I wonder how reliable this would be on a stock engine assuming the only thing done to it was bigger injectors and a bigger fuel pump.

Lol I used to be all about turbos but these superchargers are up there now with exactly my power goals that I want. I'm very impressed and excited.
|
I have three primary goals that I am looking for from a FI solution and I was thinking that a low mount turbo was the only choice.
1. Minimize heat in the engine bay for sustainable track performance in the southeast. 2. Enough low end torque (3-5K) to make the car entertaining when not wringing it out. 3. Enough highend horsepower to reduce typical shift points to 7K and more opportunity to remain in higher gears and still power out of corners. I am currently waiting to buy another car so my wife won't have to rotate the FRS anymore, then it's fulltime E85 and transformation time. |
this may be a dumb question but how hard is it to swap the pulley for someone who would want to switch from a low to a high boost on a couple of occasion during the year? I have not even seen a kit in person so i don't know what kind of work is involved.

+1 how bad is the pulley swap? Is it as simple as putting a wrench on the tensioner to move the belt off the pulley and keep the pulley mounted, use allen wrenches to loosen the bolts from the pulley to the rotrex and then swap out, putting the bolts back in and placing the belt back into place?
Would their be an easier way or do you have to unmount the rotrex and swap pulleys out of the car? @Jackson Racing |

Stock motor can take the extra boost?

very very interesting.. The supporting mods make sense for a high boost setup.

- Let the car cool down - Break loose the 6 hex bolts that secure the pulley onto the supercharger - Release the tension on the serpentine belt. I usually push down the factory tensioner, and then pull the belt out from around the alternator. You can then release the factory tensioner and the belt will be slack - Take out all 6 hex bolts from the pulley - Swap pulleys - Apply a dab of red locktite to the hex bolts and re-insert them to secure the pulley to the supercharger. Hand tighten loosely. - Press down on the factory tensioner, and re-install belt. Release tensioner. Verify that the belt is properly routed. *double check belt to make sure it is properly routed - Torque down the 6 hex bolts to spec. Note: the belt provides all the support/traction you need to break loose and tighten the bolts attaching the pulley to the supercharger. On a cold car, I can do this in under 5 minutes total. |
Bad ass Mike! Looking forward to getting mines.
