Just want some pop and bang !

 

I'm not too sure of the price, but Loi mentioned it's a nice kit. I'm sure after fab and finishing it'll be pricey. Expect 90-130whp bump on 93 oct.

Loi can already flash LCs to do this. He set mine up to pop between 4200 and 5000 rpm if I hold it there.

 

I spoke to Loi via facebook and was told the supercharger adds about 100 HP with 93 octane.

 

That's not horrible. About $80/whp (kit only); about $180/whp (installed). For reference here's a list cars showing for $/hp.

Considering most LCs sold new around $100k and stock whp is around 405 according to my dyno, that's ~ $247/whp.

Let's say it's an additional $10k to have the supercharger kit installed and tuned so we're at $118k / 505whp ≈ $234/whp

Here's my $/hp calculation for stock and on e85:
I bought my LC used for $57k with stock 405whp so ~ $141/whp

Ethanol content analyzer, fuel lines, and install cost me about $1000
Tuning and dyno cost around $1000 for me at the time
For e85 - $59k total producing around 440whp ≈ $135/whp

According to the D-List I could have gotten a GR Supra 3.0 for similar money/hp - not too shabby, I prefer the LC over a MKV Z4upra.

If I go for the supercharger kit at $8k hardware + $10k install + $59k liberally estimating 550whp ≈ $140/whp
Could be worth it... much much later on.

 

Are you kidding me?

100 rwhp for $8000 is extremely inexpensive!

 

I'm sure they could turn up the boost and upgrade the crank pulley but you'd lose reliability then

 

If the boost is increased, and the tune is also upgraded and is perfect, the engine will be happy.

However, as you noted, then you'll have to start worrying about the reliability of the drivetrain.

 

6+ month update. No issues yet, power feels the same with my fuel content averaging e83. It’s easy to re-flash to stock. I’ve taken the car into service a few times now with the tune and it’s either undetectable or they don’t care.
min about a month or so I’ll be on the dyno again to test high spark Japan coil packs. Stay tuned.
