K well this is my 1k VS that i bought off a good mate at the very start of the year and has been sitting on my lawn untill i finnally got off my arse and registered it last week. ATM its got the exhaust, rockers and suspension in. I have also got most of the parts for a manual conversion and as soon as thats in have a raptor supercharger that i will be installing. Had the manual and blower sitting at home for a good 3months now waiting to be installed. Cant wait to have it all in. Sorry dont have any pics of it lowered yet. Will give it a clean and get some 2moro

very tidy, but that looks to me like a turbo to me not a supercharger.... i may be wrong... just checking my knowledge

Its a raptor so its a supercharger.

Nice score for 1k, bargain. How come you got it so cheap?
Not a fan of the kit or any of that, but the blower and the manual, good work Bet you cant wait to get it on

Thats a bargain bro .. The raptor on that with the manual will be sick as a daily driver. . Next you will need a locker . .

Raptor are a brand of centrifugal style supercharger which is similar to the workings of a turbo. They both share a compressor wheel (seen in picture) but instead being driven by the exhaust the supercharger is driven by a belt from the engines crankshaft. The belt pulley would be mounted on the underside in that photo. Positive displacement aka roots superchargers are different altogether.

bittsa its deffinetly a supercharger. As for the locker i have been in contact with some people about getting a mini spool installed. I would also like some shorter diff gears but cant really afford them atm. Should have the mini spool in before the blower is on though.

AS for the price, a mate bought it for 9 then spent 4k on wheels tint steering wheel etc. He then broke the engine mounts, power steering, water pump and decided to buy a skyline so sold it to another mate for 2k. It sat on the other mates lawn for 8months before he decided to move to brissie and sold it to me for 1k.
