Area 51 makes a CL supercharger

i ran into a guy at the street races a little while ago and he said A51's supercharger for the CL-S was finished. I've been trying to locate a number to call them but haven't been able too. They do alot of work on IS300's

Area 51's claim to fame is that they are "custom fabricators". I'm sure they would be glad to put together a custom blower installation for you. Unfortunately the cost would be between 5 - 6K, and they would need to keep your car for at least a month. That would be a turn-key price, including the supercharger (they are currently using a prototype Borg/Warner unit), all the custom piping, custom mounting brackets, engineering time, Greddy programmable ECU, dyno tuning (they have their own), and some kind of after cooling setup. The question is how bad do you want a supercharger?

too bad that isn't far off from the assumed cost of the comptech SC.... Might be worth it.

To me H/E/I are the only mod's worth doing (sorta, the headers are WAY too $$$ because they don't sell enough of them).

Anything else and your playing russian rulet with your tranny. Buy a different car to mod... So many others which can produce more HP at a lower cost, and more reliably...

well i bet theirs would have more power than comptechs.. If they are going to have to fab it anyway why not get a turbo ? I wish I had a six speed righ about now I our cars had more resale I would go and trade this slushbox in w/the quickness...
just thinking about it makes me sad
lucky ass 6 speed owners
