Supercharging

[Grennan]

Ok, Ive tried posting in the Raptor Forum but with no reply im comming here.

Im looking at Supercharging my VR down the track, after i get the usual mods done such as CAI, Exhuast, Extractors and whatever else i come across.

Im just looking for some advice from anyone who has experience with superchargers or anyone who can give me a bit of advice on how to go about it.

Some of the questions i have are:

What PSI could i safely run on a 230,000 k engine?

What brands do you recommend/where do i look for a reliable S/C?

How much will it all cost?

Plus any other advice you can offer me.

Hey Clair... if you are going to put a supercharger on a vehicle with such high K'z... you better of doing a basic rebuild before hand, that way you'll atleast kno everything is sweet inside... you cant guarentee if thats been 200 000+ k's of hell from another p plater or older hoon, and 200 000+ k'z of an old man driving it that gets it servised every 5000 k'z... better of doing the rebuild then applying a supercharger and 5 months down the track u smash ur heads or something to pieces... works out better for u in the end cheers Mr.RB30ET!

I was looking at this page last night:

Particularily at the Stage 1 SC, 7 PSI. I havent had any problems with my engine at all no leaks etc. Its probally overdue for a service at this point but yeah. When i get a job and start modding, the first grand or two will be definalty getting the cars little niggly problems looked at.

How much are we looking at for a "basic" rebuild?

PS. My name isnt Claire, thats the cars name
