Default supercharged SC400

Complete supercharger kit for SC400 for sale !

Anybody interested ? Produces 400hp at wheels on low boost on stock standard engine and trans.Thats with stock headers too, my mechanic claims 40 hp plus at the wheels with extractors.
Its a custom centrafugil type, a 1 off!
Whats in the whole kit u ask? Everything! including tuned ECU. Its a complete bolt on kit. Still in my car and loving it the power is endless can get more but 400hp at wheels is plenty for me. The setup is tuned for boost to come in at low rpm unlike turbo's. Ok now your asking why im selling it well , putting 1 of these engine's supercharged in a street/drag car.


Any questions email me

Can the ECU be used on an American SC (different octane)?

any time you would make a modification such as this, you would have to have the ability to adjust the ECU to your car. The variables of Exhaust flow, intake flow, gas quality, engine condition etc would have to be taken into consideration. Would it work as a bolt on, more than likely, but you would want to fine tune for the best overall reliabilty.

Be careful, the twin computers in our cars are not adjustable. The have to be re-programed and burned once the final #'s are tuned. Japan superchargers are a dime a dozen, but we can't import them due to the fact that they use different octane and have different emission standards, so the thousands we are paying for the modified ECU is useless since it will not function over here in the states.

Unless somehow they have synched 2 standalones together, a computer from Japan/Australia will not work in an American version of the SC. Being as the seller lives in Australia, I am curious as to the computer/ignition system employed on his car.

I remember quite vividly when he began building the car (or at least when he intorduced it to the forum a while back). We never heard the final outcome of his project, didn't hear any details of the tuning, no dyno results, or #'s of any sort. Now he is selling the kit. We are merely being concerned and curious at the same time. I am desperatly looking for a SC kit for my car. If this is a viable option, I'd love to buy it. But there are just a few things that aren't adding up. There are several people on this board that are educated in the compression enhancement of the 1UZ. Read the SC forum and there are countless threads of the SC or TT install on a US version 1UZ engine. None are promising. If Blown SC has the Holly Grail, then his simple initial post is very odd; plus he never quoted a price. There are many questions left unanswered, that shouldn't have to be asked.

Keith, your perspective is well taken. We all are looking forward to a solution, which to date has not arrived.

Hope to have my care worked on soon, and will post results. The problem is work keeps geting in the way.

Jim, did you buy the kit? Or are you having a custom one made? Your last post sounds like you have one on the way.


Keep us informed of whats up.


Keith


P.S. Good luck

Sorry for the confussion. did not buy kit

I am about to have WeaponR redo my computer after all the modifications I have had done.

But first we need to evaluate the need for new injectors and fuel pump, ( very likely ), but have not had the time to get up to see Leon to make the finale determination and then a day at the dyno.

When all is done I will post the results and a list of what was done to get them.

Thennnnnnnnnn maybe NOS

Still looking and wanting a supercharger.

Thoughts, Our intake manifold is a two peice unit, the top being the runners.

Take the top off, create a mounting plate to bolt onto the bottom half, which would double as a mounting plate for a Whipple supercharger???????????.

The upper runners and the whipple supercharger are about the same size +- so might fit.

Just an Idea
