Let me start off by saying: read Scalberts Supercharger Myths on acworld if you havent already, my experience so far is similar.
Basically its a hell of alot quicker, and i estimating (along with allmotor) that it will run 13's No problem. The limit to how well it will do depends mostly on my launch. The speed is intoxicating as is the noise! It lets the car rev up faster and there is MUCH MORE usable torque, especially in the mid range around 4k rpm. THe car has a consistent pull to it that gets noticeably stronger at redline. Its about 3X a better feeling than headers, especially since it gives so much power down low as well.
I hope the next person giving a positive review on this will be Chaptorial!
I would recommend this kit to anyone, and if you are serious about it, let me know!

 

Yeah, baby!!!

Welcome to the s/c club.

 

Cool deal man gald to see the S/C is on and running strong. Best of luck with it.

So with this setup now your're running the HBP as well as the UR SC Crank pulley?

 

power, are you 6spd or auto?

 

nevermind you have obx headers so your obviously auto
Let us know how the tranny holds up

 

congrats, have fun with it

 

i believe he is auto since he registered in 01

 

congrats youll love every minute of it .the blower whine is so sweet especially after 30,000 miles on a blower

 

sweet, glad you are happy!

 

its a blast to drive, however the car feels completely different engine wise. there is no more vtec sounds, and the car whines louder as your rev up, creating an overall different experience than i am used to with the NA j32.
one thing that i like most is the fact that the car HAULS when you give it some gas over 3k rpm. its ridiculous how weak the midrange used to be, and the blower takes care of it. this also helps make the power curve imo smoother. my vtec would hit like an on off switch. it was like i was getting no power before 5k and then a burst. now its just an incremental build but with more noticeable power above 5k.
As scalbert/allmotor once said, youll feel like you just dropped a bigger engine under the hood.
the above is true for the most part, but i like the fact the car feels almost like NA under 2.5k. boost is not very powerful at that point, and when you are at those rpms the car has more than enough power for regular driving.

 

Congrats and welcome to the S/C club.

 

I have scars all over my hands from this!! But... it turned out well - except the belt for the HBP which was the wrong size.

Good race, BTW

 

Excellent review, very true about VTEC, it kinda disappears into the fine " Whine "

 

Congrats!! I would also recommend the sc to anyone.

 

The first time I finished installing the belt and we took a ride, it was slipping... so I had to use a crowbar to get that sucker REAL tight!! You can 'hear' it slip when it does by fluctuations in pitch of the whine.

Although you can't hear it from outside... cuz I raced Power3dfx and I couldn't hear anything (neither of us have exhaust either).

The install on the auto is more of a pain with that throttle-limiting thingy you have to fit in there!

 

ahhhhhh the joys of turning wrenches!!

Sounds like everything is running smoothly from your responses

 

so, who won the race?

 

 

Congrats bro... best of luck with it...

 

Well, he took me by 1-car length... started pulling slightly in 4th gear. FYI, I only have intake and headers

1st through 3rd we are pretty much dead even; he was very surprised. I am sure with my previous mods I'd have taken in by 2-3 car lengths NA. I'll run him again with the turbo just to see if it makes any difference
