pver 300 RWHP. Intercooling, boost upgrade, engine management and you'll soon have 360 RWHP. Throw on a 50 shot and you have a 400 RWHP S2000. <starting rumors>

 

A big advantage with the Comptech is that it is proven. You can come on this forum and find people who have used them for months. I love mine - it has worked flawlessly since installed. It's the single most kick in the pants for the S2000 to date - and quite a kick it is!

If Comptech comes out with a cooler and pulley mod (more boost) I'll probably add that on. I'm a conservative driver and don't race hardly at all, but when I get on one of these Southern California freeways it takes no time to get to speed or change lanes. Exciting car to drive both with and without the SC.
