Edelbrock needs a development car for their E Force supercharger
 
Hi, is there anyone here from LA county or surrounding with a MY 2017 manual car that would be down to have Edelbrock use for development? If so, please contact them. I did through Facebook under edelbrock performance. Really want this kit up and running with warranty on my car!

From reading the edelbrock thread, there is a little fitment issues, not just tuning.

Hope I don't get in trouble for posting a very similar post in the edelbrock thread, I figure that it also needs a post in this regional forum to get the word out. Am I wrong? If so sorry, this is my second post ever.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...cf9b5a3980.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0c7f915799.jpg

Go for it! Or if anything just inquire about it. Read their warranty too. Stuff like since your dealer warranty is void, they take over the 3 year 36000 mile powertrain warranty. Of the top of my head I think its up to $12,000 though.

I believe that both those statements are incorrect; the warranty on your car is not void just because you install a Edelbrock SC. For example, if you have issues with your window seal, they're not going to 'void' your warranty and not fix them because of a SC. The dealer may deny a warranty claim if they feel that the installation of the SC is the cause of the issue.

Edelbrock doesn't 'take over' the powertrain warranty either. They provide a supplemental warranty - details here:

Note that using a tune other than the one supplied by Edelbrock may result in coverage denial.

Not that I know of. The web page asking for development cars is still up asking for a car.

oh damn well im going there tomorrow for the car show so ill ask around while im there !

cool and all... I went ahead and asked for the heck for it. Since they're very much near me. And according to them costs of participating is a little over 4 grand.

Now I used to work for a Japanese Parts Manufacturer and whenever we do R&D and test parts on cars. We either leave the parts installed in the car as a thank you for letting us borrow the car... or we would give % off on the parts... I'm not saying they should give the parts for free. I was actually expecting they would give you at least half off for the time :p

I don't know if they word(ed) it wrong... but costs to participate sounds like I have no choice to pay it if they need to use my car.

Dam. So did they mean $4k for the supercharger installed and running? Not bad but still not that great of a deal for having your car being the development car. Did they also tell you a timeframe?

It's been over a year since the original post. Is Edelbrock not supporting 2017 brz?
