Since there has been alot of talk about superchargers recently, after reading the thread about fitting one to an NB and with FFS becoming a club sponsor, thus increasing my curiosity I have been giving a supercharger some thought, but I do have questions and would love some reveiws of what the finished product (not nescesarily FFS supercharger) is like to drive from people with experience. So here come the stupid questions.

1. What bits am I going to need? other than the kit itself? ie Diff? etc... Im a little bit dubious thinking that the standard diff will cope with the extra torque.

2. The gains in power and torque suggest approx 40% is that realistic?

3. How does fitting a supercharger transform the driving of the car?

4. And finally the all important question, how large a hole will it leave in my pocket.

1.It will run fine on a stock engine with nothing added. The stock clutch will last until you do a drag strip start. If you road race or AX the car, the clutch will last quite awhile. Necessary items to chenge, none. Recommended things to change, clutch and radiator.

2. The Coldside kit takes you from a typical 110WHP to a etpical 190WHP. That is a gain of 72%.

3. The Coldside lets it drive like stock with a V6 under the hood.

4. Chris will have better numbers for costs in $AUS. In $USD it is $3695 plus shipping.

I hope Chris gets a chance to give you guys a ride when it is done.

Guys, I just read this thread from start to finish and was surprised with the unexpected twist in page 6 to break up the tech talk

wow warpspeed, you must need a pretty big ladder to get down from that high horse you're on!

we're not ALL engineers you know. a lot of the tech talk is over our heads, and we can't make heads or tail of it.

doesn't mean we're not interested in it :roll:

i haven't been involved in this thread til now, but thought i'd post this, as your arrogance is simple astounding.

Yeah to coin a phrase from Wayne's world 2 obviously "We're not Worthy, we're not worthy, we're no worthy!" :roll:

It's obvious you know what your taking about, and I didn't hear anyone disputing that (I have certainly yellow carded myself from making any further tech comment on the kit(s) discussed). No need for the "wow i'm so cool" comment though...
