Bolt on kit... soo simple.

[SeVa-S13]

Can anyone ID that blower? The one from the VG33ER maybe?

[ILikeMy240sx]

so whos gonna be the guinea pig?

[Kenrik]

I think the blower is from a Xterra

[HashiriyaS14]

Holy ish, $1200 with no reserve and only 8hrs to go?

Someone here needs to jump on that.

[SeVa-S13]

More pics and details, along with a more professional-looking ad might help their cause. As jewish as the 240 crowd is, you gotta make sure you seem legit and safe before we break our piggy banks.

SPEEDLAB IS A KNOWN NISSAN SHOP HERE IN MIAMI.. GREAT PEOPLES. BUT I NEVER HEARD OF THEM MAKING A SUPERCHARGE FOR 240SX.. ITS BEEN A FEW MONTHES SINCE I TOOK MY 240SX TO BE WORK ON BEFORE

[chrislis]

do you guys really trust a kit that has one picture of an engine with no components of the supercharger or am i the only anal one on this site?

[Kenrik]

Yup speed lab is down there by Miami muffler also a very large and well known shop... I know people who know the guy who made this... it's completely ligit.

look at the lower intake n00b



See the belt/blower

[chrislis]

oh okay in that case i can't say it's that skeptical anymore. i thought it was just one of those whistler supercharger kits or something. in which case i would like to vomit all over them.

not to mention how are you gonna connect the upper radiator hose. hard to see from the pics but it looks like the adapter is in the way. i sure hope its a brand new charger. theres actually not much to it at all. just the charger itself and an adapter plate already made with idk what kind of tb. looks sweet and simple though. i dont know how theyre gona make a front mount for that though without changing alot of stuff. still cool to see more stuff for the ka. i dig it.

I think the FMIC might be for a dualcharged setup... I don't see how they would do it if it was not like that..

the radiator hose looks like it might be a tight fit but I think it would work.

[nvrplzd240]

sweet

[JesusLikesKFC]

seems pretty cool, wonder how much work it took to do that. probly not as mush as people think. i was checking out autotrader the other day seeing 32k for a STOCK vert. 28k for a s14sr with s13 blacktop.....i think its time to sell my baby and cash in!

[Rev-240sx]

I laughed at that. It's a roots charger, how can you not notice it!




I guess I'm just used to seeing them, having a gargantuan SC on my mustang and all.


EDIT- I forgot to mention, someone on here has a picture of a turbo'd supercharger setup somewhere, it may even be you, Kenrik, but I can't remember.

[TheOne]

doesn't look like a bad job, cept for the fact that you may loose your alternator(may have to be relocated to the other side, and either take out ps or a/c)

[slydin'240]

I remeber seeing that but the motor wasn't in the car do to fitment issues.

[240DRFT]

i wonder if theyve test fitted it cuz the intake tube looks like itd be close to the passenger side strut tower. and getting to the oil filter would now suck.

[kornaz]

If you look at their feedback, they bought several Eaton superchargers (it comes in Nissan Frontier, xterra) for $120, $100. Someone can make this themselves for a fraction of the price. No way worth $1200. The idea of dual forced induction is sweet though. I always thought about that.

[sflkouki]

I SPOKE TO SPEEDLAB THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SHHHHH JOB NOT TO BE READY FOR THE PUBLIC BUT THEY SAID THEY ARE WORKING ON THIS KIT AND WILL BE INSTALLING ON A 240SX IN WEEK OR 2.

[Rev-240sx]

Please remove your caps lock and place your hands in the air.


Slowly back away from the internet.

Oh ok.... you know a guy who knows the guy. That makes me feel safe.

Seems to me with the type of engine layout the KA has that you would want a centrifugel blower not a roots type. Damn that thing takes up some room and looks ugly to boot.

Can't wait for pics and videos though!

I wanna see this on the car in the engine bay!

[cory2081]

Looks like a good idea. The good thing about those Eaton blowers is that they are reliable and maintenance free. No oil lines to run or anything like that, and the whine you get at WOT is great. Now, if they just made an intercooler plated to go between the blower and the intake side like what is on the '03-'04 Cobras Looks like an easy bolt, and the low-end torque would be lots of fun!

[Florida240sx]

That plate is very simple to make. I've always though about putting the charger on the exhaust side. Never thought about removing the lower intake and bolting it there....

[Florida240sx]

Currently on Ebay looking for a SC. Time to play with the vert.

[Shift_Oversteer]

Im trying to convince my buddy to put it on his s14...

[xckid]

.... that doesnt even look like it would fit in the engine bay.

[240DRFT]

.... that doesnt even look like it would fit in the engine bay.

exactley what i was saying...it looks like a tight fit if it does. and changing your oil would now be 10 times harder

[91RMKS13]

There are 4 kits for sale. NICO should start a collection and buy them for 4 lucky members.

I got dibs on one.

[eds13]

45 mins left!!!!

[kouki-gymkhana]

SpeedLab is....I won't say more until they replace my RB25 intake camshaft that was broken while they were resurfacing the head for my motor or make some effort to compensate me for the damages.

[koukicody]

Step 1: let Speed lab do all the r&d and clearence issues
Step 2: find out how to do it for less than there selling it for

$1200 for that is ridiculous. brand new S15 bb turbos are like $700 something IIRC

[91RMKS13]

$1200 for that is ridiculous. brand new S15 bb turbos are like $700 something IIRC

(if it legite)How is 1300 for a super charger kit ridiculous? Go look at any super charger kit and find a better price. Sure you could get an S15 turbo cheaper than 1200. But try find a turbo kit that is less than 1200.

But I do agree I would wait for the R&D to be finished.

And I personally would try to fabricate a similar setup that on my own.

[DJButton]

Hmm, def still looks a lil sketch to me, I'd like to see it in action though, naturally.
