We've seen gains of more than 24 hp between a car with factory headers & exaust and cars with free flowing headers & exhaust. We will be dyno testing another car with factory headers and free flowing exhaust that will indicate where the gains are primarily coming from.

The fuel systems on both pre drive by wire and drive by wire cars allow an approximate 20% overhead such that these modifications are acceptable as long as the car is dyno tested to confirm the AFR curve if the change is made after the system is installed and tested.

hi Dan --

Glad you got that situated. The 1200 produces less noise than the 1000, and in my experience, the least noise of any centrifigul compressor. You do stil hear the gear backlash at idle which is minimal.

We have a 1200SL system that we are testing and confirming before we present details.

thank you,

2000-05 systems replace the fuel pump with a unit that can handle the increased load from the rising rate fuel pressure regulator.

Fuel pressure was verified during testing. The 2006-08 application does not require a fuel pump change as the fuel pump does not see the increased load presented by a rising rate FPR.

We offer the system with either a standard boost (approx 6 psi) or high boost pulley (approx 8.5 psi) depending on if your car has or will have a higher capacity clutch installed.

How long will it last on high boost with the stock clutch roughly?

 

Thanks for the post Chris, I did read this page before but it really does not go into any detail about how it isolates the supercharger from the engine. Do other competing superchargers have a system like this or not?

What exactly is included with the kits i.e. Can you pm me a parts list? for a 2002.
What other finish combinations are you talking about? i.e. black, polished and what else is available.
Is there a downloadable installation manual yet? What kind of instructions come with the kit?

Thanks for the info.

 

The stock clutch can hold the power, however, it will have accelerated wear.

The good thing is that going to the high boost setup on 2006-08 is as simple as a pulley change. So, you can start out with the standard boost, then, when it is time to change your clutch, upgrade for just the cost of a pulley (currently $89.95).

Regarding the vibration system, the main supercharger plate is secures to the mounting locations with a bushing that provides axial and radial isolation to the rest of the engine. The bushing itself is made up of male and female neoprene halves that join together on either side of the main mounting plate. It has a steel shaft that supports the assembly. The bushings are "fail safe" in the way that they are captivated by stainless steel plates on both sides. This is nothing extraordinary or unusual. Just an extra step in the design for maximum durability.

The installation guide included is a step by step guide with photos written so that even the entry level home garage mechanic can install the system. In my opinion, after seeing other kit's installation guides, I believe it is the best. We do not plan on offering it as a download. The parts list and installation guide is included with the system when purchased.

Lastly, regarding finishes. We offer our signature black satin finish, polished, or a custom finish to your request which can be about any powdercoated color available. This adds $80.00 to the price of the kit, and adds 2-4 weeks for processing time.

regards,
