I’ve been shopping around for a supercharger for my '94rs and I’ve decided to get the Vortech system. I was wondering if I could get the gsr system installed on my LS, so after the current motor gets old I will have the correct setup for after I get my gsr motor. I’m definitely replacing the motor with a B18C within 6 months regardless of what I do.
ps - I’ve heard of this system making close to 300hp on a stock b18c … should i really expect that much ?
All B series exhaust/intake manifolds bolt up properly.
I don’t know what other problems you would run into, but I think the only reason they have designated kits for certain engines/years is because of fitment issues… not too sure though.
Not true…I KNOW the B16/ITR intake manifolds are different than the LS manifolds. They may bolt up…but I think the coolant passages dont line up or something.
This has to be true or they wouldnt sell Intake Manifolds specifically for the B16/ITR separate from the LS/GSR.
I’ve decided on vortech because i’ve heard nothing but glowing reviews of their products while jrsc seems to be having a huge number of complaints. Also I’m convinced roots-type blowers are only good for larger engines operating at lower rpm’s. The vortech is more like a turbo driven off of a pulley.
All LS’s/B20 = Same
B16/ITR and other PR3 style heads are different and cannot be interchanged
94+ GSR is super fucked and won’t touch anything else but a P75 head. P75 or P72… I forget which one is GSR, but you get it.
And no, the bolts don’t come close to lining up. I’ve seen some peoeple redrill and mod a PR3 manifold to fit an LS tho… big waste of tiem IMO, just get a Skunk 2 haha
Cool man. BTW, if you do swap to a B18C1 later on, jsut change out the manifold for a regular style like a Skunk2 or equivalent, then you don’t have to modify any of your pipping. I love Vortech
you mean exhaust and header. the intake doesnt really count because its the supercharger. I wouldnt expect much more than whatever the blowers rated at. a header and exhaust will give you maybe 8 hp.
aye sorry but dis myte b off the subject…i was juss wondering if any one noes what it takes to run a turbo with da jackon racin super charger…?wut kinda internals, ems, etc…would i need…?
and if u plan on putting JR SC on a G2 just forget about it. its more work than it is worth beings how the master cylinder/brake booster is in the way and the firewall is to close to the intake manifold, it would take alot of hacking to make a JR SC to fit on our g2’s, a couple people on here have i think but for the time you would put into it just go turbo cause with the right tuning you can make almost 3 times the power that the supercharger makes
" ‘unknown’ sorry but this might be off the subject , I was just wondering if anyone knows what it takes to run a turbo with the jackson racing supercharger? What kind of internals , ems ,etc , would I need?"
Meguires had either an Integra or RSX a few years back that had this set up. I’m not sure about the set up but with enough money anything is possible.
