Another Supercharger question.
I am looking to S/C my car later this year. I am trying to gain maybe 100-150Hp. What S/c kit would best for what I want? What do I need to do to my motor before I get a s/c. I am not looking to change my motor. I just want to upgrade the one I have as much as I can and still be safe.

ATI Procharger...
read up on it... |
this should really go in the power adder forum!
|
power adders have a chance of blowing that motor. look at mine. i like my procharger setup just fine :)
|
you dont have to do anything your car 100% stock can take a basic ATi,vortec, bla bla bla kit with no problems.
|
just keep the boost down to 6-8 psi, ive asked people here and at a few race shops theyve all told me stock engine will have no problems.
|
hell even a 12psi kit form ati will be fine. but for that kinda boost to keep it daily driver freindly a dyno tune is a must. My freinds v6 is rocking 13psi from his 12psi pulley ati kit runs strong as hell and he drives it everyday.
|
12 psi seems kind of steep, not many people run that much boost on the stock motor
|
10 is the most i have heard on stock , but to be honest, it mainly depends on the tuning and making sure the driver knows not to redline or you can go ahead and order a new motor..
modularpowerhouse offers mongoose kits such as a Vortech S or SQ trim kit(3770) and a Paxton Novi 2k kit(~4200)...you can also order kenne bell 1.7L or 2.2L (non-intercooled or intercooled) kits if thats what you want... Another cool thing to worry about would be detonation..personally i dont know too much about it, but i know that bad gas can lead to it and if you have detonation, the motor is toast All in all, research these brands : Kenne Bell, ATI, Vortech, Paxton ...these are pretty famous and by comparing them, you will learn what you want good luck |

Well to be honest ATI is the only kit i would go past 10psi with. because of there 3core or even the standard 2core intercooler it makes add those 2 extra pounds alot safer, becauase it takes so much heat out of the incomming air. This of course helps keep detonation away.

So with 9-10Lbs of boost how much HP increase will get? And how much should it cost for the kit including install?

3770(includes everything that is possibly needed) + 199(4" boost pipe- 2-3 lbs more boost) + 550(install and dynotune) i dont feel like adding it up..but that is the total link to kit i am purchasing http://modularpowerhouse.com/product...a19608bcf805a9 this is whats included for those who hate clicking links Vortech SQ or S-Trim, MPH tune - with X-Cal-2 Flasher focus fuel pump 42# injectors 90mm MAF Spark plugs IAT sensor |

no you can run 12psi as long as you dont go to far over 400rwhp. on a stock block.
And i was describing the intercooler as i'm sure some people dont know what it does. a stock or lightly modded GT wont make over 400rwhp with a 12psi ati kit will it? i dont see it happening and i cant remember ever hearing of any that did. But i could be wrong. ps- anyone know how much Hp a GT will make with there 10psi kits? i am curius. |
the 3core intercooler is a restrictive piece. running a stock motor i would get the 2core. using a 2core cooler and a 3.3 inch pulley you might see 360-380 on a 5speed @ 10-11 psi
|
yeah so with the 3core or even the 2core and a 12psi pulley i dont see it being a big probelm. breaking the motor i mean. But for cars with like an assload of mods a 12psi pulley porbibly isnt a good idea.
ps-dom nice car. what does she run and how does it handle with the drag springs and whatnot? i am getting ready to get teh steeda drag pack for mine in a few weeks or months. |
