top mount supercharger

[shanhsv]

I've been greatly interested in the top mount supercharger from yella terra but everytime i got into the web site it tells me i have to try again later because its being updated or something,how do i find the price

[TappetHead]

Yeah sorry m8 the website has been down for ages but it's up again now.
Prices won't be on there though. not in the public section anyway.
The V8 kit is $5890.00 and has everything you need to fit.
Cheers.

[shanhsv]

Thanks mate,thats gold,i'll be working towards getting that next year(must get other things first).How would i get it make 300kw+.

[TappetHead]

300kw+ is version 2 with bigger blower. Stay tuned

[walesy]

yeh im pretty interested in this.. what psi would the kit you mentioned be running? does that have a cooler it in? if not how much extra for a cooler kit? what else do you get with this kit?

[TappetHead]

The current kit runs 8psi using a 1.5ltr Terracharger and most make around 180-190 RWKW on standard engines. It has two auxilary injectors that spray into the rear of the supercharger and that helps to cool the charge. The kit comes with a Microfeuller to drive the two injectors and it runs indipendantly from the factory ECU. We have done a couple of custom intercooler kits for them but have not made it a "product line" as such. The kit comes with everything you need except a free flowing exhaust system. We have one pulley size smaller than the 8psi and they usually make 11psi-12psi. You need to lower the comp and improve the fuel system to run more than 8psi boost tho.
Bigger throttle body and cold air intake help maximise the kit too.
Cheers.

[walesy]

ok cheers for that... whats your website so i can go have a browse through

[shanhsv]

once the 300kw+ come in,let me know because i dont want one that sits to the side like a turbo.

You missed it at the dyno day Mark but a stock VP clubsport with the TerraCharger kit ran 215rwkw which was good.

[TappetHead]

215rwkw Hell yeah.
Specially on Scotty's dyno which is known to be a bit on the "not so generous" side compared to most others.

i looked at their site last night, all the ones i saw were top mounts.

Mark is the stage 2 kit likely to use a M112 or a W200AX/W200R?

[TappetHead]

Dave.
It will most likely be the W140AX.
the same compressor we use on the Ford BA kit that after only a few weeks on the market is making numbers in the high 300rwkw.
Yella Terra is now the Australian agent for Whipple superchargers and we keep thier compressors on the shelf.
Have you heard the expression "Kid in a candy store"

Welcome to the house of "more fun" LOL

I would of thought the 140 would of been too small for a healthy 8, but having seen the BA in action I guess not
Having talked with Cuckcoo I think I have a ruff plan in place. I'll have to crunch numbers with you so I know what i'm aiming for.

[TappetHead]

Nah Dave the W140 is 2.3ltrs, a big jump up from the Terracharger at 1.5ltrs, and the screw type is more efficient than the roots type too.
If you end up with one you'll have to change your signature.
You'll be "Howlin" not "roarin"

[AirStrike]

Will this be using the W2A cooler like on the L67's? What size/psi pulleys are available to suit the W140?

[TappetHead]

Bonnet clearance is a bit more of an issue with the V8's, so cooler options may be limited.
We make all the kits so they take the same pulley offset. That way any of the pulley sizes available can be used on any of the kits, same goes for the drive snouts.

Me personally wouldn't care if I have to have part of the blower out of the bonnet, as long as I can cool it. At a guess from the top of the valley to the top of the blower how high would you say it will be if its cooled?
Good to hear about the pulleys.

[TappetHead]

We have to do a new inlet manifold so if we can make it sit lower we should be able to run a 30mm thick intercooler core and stay under the bonnet.
The other good thing is the bonnets that are available these days with bulges in.
You can always double up W2A coolers if you really want it to sit higher.

[walesy]

i reckon it looks good with it popping out the top just a tiny bit...

whats the pros and cons between top mount and side mount? from what ive seen the side mount kits seem to get more kw, not that that is important to me im after tourque, but is there a reason for that or are they the same? id much prefer the look of a top mount any day..i know what the internals of both look like but just wondering if they have different affects then the other?

[TappetHead]

The big difference is the boost pressure for the RPM. The side mount blowers are usually centrifugal and the boost increases with the rpm where as the top mount are possitive displacement and the boost pressure stays the same. So comparing one to the other, a top mount tends to run less boost at high rpm and more boost at low rpm.

[walesy]

oh ok then so the top mount would have more tourque off the line but the side mount is higher in the rev range?

[krazyboris]

Im already running a factory fit m90, just curious how easy it is to upgrade to the "push-on" 10psi pulley (with the tool on the webbie as well of course).

Also, does it come with a revised belt?
and finally, if you could give me some prices on these, that would be great:-

10psi push-on pulley
Pulley change tool
revised belt

Thanks guys.

P.S, I was recommended to you guys buy my uncle, who around 20 years ago was using your products, hows that for keeping it in the family!

[AirStrike]

I would rather run with part of the blower out of the bonnet and have the cooling power of the TT then have it under.
Have you with either the Whipple's or M90/112's tried HPC coating them at all?
I'm slowly piecing all this together looking at the Whipple on a low comp 355.
