VORTECH H.O. SUPER CHARGER W PICS AND DYNO SHEET!
Ok, Its been a month sice I have posted anything. Thats because my new 2010 Kona Blue GT has been at VORTECH's headquarters in Oxnard CA getting its new H.O. Supercharger. My car was 1 of 3 used as a test car for there new High Output kit. The car was in Ca for a full 4 weeks to get the charger and custom tune job. This kit have the optional "Charge Air Cooler" too! They guys at Vortech were awesome and im glad I had the factory engineers do the install. As I look under the hood, I am amazed how much work they had to do. Everything is not where I left it. They had to move th radiator coolant reservoir, the power steering tank and so much more. I see they had to cut into the front lower fairing to install the Charge Cooler Reservoir tank.
Now tho the important stuff. I went from 238RWH @ 6338 RPM to 371 RWH @ 6305 RPM. From 258ft-lb @ 6338 RPM to 328ft-lb @ 6305. The only other mod I had was a set of Magnaflow Cat back exhaust. So I figured I gained a 133hp, and 70ft-lb.
Another thing I like is that they (I Believe) removed that stupid tube that pumps engine noise into the cabin. It was nice until I got the new exhaust but then the car was too noisy as I drive A-LOT of hwy miles. Its just perfect inside now!
Well, now I need some new tires and rims, and Im good to go!
