Doesn't need colder plugs at this level, and yes, it comes with a bypass valve.
Thank you! You have no idea how many times i've asked this question but it seems to get overlooked.

I also realized you guys are local to me in the SGV. I'll be paying you guys a visit soon.

The engine is N/A so there is no bias about members flogging you if you take the SC route as there is with cars that are available in Turbo format from factory like the SW20 MR2.
So there is an open mind. But the correct info needs to be explained because ill tell you that if a turbo is doing 7 psi it will run circles over the SC.
THERE IS SO MUCH IMPATIENCE. Why is everyone in such a hurry ? To be first ?
Why are you so bad at writing? Your posts are (poorly) written to the point of coming across as ignorant, angry whining even though you ARE making good points.

I'm wonder based on cfm flow of this engine will the super charger speed be helped with a efficient exhaust and header system. Seems like the better the engine breathes the lower the boost that's needed to make X power. Do we know the HP potential of this kit?

Thats the beauty of a SC , maximize the flow exhaust, cat , muffler will net higher figures.
Also you will experience lower IAT's because of the flow ( and cooling effect )as there is less residing time in the camber because of less restriction.
Unlike a turbo

I'm thinking a borla Header and a crossover pipe will make this thing a complete beast. I'll have to check with Visconti first and make sure there's enough fuel left on the stage 1 for that though. In the end I'll have it because I plan on going E85 and flex fuel. Forced induction just loves E85 and make the motor less likely to detonate.

Yes, the STG1 kit I'm selling will be able to handle exhaust mods with no problem.

Good to know there's some fuel left for these kinds of mods.

Thanks

Sorry guys. It appears I am not able to check in nearly often enough to keep up.

A ventilated gear case assembly eliminates any potential internal pressure issues, and has internal gearcase baffling for proper oil control.

Oil change intervals at 7,500 mile increments, after the first required oil change at 2,500 miles.

We do not experiment with bleeding off pressure using a wastegate, so I would be able to assist with something of this nature. Our Engineers believe that making the compressor work harder just to bleed off pressure is counter-productive from an efficiency standpoint.

What you are describing is more reminiscent of a twin-screw supercharger, not a centrifugal.

Absolutely. The V-1, V-2, V-3, and V-7 superchargers all share the exact same gearcase dimensions, so barring clearance issues on some of the larger units, they should all be direct drop-in replacements for the V-3 H67BC unit included in the FR-S/BRZ systems.

For example 1 Pulley setup for 7 psi at 7400 rpm and makes 4-5 psi at 4000-5000 rpm
example 2 with waste gate: pulley for 12 psi at 7400 rpm and makes 6-7 psi at 4000-5000 rpm, but have the waste gate regulate it at 8psi like a turbo setup.
Is this even possible? Sorry If I don't make any sense.
Yes, this is possible. However, as we would not experiment with wastegates or bleeding off boost in house, I would not be able to assist you with accomplishing such a task. Perhaps one of the aftermarket tuners may be willing to experiment with this theory, but we would not. Our standpoint is that accurately matching the compressor and pulley combination to the application for safety and efficiency is the primary goal of our systems.

That is why our reputation for safe, reliable complete systems is universal throughout the automotive aftermarket. However, once the complete systems are released, we will immediately submit the system for CARB approval.
The downside with the Air Resources Board, is that even after passing all the testing procedures, getting the processed paperwork for the E.O. after the fact takes an ever increasing amount of time. Our 2011+ Mustangs systems passed in early February last year, and we did not see the E.O. paperwork back from them until late November. These systems will get there, but it just takes time.

Colder spark plugs are not required.

We absolutely include a bypass valve with the system that is open at all times when you are not in positive boost pressure.

Can you answer the questions i asked ?

Why are you underdriving the SC ETC

We aren't underdriving the supercharger, we are leaving room for people to go more aggressive if they wish. If we maxed the compressor out right out out of the box, there would be no room for people to increase boost without changing the compressor. Whether doing so by raising rev limits, changing pulleys, etc., people will want to increase the boost. If we made a system with absolutely no boost upgrade, no one would buy it. Even if people have no intention of raising the boost, they still subconsciously need to know they can before they buy.

We made that mistake in the past on our Lexus IS300 system...as soon as people found out there was no pulley swap option for boost upgrade, it killed the sales of that system. Even though the system made great power out of the box, and there were other compressors they could have upgraded to, it didn't matter. That system was instantly D.O.A. We have the extra impeller speed buffer for that reason - so people can go a little more aggressive if they want without having to swap compressors. For those enthusiasts that want even more...we have that covered too, but will require a compressor upgrade (and we have lots of options there).

So if you are able to swap out the supercharger unit for more power, you will have to upgrade the intercooler. What are the available solutions for that?

If I buy this now, living in Cali, and it gets its carb approval do I just get the paperwork later.. Or do I have to wait for it to be approved first.. I'd like to get it now, but the fines are stupid for non approved carb parts..
