http://www.sprintex.com.au/sprintex/superchargers/ Wasnt it this one? 150, is what Adam told me If I recall correctly..it was being manufactured by Proton Holdings Berhad, Malaysia. They are the ones doing the castings, and building the blowers too, iirc, Proton is a malaysian car popular in UK http://www.proton.co.uk/ Not really sports cars, but thats where Bullet enters: Bullet Cars of AUS engineered the kit's design. Sprintex makes the blower itself, in the proton factory, as I recall. Innovate is the data acquisition company that is importing the kit, like they import alot of what gets sold under Innovate, Innovate is the one supplying the kits to their channel. There is a 3rd party tuning firm involved doing the tuning with Bullet, so yes, alot needs to line up and there is more to putting out a kit as such than someone like Vortech who builds, designs, casts, and distributes to the channel direct, in america, so obviously their product is at market sooner. My only thing is if the blower is rated for not a very high cfm, I dont see how folks are expecting more than 8-9psi from that kind of air flow. See below. The next blower up may be prohibitive from a sizing and or efficacy standpoint, I'd be more curious about learning about those options that would make this kit a contender for my garage, also.Looking at the spec sheet below, the cfm output just seems low , to me. If its the 210, that starts looking alot better. Would love clarification, is it the 210 or the 150? Who knows for sure? I cant IMAGINE running the 210 without an IC but 445 cfm sounds alot better...but not quite as high as I like. |

OMG! whats going on around here these days?
Just dont let it happen again ![]() Before people rush to say I am putting the kit down, I am not, just posting what sprintex publishes for CFM flow rates, and both the 318 and 445 figures seem really low when I compare those numbers to Vortechs page which while it doesnt list our exact compressors output, the ballpark range they seem to 'hang' at with their product line up appears to have more air out put, for those of us who want to play with 8psi+ setups this flow rate becomes of critical value. I sent an email to Vortech asking for numbers Last edited by Huehuecoyotl; 03-27-2013 at 12:06 PM. |

Also based on the picture in post #45, is it me or does it appear that the GC strutbar will not fit with this kit? Those sure do look like GC camber plates to me

I'm pretty sure it's the sprintex 210 (0.94 litres).

Taken from one of Innovate's youtube videos.
"I want to apologize to the community for our lack of communication. We are working day and night on the validation of our new supercharger kit. We are making progress, but nearly as fast as we originally projected. I will work towards providing the community with a new useful update shortly (within the next 5 business days). Until then, thank you so much for your interest." |

Just passing along the information for people to see, I'm also kind of bummed that they made empty promises. We'll see if they deliver this time.

I've gone on to another project. If they make good on this, we'll see.
As it is, Bullet has shown that 237rwhp is possible with a production tune. And Visconti has stated a tabletop torque curve is possible. |

I heard from my friend who at an event where innovative was there and they were not claiming horsepower number, but very usable power. My friend suspect poor number. Supposedly it put a good time at the track event the car at.
