Hey Aaron, are you asking about mine?

Is there an easy upgrade to this kit for more power without sacrificing reliability? I think people have mentioned a pulley and impeller upgrade? Is there a general consensus safe upgrade to boost the stock kit's power? I'm not looking to upgrade to e85 right now.

If you don't want to upgrade to e85 then you're limited to 91 octane and the amount of boost you can run without detonation. Which is somewhere around 13 psi. You're best off with the 9lb pulley upgrade

Water/Meth injection and the Si impeller if you do not already have it.

Can I run just the si impeller and 9lb pulley without water/meth injection? About how much power would that add?

How much boost are you making right now? I saw in your signature that your car's making 488whp. You're currently making that with the Sci impeller in 91?

brucelidat · 10-21-2021, 09:59 PM

Stock kit installed and tuned by seb at specialty z. I think I'm making 9 lbs.

You should be able to run the Si impeller and the 9lb pulley without water/meth. I ran both of those on Topgunz's gen 1 kit tuned by Seb. 488whp on the Sci and 8lb pulley that you're running right now is a great number on 91. You should do real well with the impeller and pulley upgrade

Reliability will still be good? I might email Seb and ask about it, see how much it would cost and if he has any thoughts. Kind of tempted by 2 piece lightweight rotors also.

Reliability will be fine. You may have to send the sc to vortech have the impeller installed. I don't think they'll sell just the impeller. Seb has done 3 sc upgrades on my car. I started with the Si impeller and 9lb pulley but I was on flex fuel. My car will be going to Seb soon for a FI tt install.

Fuel trims should be within 20% roughly. If you see 75s or 125s, don’t drive. Ignition corrections should be at a minimum.

I'd assume you'd be fine as long you stay out of boost. I was pretty impressed with how my base tune from Seb was.

This should be moved here...Topgunz full supercharger kits!!

Otherwise, people will assume you are going from stillen kit to A2A vs. fullly new forced induction kit.
