a GM engineer pulled it off the car before it was crushed. yay!

but now I have to bypass the stupid electronic throttle. If only I could figure out how to get megasquirt to control that!

[1993Q]

I have a 93 Q non-active. I just recieved a VH45 engine out of Japan and looking to supercharger it. Where is there an available supercharger application in the market? I am also looking to get ahold of an Eibach pro-kit for my car but found that they are discontinued. Can somebody help me out here?

Supercharger- Wes, (elwesso), is the man to email. He has a connection for one. I seem to remember something around $3-4k, but I could be mistaken.

Eibach Springs- Good luck, your best bet is ebay or the forums.

[1993Q]

thx for the help - i'll shoot him a message and keep everybody update on the project - i will see if i can get some pics up soon here too

[elwesso]

I got your emali, however Im going to respond to it on the forum for everyones convenience....

The guy who is making this is a guy named Thomas Knight of http://www.boosthead.com .

His quote is 4500 for everything ready to go.....

[slownslurious]

mine will be a one off for mine so I don't think it could easily be duplicated.... complex machined aluminum spacers and a supercharger that is off a prototype and would be hard to fine the same identical one (even if production XLRV ones are the same its not like its something you can get out of a junkyard like the M90)

[1993Q]

i know millenium when they were in dallas said they could build one, thx for the response Wes - i'll check out the website and place an order, what kind of performance and quality have you heard of his product

im gonna have to do some suspension work on the car before i run it though, does anybody know where i can find a good suspension - i dont want to slam the car and would prefer the eibach set if anybody knows where i can get my hands on one

[1993Q]

i had some trouble browsing his website. what does he include with the package?

[elwesso]

You have to contact him privately. It includes EVERYTHING you need to bolt it onto the car, we may need to get you an ECU but thats not a big deal.

[1993Q]

what do you recommend on an ECU - stillen or jim wolf? should i stay with a 2nd gear start with the supercharger or go 1st gear ECU? I have 8 inch tires on the front and back but that rear end is still pretty squirrely.

[elwesso]

Dont go witha JWT or stillen ECU (theyre actually the same), ill hook you up with an ECU.

[1993Q]

cool, shoot me an email with the specs and contact information

[TBrack]

I haven't forgotten about this! Just waiting to get some spare time and a good shop to rebuild my engine and then getting the lvl 10 transmission and I'm good to go!

[Haitian_King]

Dude. Where did you get that kit?

That **** is sweet!

And that spolier is serious.

[SSDwellah]

I hate to ressurect and old thread, but how is this project coming along? Where can I get information on this?

Also I can't see the pics on the first page of this thread - they seem to be down though I remember seeing them a long time ago.

[SSDwellah]

BUMP... Wes Is there any new info on this? I know the price is prohibitive for some people, but I think you'd have more interest if the information was more readily available. I mean the pics on the first page don't even work anymore!

Weeeeeesssss...

[AntonZ32]

more bumpage, is ANYONE running an M90 on a VH45?

[trickedoutz]

So what has happen WES? Are you running a roots? Ive been trying to get all educated in SC a VH just seeing if any new activity since the 3 yrs this thread was started...

[gs14racer]

no one is running one to my knowledge. Only one was produced by thomas knight. Thomas knight can do them, i emailed him several months ago and iirc he wanted 2500 and you had to ship him an engine for mock up, i think he said it would take 4-6 weeks.

[Infinitiguy19]

There is a guy selling some superchargers along with other VH and Q stuff in the Infiniti Clasifieds section.

But $2500 only gets you the Super Charger, There is also the case of the ECU.
