If you look at the instructions on their site, step 16 covers the installation of the bypass valve. Or, you can ask me as I installed my Comptech SC on Friday

Oh, and for the record, I think both kits are fantastic. I went with Comptech because of the ease of installation. With a helper, I installed the Comptech in 8 hours. Regarding price, I don't know what the price is on a Vortech, but a Comptech kit can be had from AutoCarParts.com for $4591.00 + shipping.

Wow...a lot of my friends who were successful programmers at the age of 17 sure as hell had better grammar than s2000coupe.

 

The issues with the clutch and rear diff has me a bit concerned but I have to take all this with a grain of salt. I don't want to sound like I'm picking on "s2000coupe" just because he's young. I was young once (a million years ago ) and I still remember driving my cars and beating the crap out of them. Could this have something to do with the "weakness" and failures of these parts? I see quite a few more "mature" owners of S/C cars and they have gone thousands and thousands of miles with the stock parts before feeling anything odd.

 

the stock clutch has problems handing stock power.

I would definitely upgrade the clutch. the rear end needs more reinforcement, I would drive on that until it started to fail.

top mount intercooler- I saw a WRX under the hood for the first time and that is what they have. I could see that working under a S. But it would have to be small, like the vortech. would the top of the intercooler be sticking through or elevated up through the hood? I would be interested in seeing some schismatic on that design.

superchargersonline.com sells the vortech for $4325.00 free ups ground shipping.

 

Can someone explain for me what you mean by clutch splippage, and also what the rear differential problem is?

I am clueless about all this. I think the clutch slippage is something that happened to me once when in my old car my clutch was hot..and when I gave a lot of gas my RPMs went up but my speed did not go up appropriately.

Also what the heck is a rear end differential?

Thanks.

xviper - I think you are correct. The reason the older people don't break things is because in general they drive like they are older people. Of course there are exceptions.

SKREEMR - Why would you want a top mount IC? Thats foolish. They dont work great on the WRX so why would it work well on an S. You can get a FMIC for under $600 so why waste your time with a less efficient top mount?

 

More on the diff. I agree that I think it is the casing. I think it is more related to pinion gear deflection under torque than the diff bearing caps. I believe that it is possible to build an external brace that would help keep everything in check. Hopefully someone will come up with a solution. I don't think the current "solutions" on the market are really solving anything.
