and i'm assuming u'll need to rework ur internals also - so that means more labour
well i havent heard of any1 in AUS with vortech setup in their Honda.
i hear the J/R kits are good but cant realy handle high boost.
but even a J/R kits is imposible to get in WA.
only thing theres an abundance of is b16a's i can get 1 under my bonnet for under 3gs
but torque wise ill be goin backwards!!
S/C are like turbo in that you can leave stock internals. You can even have stock exhausts and airfilter etc. Only thinkg you really need would be a fuel regulator. Of course the more power you want the more you have to change.
Anyway you dont need a BOV when your car sounds like a jet! Try finding some clips of superchargers on dynos... Its like a jet plane taking off.
well that capa bolt on kit only runs 6, 7 psi, the 1 with after cooler runs 9.
so i reacon it be safe to run on a stock b18, they can be boosted welll beyond that but, thats why it appeals to me.
i can get my car turboed for 6gs labour inclusive aswell, and get it tuned with the safc for the mean time.
id be selling my header but.
dont know i got 9months to deside.
a votech S/C is a nice item. able to intercooler it. but they are centrafugal blowers. same kind of power band as a turbo accept torque doesnt fall off up to. very predictable power.
the torque in the s/c doesn't fall off because it's not there to start with.Quote:

Definetely a win win situation. :rolleyes:
and vtc... only have a to change a fuel regulator? what are you smoking? the stock fuel regulators work just fine, and the boost dependent ones that I assume you're reffering to are the biggest piles of crap to ever be put on a car.
CAPA want $7,250 + installation. You could have a pretty quick B16A, B18C turbo for that with more power. I'd rather the turbo as more parts, more potential, more tuners.
Endyn in the US built Eaton supercharger kits for the B16s, and B18s in late 90s, early 00. The B16 produced 400bhp, and B18C7's created 390bhp. For some reason the B16s out performed all others. But they stopped making the kits which is a shame!
Procharger, and Vortech would be the way to go S/C wise. Performance Pipes up in QLD has started bringing them in recently (ProCharger only) and they swear by 70-75% increase @ 9psi (290bhp). But the long term potential of big HP would be turbo. Was reading about an LS/VTEC in the US that pulled 800+ fwhp recently! Big power.
You can get K20 and S/C and turbo kits in WA the only thing is $$$$, but than again that's how it goes, you can't expect anything for free, and try not going to fancy expesive shops (xspeed, speedworks etc), they are very good but at the same time very expensive, try Garage R (honda specialist), compare to others they have good prices, for example quote for stage 2 cams (jun or toda), xspeed from $4500-5000 (plus ECU) Cypher $5000 (plus ECU and tuning) and Garage R around $3500 so big difference.
Sorry for going off topic a bit.
Garage R was supose to find me a b18c1 and call me.
they said the motor alone is 2200 and labour approx 1000.
i said yep ring me when u find 1,
Have they?
NO.
Have i rang since to remind and ask?
YES.
What do they tell me?
same as before.
They do have a JDM B18c sittingin their workshop but,
'its a costumers he left it there 3 years ago and he told us to sell it for him'
1st time i saw it i asked how much
'aww 4500 he wants for it'
'but we can get you a b18c1 for 2200'
4 weeks go past and they forgot to ring me!!!
i asked if they could get a b18c1 for me they had 3 or something in and sold them off!!!
so i asked if the still had the JDM motor yes but now they want 7500 for it!!!
everytime i ring its a different story.
im not saying they are a bad workshop!!!!
but i just havent gotten a straight answer out of them.
and i got $$ to spend and they just dont want my business by the message they are sending out to me.
and please tell me where i can get a K20 from???
woahhh locote every time i read one of your posts youve changed your mind from turbo to b16 to k20 to supercharger to b18...
locote did you go to kwinana for drags few weeks ago???
