Here is some information to 'back' my post..... don't get to excited with that Napoleon, I can see how 'back' might excite ya....
Vortech has a option for a intercooler, JRSC doesn't.
Vortech (175HP/140TQ), JRSC (160HP/130TQ) for reference ZETEC engine.
A quote off 'another' focus site....
quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is it true that the JRSC performs worse stock, but if you do some modifications it can be better than the Vortech? Which one has a higher power capability (and on octane 92)?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not a chance in hell. Nothing against the JRSC, but the JRSC is an awesome reliable simple bolt-on solution with reasonable gains. The JRSC cannot hold a candle to the Vortech or a turbo kit when it comes to any kind of performance upgrade path. Anything you can do to the roots, the same on the Vortech would provide even more.
and another quote of that same thread.....
"I voted Vortech. Each dyno I see just blazes the JRSC one."
There are TONS more theads like this. One reason why a VORTECH might give you problems though is the fact that it is alot more 'involved' then the JRSC. VORTECH comes with a blower, shaft, air/water intercooler, water pump, different injectors, different tune, etc so of course with having more parts there is an increased chance that there could be more problems based on statistics....
Shall I continue???
