pics..

Here are the latest pics of the progress as of last week. We now have the supercharger unit completely mounted with the proper routing of the belt. We are very please so far with the outcome. Since belt slippage is one of the biggest challenges when designing a supercharger System, we feel that we have done a very good job with the amount of belt wrapped around the blower and the pulley system that we have designed for the kit.

So now we are moving to make the intake and all the piping.

Stay tuned

Sam

man, its like a damn maze..

NewYorkJon34 · 09-28-2009, 09:10 PM

Any projected torque numbers?

Zsteve · 09-28-2009, 09:11 PM

Any price range yet? I saw that the SC itself was like $3000+ on some web sites.

Also I see that stage one can go up to 500 HP but what is the number with just the SC and exhaust?

Buddy Revell · 09-28-2009, 09:40 PM

Thanks for the pics, Sam! Can't wait to see the piping and intercooler next!

If you go back a few pages you'll get an idea of the price range they are shooting for.

And yes, thanks for the pics! Can't wait to see the finished product. If I'm lucky maybe I'll be installing one of these next summer.

11's here we come.
Call me and let me know when I can have it.

And when you get yours, post a diary...document how hard you drive it, any other upgrades, etc.

My main concern is how much the 7AT can take. If it's stable w/ 500WHP, I'm SO there.

Same with the turbo kit, actually. Supercharger would be simpler, but, turbo is more crazy-happies.

OMG! there are pictures. GTM gets the stamp of approval...from all forced induction junkies

DannyGT · 09-28-2009, 10:49 PM

Nice work GTM! Put me in line for one of these please! I'm ready when you are...

&at should have no issues with 500HP. lots of tt G37's with no issues. plus the FX has same tranny and it hold the 390hp so 500 sould be very doable.

What do you suppose labor would cost on getting something like that installed / tuned?

Red370 · 09-29-2009, 07:35 AM

a shop around here will do it for 1-1.2k, i'd say thats reasonable, considering the install should take 8 man hours tops.
