Vortech S2000
Hey guys!
I'm posting for a friend of mine who just bought the S2000 from Vortech Engineering. It's the company car that was featured in numerous magazines you may have all seen. The car was just shipped in this week. He was wondering if there was anyone else on the island that has the Vortech Supercharger and what header works best in conjunction with the supercharger. Appreciate any input on this! Aloha.

Nobody else has a SC on island. A couple of us looked into getting one this year but decided to pass due to several problems a couple of the kits had. Infact I was very close to buying the Comptech kit but went with a hardtop along with upgraded brakes.
I heard on one of the other posts that you can use the Toda header for decent gains. Infact you can PM Skychicken. He has the Vortech SC with Toda header...Hope this helps you out..

One of the moderators posted this a while ago...
"Use the "search" feature on the board for Comptech or supercharging. Problems with broken alternator brackets and rear differentials most recently. Contact Wesmaster as he is the pioneer in pushing the unit to the limit...."

I heard the same thing from several board members about rear diff. failures. Anyway hope this helps you out..

Rear diffs break on stock cars. It really comes down to how hard you launch it, IMO. I figured there might be some S/C S2000 in Hawaii. I wouldn't have guessed it was on the Big Island though!
I would second the recommendation on the Toda header. Seems like only positive posts so far (no personal experience though).

I'm not sure what he got it for but he did say that with all the aftermarket parts already on the car, he got a really good deal. Here's a quick pic for you all.
