Waste of time IMHO.

Autospeed tested one a while ago. Made 139kw at the wheels, and costs 7 grand for the kit.

American Dave 07-03-2008 03:22 PM

apparently this one will cost $4K but agree that it aint worth it if thats all its going make for you Joe.

They are claiming 65 - 80% power gains.

Imagine those results on the 06/07 Impreza R (with the JDM n/a 2.0L that make 100 and something kw)

65-80% gain at one specific point or across the board?

Easy to make 80% more power in a s/c application at 1500 rpm but 15% more at 5000rpm.

*Stockers* 07-03-2008 04:23 PM

Indeed.

Be nice to make a simultaneous application, my car could do with 85% gain at 1500 rpm... :P

why bother when they come factory turbo anyway, but good on em for trying

does anyone remember the yank kid who took off the turbo on his 05 sti and then supercharged it and made 35kw?

u can still run high boost and acheive massive amounts of power.

for just over $1200 i helped a mate supercharge an ej22 and ran some lowish boost through it and gove over 148 kw atw...and that was in a 4x4.....and for 1...i love the fact that you have all that torque when u need it down low...good for different applications....but for 7 grand would not be worth the paper its written on when they come out with turbo, especially not worth it if its just a road car...

oh yeah classic and farking funny thread LOL he spent a fortune on that project too!

i'm trying to remember the figures for my charged VR6, stock i think it was about 170hp
with the vortech i think it was putting down about 260hp this was pretty low boost with no head work apart from a slightly fatter head gasket...


Plus Supercharges Sound AWSOME... expecially in a normally uncharged car....
