what do you think, anyone has done it how good is it

thank you

At this point reliability has been a huge issue with this supercharger. To my knowledge, there is nobody that has had it running for any substantial period of time. The bearings are too weak and have been burning up. This would probably require some work to get working correctly.

ok just looking, it seems cheap with an unusual place but interesting very

I guess I am better of with 3l build up and some nitro


what do you think

[DyComet]

The stock boost on those is 5-6 psi I believe. That amount of boost on a 2.5 will not make much more than a 3L and will not have the reliability of a well built 3L.

how is the 3l work goin, you should make pictures, i think I will be doing it within next 3 months, will you change compression ration by porting it,
what are you doing for intake, as far as filling the spaces, ????

[DyComet]

So far the 3L has been going great. I've read and read for about a year before I decided to dive into this project. I'm porting the heads so they I can use the 2.5 manifolds. This will not change the compression ratio. I'm still split on whether or not I will fill the spaces using JB Weld or something similiar or if I will have them welded. I will get a quote on the welding and I will make my decision depending on the price. I have no pictures as of right now but I will post them up eventually.

i have the one that blackcoog got. it's a bigger compressor than the other ones people have been getting, and it's pushing 11psi out of the compressor outlet, which equals 7-8 after piping and intercooler. i had it working for a bit but i blew it out due to no blowoff valve, i forgot to hook it up and surged the compressor. the bearings are an issue. every other issue has been fixed by mr. knight and blackcoog, i may have to extend the main shaft in it and put a third bearing off the engine/supercharger mount, to spread the torque load on the bearings out which will virtually eliminate the side pressure that causes the failure. i'm going to try it one more time without changing it first. i have had people offer to buy mine, mostly because the kit i have is 90% different than the one mr. knight is selling. the downfall is you must get a custom coolant reservoir as the blower is almost as big as my head

i'll post up pics when i do it, but its my daily driver right now and i cant afford to break down on the way to work. this weekend i think i'm going to install it for another try. if it works for more than an oil change's worth of mileage, i might be accepting offers on it.....depending on how the power output is. it's goin on a 2.5L so we'll see.

scroll down and look at my photobucket links. that's most everything, it's all dirty right now i'm working on polishing the blower again it makes that one look sad, 4" inlet 2.5" outlet, the hood barely closes on it!

[lubas79]

ok I guess I should focus on the 3l option before anthything, will se what happens

thank you

i have a 100 shot on my car right now also...... if you want an easy build with low maintenance, get stock compression forged pistons for the 3L, build it oval port and run SVT cams , manifolds, and TB, and run a 150 progressive shot on it. easy 300 HP, i'd go as far to say 350 seein as my car with bolt ons and stock engine (150k) with a 75 shot did 268HP, and my clutch was bad. the 100 shot will do 300 im sure of it, and this is before the blower and new block, as i stated before.
