i have an 02 type-s and i would like to supercharge. which is better the Comptech or Jackson Racing? or if u know of any other let me know but i think this is the only two available.

 

you'll probably find the more extensive and more argued answers to this question on clubrsx.com.

i personally have the jackson racing race version in my car. jackson racing is putting more horses to the wheels as is. although comptech offers more accessories (such as an aftercooler and different 'stages') i havent researched into comptech all that much but iam almost 100% positive that you'll find an answer to all your questions on clubrsx

 

vortech.. almost 110+ hp increase and 80+ on torque at 10psi.. you can also buy a intercooler and bigger crank to boost up to 12psi on stock internals.. saw it in honda-tuning..

 

i checked vortech and it isnt showing a kit for the rsx.

 

Even if they made a kit for the RSX, the vortech is crap. Yes, the gains are very impressive, but they are only along a very narrow and mostly unusable powerband.

 

check out comptech usa, they make great stuff and htey have a supercharger for your car, but why not turbo? Shmoo has turbo gsr and it is nothing short of creamin your pants

 

the one thing i dont understand is why does everyone sweat turbos when imports already have high end horsepower? i personally wanted more torque and power at the lower rpms, where torque and power is lacking. superchargers give you boost from start to finish (or course depending on how hard you are pushing it), where as turbos give you a nice kick in the ass on the higher rpm end, where you already HAVE power....

 

because you spend most of your time when racing above 5k with these 8k+ rpm engines

 

Depends on what you're doing though, if tis mainly straightline speed/highway/dyno queen then a turbo is better, but if you are auto crossing the supercharger would definetly win. Road course will vary depending on the layout of the track. I'm not saying a turbo isn't good (quite the contrary actually) but that a supercharger usually has a more usable powerband, and allows for use of mods that most people used in an NA setup (CAI, Headers, etc.).

And to the guy who said Vortech, they don't make an RSX kit. Why don't I post in one of your threads to get a Kenne Bell supercharger, I mean those SCs are awesome.

I'm not too sure about Comptech Vs. JR though.
