going to install a supercharge

[oi138]

WELL FIRST THING I ONLY WANTED I LITTLE MORE POWER TO DRIVE EVERY DAY AND ALSO TO PREVENT ME FROM TURNING UP THE BOOST WHICH I KNOW I'LL DO................P.S I TOOK IT FOR A DRIVE TEST YESTERDAY TOOK IT TO 105MPH IN THIRD THEN INTO FORTH THEN FLOORED IT AND WAS ABOUT TO PASS A SUV THEN HE CHANGED LINES ON ME AND I HIT HIM IN THE SIDE BUT I DID MY BEST SO THE DAMAGE WAS NOT ALL THAT BAD SO I'M FIXING THE VEHICLE BY WEEKEND SO I'LL GIVE IT A NEXT TEST DRIVE SOON

What kind of gears are you running because the stock gear ratio will only allow for 90 mph or so in third.

my engine is in a nissan hardbody

[NateDogg]

is that why there is no power steering in the way of the 'charger belt?

[bedbull]

the sc is above and to side of the pump................ i'll soon tell u more when my vehicle comes out of the shop

[sixxdeuce]

If they made a roots type blower for our cars I think I would prefer that over an sr20. A blown 2.4 liter would be more fun to drive than a turbo 2.0. I like the more linear power curve of a super charger also.

[lilaznvietboi]

I want an supercharger too Jordan =P

[oi138]

When too much air is shoved into your engine, as you probably know, its likely for your floorboard to blow up and you will probably suffer a manifold failure.

ROTFLMAO!!!!"You never had me, you never had your car."

:chainsaw

[bedbull]

i think you guys are way off track anyway my vehicle is still in the shop soo.... you will hear from me soon as possible

[SloS13]

mmmmm Mach 1. I used to have one with a 351C. I loved that car.

Anyways, get some pics of your SC setup

[SloS13]

speaking of fiberglass. ive worked with it a tiny bit and had good results. (small project, less than 1' x 1')

would making a duplicate of a fender be something that you could pull off in a garage with like saran wrap, cloth and resin? With enough sanding, it would look like stock. hmm....

[oi138]

hey.. make me one. mines dented all to hell. lol j/k. i'll keep my heavy *** stock one.

[GELLIS2586]

Oh yeah bedbull sorry for getting off track good luck with the supercharger hope it all works

[SloS13]

Any rough ETA on some new news?

[sk8erguy1501]

Now where the hell are you gunna finda supercharger?

[bedbull]

i have yet to get my vehicle back from the shop soooo i can test it some more i miss driving it sooo much hopefully i will get it soon

[14.5drift]

I dont care if this thread is old I wanna know how bed bulls car turned out

[bedbull]

it looks like i am not getting my ride back for now the paint shop is giving me all kind of stories it looks like i will have to sue him to get it done anyway i'll let you know a.s.a.p

[14.5drift]

Do you have more pics from under the hood, Id like to see where you mounted the unit, and what type of unit you used, thanks.

[andrave]

I was thinking, the stock ka has **** loads of torque anyway. A roots style blower would give you even more down low but less up top. I would think a centrifugal with some stage 2 cams that would open the powerband up to redline would really scream.

[14.5drift]

I think the cintrifigal ( sorry for spelling ) is only one that will fit. But still be pretty cool. What you think about the powerdyne? No oil lines cause its belt driven, and none of that high pitch whine afiliated with the supercharger......Sleeper........

No he is doing this completely custom and most likely paying a lot for it.

PS - this looks good...I'm not planning on doing this but does anyone know about clearance issues in a 240? b/c he said it was in hardbody so there may be some differences which keeps us from doing it.

There was a thread about this at 240sxforums and as far as i know you are the first person to have a *running* blown KA.

[bedbull]

i'll try and go by the shop sometime this week and take some pictures

[Chezedik]

I am in KC, home of procharger, and I would like to influence these guys to build a kit. If anyone else is in, please visit the following website, and let them know what you want:http://www.procharger.com/suggest.shtml

[Chezedik]

Bedbull do you have any more pics? Did you figure out the high RPM issue? Has anyone gotten around to using the Rotex or any other charger to work? I would be interesting in anything anyone can give me.

[deezlins]

to combat the less boost at low rpm problem you could put a pulley on that would boost more and just vent the excesslike say you want 10psi, you could get a pulley for like 16psi or somethin and just vent the excess and it would make more boost earlier. it would depend on the supercharger as to what pulley and how much boost over and stuff to run, but ive heard of supercharger kits doing this

[Maverick7687]

Hey Maxpsi..have you heard any more about that Superchargers of Knoxville place?? I Live in Knoxville, TN and if I could find something else to drive I wouldnt mind letting them use my car for a minute...Do you know where it is in Knoxville? I would like to check it out anyways! Peace

[SunshineAcid]

deezlins:ive often wondered about that.i hear people complaining that you can only use pullies to control boost.why cant you overboost and run an EBC to control how much you boost.that way you can boost 7psi whenever you want and then set it at a race while in the car to 15?am i missing something there?

[huguetpj]

Superchargers don't have wastegates... so there is no thing for the EBC to control

[Chezedik]

Also, if you have been following the thread. You would probably overrun the corrolla super and shell it out by overboosting. I expected bedbull to come up with a new plan myself.
