Hey guys I am looking for a supercharger for cheap. Do you have any sugestions? I am thinking about the vortech SQ-trim supercharger. I am looking to spend like 1500 on a kit. If you have any sugestions or know any one tell me.
Going to have to buy used if you only want to spend $1,500. Dont forget about the other upgrades you will need as well if they dont come w/ the kit such as injectors and a fuel pump ( sometimes are included in the kit) and a matching Mass air meter w/ the injectors. Dont forget that it would also be nice to have a boost guage as well. I think currently the Vortech S-trim is the cheapest well build quality blower on the market as far as wanting to get one for cheap and not giving up quality.
yep, get the sc-trim for your budget. Just be careful, because a lot of times installing it will nickel and dime you with other costs to support the power.
Thanks Guys. I dont care if I have to buy a used one. I just want one that is good, and isnt cheap **** that will break on me in a month. Also I am looking for one that is quiet.
Powerdyne is the quietest b/c is had an internal belt drive rather than gear drive, like paxton/vortech. However, this belt drive is known to break. I have the vortech s/c, use a power pipe and get about 7 psi w/ the stock pulley combo. It added a ton of power and is definately worth it. I plan to send the head unit back to vortech for a upgrade to a s or sq (super quiet) in the future. The total cost is about $800 to do so. I would strongly suggest you buy a new setup since there are so many tiny nuts and bolts that it is next to impossible to buy a complete used setup, not to mention the warranty. My main reason for purchasing the S/C was the price and also I already had, or did not like, some of the stuff included in the S trim package. Here is a pic of my supercharger setup:
Items I purchased when doing my supercharger:
1. Vortech S/C kit
2. Crane HI-6 ignition
3. Bosch bypass valve
4. Anderson power pipe
5. Vortech - polished discharge tube
6. Pro-M mass air for S/C setup
I already had prior to S/C purchase:
1. 30lb injectors
2. 255 LPH pump
