Default which supercharger?

which model of rotrex supercharger do people use on the s?
i understand you need an oil cooler but assume i will need a charge cooler also? do these need to be s2000 specific or will any coolers do the job as long as they fit? cheers

Rotrex comes with in intercooler, rather than a chargecooler.

I prefer chargeooler but air / air cooler is ok too.

If you are DIYing one you would need to size it correctly.

Not buying the kit as a whole?

If you buy the kit from TTS it's all included, Rotrex comes with oil tank and cooler, intercooler not essential but sensible to fit, either air to air or water to air.

My Iats with the comptech aftercooler are surprisingly very good - now that the pump is working . I'm running piggyback so stock ECU can retard based on iat temps, but my car sits just under them even when crusing and when very hot

The oil cooler is a stand alone system just for the Supercharger.

im currently in talks with Richard at tts, im looking to get a supercharger myself, the later 'larger' charger they now use costs £4500 (roughly) with the vat, he said about getting a group buy of atleast 5 units and hell do them under £4000
Interested? That then already makes 2 of us
