Yeah I did read the article and have heard the 210 number before. I just wanted to share since someone posted about the aussie dyno.

210 @ 5psi (non-intercooled) i would probably be happy with on a completely stock car, add a header of your choice (JDL or FA20Club.com for me), and overpipe back exhaust and I think you would have a reliable 230-235 rwhp which should allow you to hang with 370z's and STi's.

A reservoir for coolant for the stage 2 setup?

Edit: Yeah, confirmed. Finally found it in the old locked Innovate thread.

Huehuecoyotl · 03-26-2013, 08:42 PM

ahhh, I see, thanks!

I am in for this... always wanted a supercharger. Turbo not my thing. I personally feel above 4500k it revs plenty hard. So, I dont need a turbo raging hard.

It seems that its only ever going to LOOK amazing, since we are never getting our hands on it to be able to say it DRIVES amazing.

In the beginning I laughed off people's impatience, but its getting to the point where they are starting to lose a lot of potential customers. I was ready to buy this kit but since that point, i've done other mods to my car and now am even debating upgrading to FI.

When you have vendors giving up hope on getting their hands on a kit, or other vendors looking for testers and then suddenly going completely quiet, it just doesn't sit right with me. I for one was never against innovative staying hush hush on the project, but with all the promised delivery dates and no updates to at least calm the herds, its starting to become disrespectful to the community that has been waiting MONTHS for this thing to drop.

Maybe other vendors have just spoiled us too much with prompt releases on products, and fulfilling their promises. Or maybe Innovative is truly genius and working out every problem and when they release this kit, they will say "I told you so". I mean look at Vortech...not knocking their kit but they are upgrading their compressor's now because of "extensive" testing that should have been done in the first place lol. They are taking care of customers though so can't knock on that, and at least they are friggin active on the boards.

I agree there is nothing special about this kit. Anyone can buy a sprintex or similar PD supercharger, develop a manifold, bolt it on and run the appropriate lines. If there was some cutting edge technology here that had to be kept under wraps, I'd get it.

I just hope someone else is willing to put together a similar kit. These guys are a joke, I'm sure their tuning problems set them back another year in development time.

With the amount of viable options it's going to be hard to sell into the market unless you can develop some real value. I think there is a good demand on here for a PD supercharger kit, but more and more people are beginning to go the turbo or centrifugal route.

Sorry..to go on and complain (I know this horse has been beat to death).

Does anyone know what blower this is using? I don't remember that coming up anywhere.
