Sprintex Upgrade - announced on facebook - coming soon

[keen as]

From Sprintex Facebook

"Coming soon... Intercooled 335 Plus 86/FRS/BRZ Supercharger system. Available as a kit or an upgrade for existing 210 systems.
If you have a built engine and supporting systems this is the next step in building the ultimate ride."

I was wondering when they were going to announce this. I foresee a flood of cheap stage 1 kits for sale. Luckily I just sold mine, what a convenient coincidence.

[diss7]

FYI now that it's announced. Bullet are developing this kit, and will be the sole distributor for it.

At least, that's what they told me a month ago.

They also said that for the cost of the upgrade, they advised it better to sell stage 1 kit, and buy stage 2 kit. Although, that was assuming that you could get your money back minus a few hundred for stage 1.

You mean for AU that is? For US it's at least going to another year know how fast Innovate moves.

Btw, having read your detailed explanation on why you sold the kit I assume you won't be getting this, right?

[diss7]

I won't be getting it. It's more a case of that I found out about this kit coming out, so realised that if was going to bail on my kit, it was best to do it straight away before this one was announced.

This upgraded kit isn't going to appeal to many people. The cost difference between bolting on the current offering (either stage 1, or stage '2' charge-cooled) and this upgrade is going to be massive - "if you have a built engine"..

We're talking $10k+ for this conversion.

Is it a completely different inter cooler and intake manifold?

[ft_sjo]

I don't know for sure. In a conversation I had with Sprintex months ago, they confirmed this larger unit shared the same bolt pattern and pulley position as the smaller unit. They confirmed that a different inlet elbow would be required to clear the chassis bracing, which the photo above now shows.

I don't know anything specific to this new offering, other than it's going to be expensive as a complete turnkey solution with an engine build! No doubt some people will try it out on a stock engine. Sprintex have some concerns over valve springs, even on the current kit.

Let's blow some more hot air into this engine

At low RPM though bro.

About that life eh?

There is no need to have an engine build to run a larger blower. Run a the appropriate amount of boost and timing for your particular fuel and you are set with a blower that flows more at a lower rpm and blows much less heat into the motor.

The bigger blower does not bolt to the current manifold

It looks like it has to be a different intake manifold.

[tahoward]

Could you spin this charger at a lower rate than the 210 and benefit from lower temps at the same boost level?

Not sure if it works that way and doubt many people would get a larger blower for those reasons.

Can't wait to see what this thing does on a prepped engine.

I do not see why the intake manifold has to be different; the outlet wedge should be the same size and the bolt pattern looks to be the same on both images.
