I think I understand how SC and Turbo increase HP and torque, but what are the performance advantages and reliability issues of one over the other in the S2K?

 

Nitrous is horrible.

 

Turbo picks up a lot quicker then the Sc, thats one good thing, but the sc is more reliable.

 

turbo's takes more time and money...

 

Isnt the vortech NOT carb legal due to the fact that it comes with a bov and carb doesnt like venting to the atmostphere? I believe thats one of the reasons comptech went with the recirculting setup.

Id DEFINITELY stick with the blower. Heed what Sideways said.

Btw, Phil, I kept meaning to ask you, how did the gears work out for ya?

Vortech is CARB approved.

 

When did this happen? Recently?

 

Vortech supercharging systems deliver maximum value for your performance dollar. Each system is 100% complete, right down to the wire ties. This system features a fully integrated air to water aftercooler approach to charge cooling. Vortech chose the air to water system primarily because it closely maintains the boost level found at the compressor. Horsepower for the aftercooled system is pumped up to considerably more than non-aftercooled systems. You will be impressed by the way the system installs on the car and by the factory appearance.

Each Vortech supercharging system is designed, tested, and sold to be installed on vehicles in their original or otherwise stock form. They are engineered to deliver maximum performance and long term engine durability at safe boost levels on stock engines. By taking into consideration variables such as the intended use, climate, altitude, and design parameters of stock engines, Vortech supercharging systems deliver proven performance.

Vortech supercharging systems feature a heavy duty engine oil lubrication system ensuring a fresh supply of oil to the supercharger bearings and gears. This ensures maximum durability with virtually no maintenance. In fact, when you change your engine oil, you change the supercharger oil. Owning a Vortech supercharging system is as easy as following factory maintenance schedules and running premium unleaded fuel.

About Vortech's Aftercooler:
The most effective means of reducing forced induction air intake temperatures is by using an air to water aftercooler. Air to water aftercoolers are currently being used by OEMs like Ford and Jaguar for supercharging systems. This superior air cooling technology is proven to reduce air intake temperatures by as much as 200

 

Interesting!

That means that my presumption regarding the blow-off valve being incompatible with CARB is incorrect. Thats odd.
