i really wasn t to impressed with this gsr… at all… i drove kolar’s n/a before and it just felt stronger then this one!

the sc felt like it only makes power up at 6500-8 k… i know thats vtec but i mean it serious has nothing below6500 rpm.,

like i always thought that s’c… tc’s carry the car at low rpm! this one felt sluggish…

vortech = centrifugal

boost keeps increasing proportionally with RPM’s until redline

The faster the motor spins the belt, the faster the blower spins, the more boost is made.

Kolar had a JRSC, its a roots blower, like on an 03 Cobra… hits full boost at like 2K RPM’s, but dies out on the top-end…

he’s talking about when i had my GSR before the turbo kit… it had a DC header, 5 zigen exhaust, pulleys, AEM CAI, testpipe,and timing advance. And went 14.7 @ 97mph.

The jrsc was on my civic Si…but yea, that bitch was fun. Until it hit 100mph and fell flat on its face.
