Little piece of advice that will take you a long way here: DON'T piss off the big dog.

To answer your question: you CANNOT dyno-tune the stock ECU. Well, maybe with a piggyback...but then it's not really "stock" anymore, is it?

I told you I wasnt specific enough.
No hard feelings .

xviper, you said that once you get to 350 hp things will start to break. Although its been said when you add a vortech supercharger itll bolt on without problems. Adding a vortech supercharger will add 108 hp at a safe 8psi. thats 348 hp, i guess thats not 350 hp but that seems to contradict what you said. Adding a supercharger is safe but yet adding one will increse it to an unsafe hp? Just trying to figure out whats what.

I am thinking of adding a vortech supercharger with an aftercooler. With that is it still necessary to add an intercooler or does an aftercooler take the place of one. I know i would have to add like a stage 3 act clutch with like 3000 lbs. But i've heard that either the drivetrain or differential will go bad pretty easilly. Im not which one, which one is it? I've also researched that if one does the cryogenic treatment to it then the problem of it breaking down seams to stop.

I was also wondering if one could add a cold air intake to an s2000 with a supercharger installed already. Sorry I have always done my research on turbos and have never thought of getting a turbo so im new at this. I decided on a supercharger because since the engine is already tuned to the max i would have to keep my forced induction down to about 8 psi anways so since turbos usually have the advantage of higher psi, i will not be using that anyways. Plus superchargers dont requier nearly as much tuning and there more reliable. But anyways thanks for your time. and sorry for how long this thing is.

There is a misunderstanding here. When I said 350, I was talking about WHP. Adding 108 with the Vortech to the already 240 present is at the crank. This equates to only about 300 WHP (give or take 10 to 15).
Sorry for not specifying this before. It's generally common knowledge when talking about output that 300 WHP is the typical for a Comptech or Vortech stock setup.

Vortech calls their thing a "chargecooler". It's the same as an aftercooler. An intercooler does the same thing but most people see these as air to air and mounted in front of the radiator. The Vortech is an air/water device.

There is less need for a CAI with an "cooler" on the supercharger setup. It will already cool the charge down significantly. Although the Vortech and Comptech both draw air in the same fashion as a CAI anyway.

New Concept

will the comptech s/c void the warranty (even if it is installed by a honda tech) ?

i was told that you could purchase the cmptech setup directly from honda.

anybody have any ideas?

Mine only made 280RWRHP out of the box

280 hp eh. i wouldnt be too happy about that.. maybe a turbo would be better? payin 5 to 6 grand for 40 hp seem like a rip off to me. if you added headers, downpipe and an exhaust youll probably reach the infamous 300 rwhp mark.

280 to the wheels, that equals about 80 more whp.
