Yes, i hope u r right. My other great concern is this: Imagine you just got ur car back from the dealer with the s/c installed. Then You have this feeling that you can take on everything(well, almost everything) Then all of a sudden you spotted a RSX-S and you want to kill it, but then you got killed so bad b/c u found out it's got a turbocharged SR20 as well as other expensive mods under that hood. Now tell me how u feel about ur dignity and your car?

(...then it's off to finish the 20B/3-rotor, bridge-port, single turbo. Still shopping for a FD body RX7 for this monster.)

the whole opint of the SC is to keep your factory warranty...some people are not inclined to void the warranty just to get 25 or 35 extra ponies...keep that in mind you all...

hey Smash,
long time no talk! Most specs are sighting 200 at the crank. Of course, its all speculative, as they are quoting 25% HP increase.
If *I* were putting this on my car, I'd only do it in conjunction with an underdrive pulley, intercooler, header, and a fat 2.5" exhaust setup. all of those things combined,
I'd imagine it would be quite impressive.

You two are talking about two different pulleys. Toastbox was referring to the crankshaft pulley being replaced by an underdrive unit. Break_Away is talking about the pulley on the supercharger drive shaft, it is capped off by a tamper-proof device to keep people from swapping pulleys.

Hmmm Do the make the accessory pulleys smaller to compensate, I'd hate to overdrive my water pump or alternator.
Instigator, you wouldn't have to remove the tamper-proof cap since this is a crankshaft overdrive pulley, it'll make the belt move faster per rotation. Faster belt = faster SC rotation = more boost.

Ok, so my supercharger will be at my doorstep at the end of next week. I am expecting it to come in a week from today, so Friday will mark the rebirth of my tC. I will try to get it installed that weekend, but I'm not sure If I want to be the first s/c that they install. Not trying to be the guinea pig. Plus, the first will be the longest, so they can charge me a buttload. Unfortunately, I might have to wait until my service guys get a little more under their belts. But I will be sure to post first impressions (butt dyno).
