jason, what's the size of the pulley that will give 13psi on the vortech sc?

thanks black2000turbo
I still like to do a lot of research to make sure that my rebuilders are doing the right thing.

Do you guys know where I can get some more info on the JE pistons and Pauter rods?
How much did you guys pay for your pistons + rods?

Thanks

I can sell you the rods and pistons no problem. But on the F20C motor I recommend you get the block sleeved. And one of the best in the sleeving business is AEBS. They carry the Ross Pistons with the Paughter rods. Along with ARP head studs and valve springs and retainers. You can also ask them to have the block balanced and blue printed. They have a package deal for s2000. Why don't you contact them and see if you can get something set up for yourself.

This is just my suggestion.

Something to think about when discussing the amount of boost the internals can take is the difference between the power delivery of a supercharger and a turbo. Boost is boost, but it is my understanding that with a centrifigal sc, such as the Vortech kit, you won't reach full boost until near redline.

Running 11psi with a turbo is vastly different than running an 11 psi pulley on a supercharger. Turbos spool up more quickly therefore delivering that boost over a broader range of RPM's. I am not an expert when it comes to the supercharger kits so someone may need to confirm/refute this.

you are right, the turbo "stress" the engine more for the same amount of peaked boost. It certainly has more midrange power compare to the sc. Howerver I still like my shortblock to last and I will not take any short cut in this rebuilding process.
