i know i brought this idea up earlier (maybe somebody did before me) and it's been a while...but i just watched some supra vids, and i want FI now.

have you guys thought about it? it got 55-60% gains. that's 168hp gain max. ridiculous. anyways, i think we can fit this centrifugal intercooled s/c in our engine bay. we would just have to find a pulley to run it off of. ideas? i'm thinking about getting the core ($400) and seeing if i can get it to fit, and if so, i might get it. if there's anybody in austin that knows enough to mess with it, i wouldn't mind putting the 400 deposit down to try. let me know whats up, and opinions are always welcome of course. later.

I have a vortech V1 A trim supercharger that is just waiting to go into my 99 TL... It is supposed to put out 10 PSI and 720 CFM @ 40,000 RPM(supercharger RPM)

I'm getting aluminum mounts done soon. I will be PM'ing scalbert and allmotor soon to ask about the fuel issues since they have both had experinece with fuel problems.

 

You can get anything to fit. However, you had better have one of the following services; access and knowledge in machining, CAD experience with CNC access or about $2k - $3k to pay for fabrication. Even with doing the fabrication yourself I would expect about $1000 in rare material since there will be scrap.

There is more to it that just a pulley hook up and bracket. Take some lessons learned by the Comptech SC kit and know that there is no room on the accessory side to mount anything. This means that a jack shaft will be needed to run across the front of the engine.

So for this you need a method, such as Comptech uses, to gain the drive power with a dual alternator pulley. You will need a mount and bearing for the pulley side along with a tensioning mechanism. The shaft will need another bearing and mount on the blower end. Now you need a mount for the blower.

This doesn't include the plumbing required especially if an intercooler is involved.

As for fuel, use the Comptech FPR; it would be fine up to about 8 PSI boost. Don't forget about the fuel pump too as the stock unit is no where close to being adequate.

Lastly, good luck, it is not easy but may be fun nonetheless.

 

try asking protech and seeing who they can suggest.

 

lol. protech? i refuse to ever go there again. i know they're good work. but who the hell tries to charge 650 bucks to install some gdamn headers? seriously.
