He could've cleaned the engine bay up a bit...you know not have the nasty crusty battery chillin there! Other than that it looks like a great idea. He needs some dyno graphs! also the more I look at it that seems like a modified turbocharger! Born again on 04/09/06 FOR SALE: Moonroof glass and motor MB sunshade PM ME!

No kidding. A hard 90 degree bend right before the MAF?!? That can't be good. He should have relocated the MAF to that nice looong section up against the firewall. Then ditch the battery and put in a nice big water-air intercooler. Also, he's going to blow stuff up trying to use a rising-rate FPR. At what power level do the Duratec MAF/injectors max out at anyway? BP Ben ---'96 Contour GL * Zetec ATX * Tan on Black steelies--- +++JRSC M62 Under Construction+++ My big-a$$ mod list.

It sounds like it's a T04E compressor housing. Should be good for a decent amount of power depending upon the trim. 40 Trim ~ 275HP @ 6psi 46 trim ~ 300HP @ 6psi ...just from a quick look at my maps. The kit definitely has some potential. I wonder if you could just buy the supercharger part of it and do it the right way? (MAF in proper place, intercooler, etc.) BP Last edited by ButtonPuncher; 03/23/06 05:11 AM.

Yes, but it is spinning MUCH slower than it would if it was attached to it's exhaust side housing! Born again on 04/09/06 FOR SALE: Moonroof glass and motor MB sunshade PM ME!

That drive gear looks pretty darn tiny. Ben ---'96 Contour GL * Zetec ATX * Tan on Black steelies--- +++JRSC M62 Under Construction+++ My big-a$$ mod list.

Remove the A/C, clock that supercharger and run an FMIC! Born again on 04/09/06 FOR SALE: Moonroof glass and motor MB sunshade PM ME!

Heck, the 46 trim compressor map doesn't even start until 40k rpms. 40 trim starts at 46,200 rpms.
