Does anyone have any goot pics of the CAPA stage 1 (6 psi boost) vortech supercharger kit on an EA-ED the ones on CAPA's site are crap, im trying to figure out if theer is enough room to fit in the plumbing for a side mount intercooler.

I know this not what you're asking but there's no need for a cooler on that particular application. The kit comes with water injection which should cool the charge adequately. You may find that you loose boost on a low-PSI setup like the stage 1 if you decide to run a cooler.

would it be sensible to consider water injection on a NA application?

I guess it depends what kind of water injection system you're considering. Have a poke around some rotary forums (cos i'm sure you've got plenty of spare time at the moment, hehehehe) and a lot of them run a second injector into the manifold for water injection. Apparantley can replace up to 50% of fuel with H2O... but of course all rotaries are turbo nowadays. Not just for cooling the air charge but think about it - more H and more O is always gonna be a good thang. Dunno if it qualifies as a catalyst but definately assists combustion. My system very primitave (sorry CAPA). 3PSI boost closes a switch which turns a pump on which sprays water into the intake, just before the blower. Doubt if this would be much chop on a n/a system so if it were worthwhile, i'd look at a more complex manifold/cylinder injection system, much like methanol injection as i doubt intake charge temps would be too much of a problem on n/a.....

Water/meth injection is used on NA motors, usually to allow for some added advance timing, and good on high comp motors.

Hmm.. I'll have to look into it. 2 people didnt laugh at me
11.7:1 counts as Hi-comp... Could be quite interesting.

Who said i wasnt laughing? Nah, just jokes. Yeah Chef covered what i should have - the injection system on my setup isnt for performance gains, more for improved reliability and greater resistance to a bad case of the knocks. Makes me sleep easier at night and at 5500rpm
With 11.7:1, i assume pinging is your new worst enemy as well.

I thought it would be too, but the new engine and 24lb/hr injectors seem to have overcome any issue re: pinging. I guess it will be a different story once the motec is in and tuned up. If water injection means I can advance timing a bit more, and cram more Oxygen in there.. hopefully its worth a bit more power too.

Yeah more timing advance is the key. With boost its always better to err well into the side of caution, n/a probably allow you to operate closer to the pinging frontier (without the nervous fits, lol).
Did someone say MORE dyno time? I think they did

i dont think the 6 PSI (stage one) CAPA kit even has water injection, i was thinking of buying the 6 PSI kit with the straight scroll compressor housing, and a 9 PSI S/C pulley and running it through an intercooler, so no need for water injection, and it comes out cheaper.

Interesting..... whatever you decide, make sure you have a good chat with the boys at CAPA. I found Justin was a champ to deal with. They're honest - if there's a way to make it work they'll help, if it's a no-go they'll tell you straight up. May not be as easy as getting a new pulley, as there are a lot of tuning implications with upping the boost - fuel injectors come to mind. This is the difference between the different stages - they all use the same blower but have different s**t for fuel delivery - injectors, booster pumps and regulators. Not to mention the chip.....

I assume you are talking about a 6cyl. The Stage 1 6psi kits are Powerdyne blowers not Vortech. The Vortech blowers are only an option on the EF/EL engines as there will be clearance issues with the EA-ED manifold. If you want to go vortech, I would imagine you will need to do a manifold swap first. The CAPA kits are ok for lower boost applications, but if you are planning on running more than 6-8psi be prepared for a lot of extra cost as you really need aftermarket computer and injectors etc. As 4.9 EF Futura said, give CAPA a call. I also delt with Justin, and even though he is a holden guy  he gave me some good advice and options.

im contemplating the same kit, when you add up all the s**t you do first off to a na it almost equates to the same price of just slapping a capa kit on
Cheers

Exactly right, and nothing beats boost

Yeh that one, i though the CAPA kits came with the chip/injectors/pressure reg?, when i have the money i will have to start phoning people up and figuring it all out, untill then i cant really make any plans.
