I've given up all hope on this fantasy supercharger/hood.

Maybe there will be more luck in resurrecting Gamma/GTM supercharger kits before RJ MFG ever gets a supercharger kit to market.

I liked the Rotrex supercharger kit and hope it makes a come back one day. With better customer service and a few tweaks; it has the potential to be a great kit.

Which will be released first, this kit or the GTM MHI kit?

:stirthepot:

I think that race is already over since some form of that kit did eventually make it to market and a few of us got one. =)

At least if this one falls flat it won't have jobbed quite as many people, though.

I heard its being ready to be tested ooo

I "heard" its "almost" ready* too last year.

RJM just got the new Whipple AX175 V3 in for final testing. The new unit is much more efficient and they will be trying new pulleys. Once this is complete the final parts list will be compiled, pricing set and numbers released for both Power and pricing.

A pre-order will be set as well once the numbers have been finalized. RJM has gone through several small revisions on the kit and havent publicized them as they are working to make this kit reliable, meets expectations, easy to install and budget friendly.

The kit will come with a Tune for both Ecutek and Uprev. It will be a tune that you can run on 91 or 93 octane. It will be set for 500+whp out of the box. The goal is to maintain a 4 hour install time with hand tools in a garage with the car on the ground.

All the updates including pictures of the new supercharger are on facebook.

Pictures of the supercharger right out of the box.

Do they have a website that we will be able to pre-order from...?
Any idea if this is going to be CARB legal or nah?

Since it's so close to being done I'm wondering if I should still go through with the 928 motorsports upgrade or not on the current V3 SCi head unit T_T
I'm having a mobile mechanic come today to isolate the blower from the engine bay and bracket so I could send it in to 928 for the upgrade lol.

Either way, I will definitely pre order this whipple xD I think the v7 head unit idea I had a while ago is out the window for now :D

they are currently upgrading their website but its: rjmusa.com

As for CARB legal. Yes they will be persuing CARB status for the kit. This was one of the hurdles they were facing and changes being made to accomodate. they will release non CARB first and then CARB version after independent CARB testing and approval.

4 hour install time?! Wow

Man....
This is super exciting.
What do you guys think the ballpark pricing will be? xD

I would say 10-10.5k give or take. They are still finalizing certain parts and negotiating with suppliers. The best part about this kit is that its designed to be scaled for Big power without changing a ton of parts.

Is that including the required hood? If not, cost on that plus paint?

I am doing the hood stuff independently and I am highly considering a bolt on hood cowl that has hidden hardware. It will be much cheaper and would allow people to put it on any stock profile hood of their choice.

So we are talking TT pricing. I realize this can be installed with out pulling the motor suppost to be able to be done in ones garage, but still!

What you get:

Fully CNC Parts *Not CAST*
Fuel System (injectors and pumps)
Supercharger able to scale to 1000hp+
Intercooler and heat exchanger able to support 1000hp+
Waterpump that will support 1000hp+ and last longer than 100k miles
All high end components and parts
And a tune!


With $10.5k TT kit you get a base kit with no fuel and no tune and no additional options.Plus you have 20 to 40+ hours of install time at $100+ an hour. and not capable of hitting 1000hp+.

So we have dyno results now! WOOT..PICS!!!!

Big talk. When we see this kit reach 1000whp from people not affliated with RJm and yourself then it’s legit, until then it’s all just paper weight. Good luck with this unit, I’m excited to see the fruits of you guy’s labor.

lol. those parts are rated to 1000+ but is that in WHP or crank HP terms :o

They have not released any numbers yet. Everything is spec’d for the end user not to have to rebuild the kit if they want to go big. The new 175ax V3 has already proven itself capable enough to flow the required CFM to make 1000hp+. The intercooler was designed in conjunction with bell intercooler a for applications reaching 1200whp+. The heat exchanger also from bell intercoolers was codesigned to support 1200whp+. The meizere water pump is 100% billet and spec’d to support up to 1000whp+.

No one has posted any final numbers on the kits capabilities. The new V3 was purchased specifically because of its added efficiency. The unit in the picture is a High Pressure unit capable of well over 20psi. With the right engine setup there is no question in my mind that it will hit 1000hp+. There is already a car at RJM getting the stage 2 kit once testing is done. Fully built motor and 7at trans! The car already has the suspension setup for drag racing.

Wish this would of been a rotrex kit... it probably would have been done by now

Rotrex don’t flow enough CFM for what we want to do.

The new Rotrex C38R actually looks pretty nice. I believe it's a direct replacement for people with the GTM kits.

Well I'm in no way affiliated with rjm and I've thrown everything possible at this project including the kitchen sink so hopefully we'll see what this kit is capable of when my car gets done. I'll definitely be posting the dyno results for all to see no matter what the outcome is

When do you get your car back?

His car will be at zdayz.

O I know. We talked last year when your were getting your car tuned before z days. I’m wishing you the best of luck and this kit produces and doesn’t give you any issues

Is your car going to be there?

Yes it will.

This year?
 

So will your car finally be ready for ZDayZ this year since the whipple wasn't ready for last years?

Yes it will be there but it will be the stage one kit. After zdays the car goes back to rjm so they can install my 4.3 block and upgraded trans.

Where did you get your upgraded trans from?
A level10 trans or from somewhere else?

Yes his car will be there. He will be running the preproduction stage 1 kit. After zdayz he will be upgraded for the stage 2 kit.

Not exactly related, but how many years in advance do you need to book zdayz? The wife tried to book us in July and everything on site was booked already.

Sent from another dimension.

You book on the way out of the door on the last day of ZDayZ.

Actually, you get put on a waiting list if you go to the Hotel desk before you leave Zdayz. If an opening comes up, they go down a list of folks. I was lucky enough last year to get that call. I layed my deposit down right then. I will pay my deposit for next year before I leave.

I'm trying to get moved up to the swimming pool. Have to wait for someone to die to get one of those rooms.

It's the rjm upgrade that they will be offering to the 7at guys..

Do you know a price for the upgrade on the 7A yet, or what all it entails?
