TopsVR6 0 Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 What are the characteristics like after supercharging? Does it loose any of the smooth delivery and what kinda fuel consumption am i looking at on a sensible motorway trip? I use my VR6 daily and am 99.9% made up on the supercharger route.

mightyvr6 0 Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 Power is v. similar to standard up to 3k then it builds strongly towards the redline. The delivery is the v smooth like standard if it's set up properly (with the maf upstream of the charger). Mpg is not too bad and 30 is achievable on motorway journeys.

simey 0 Posted May 30, 2005 Report Share Posted May 30, 2005 As mightyvr6 said its smooth if set up properly but if you've got a heavy foot don't expect over 20mpg :| Link to post Share on other sites
TopsVR6 0 Posted May 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Cheers guys for the useful info. Do any of you know much about the fella's at Storm Developments? I live in the southwest so i guess nik saran will be the best bet. Link to post Share on other sites
antera309 3 Posted May 31, 2005 Report Share Posted May 31, 2005 Shail, the group buy thread on the ~280BHP C2 Motorsport Supercharger kit (direct from the US) is still active. They're just looking into a way around the VAT at the moment and if they're successful this will be great value for money. The group buy price they're offering is $3599 (about Link to post Share on other sites

antera309 3 Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Provided that NS Racing can honour their warranty in the event of any problems, then sourcing from them is indeed the better bet.The VF-E kit is safer for fitting to a stock engine too.The price is for the parts only, but it is a complete kit designed for DIY fit and has everything you need. There's no need to interfere with the engine, i.e. head does not have to come off etc.Oil feed just uses a screw-in adapter for the oil pressure switch hole and the oil return taps into the sump. Belt mounting replaces the stock belt tensioner and the rest of the work just involves installing the intake tract. Fitting the included chip is straightforward if you have an ECU with a plug-in EEPROM, if you have a soldered EEPROM it is a professional job.I'm sure Vince could do us a good rate on fitting if there were a few of us. It might be worth you giving him a call. Link to post Share on other sites
antera309 3 Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Uprated engine mounts are also recommended when supercharging, as the extra torque can give the standard ones a hard time... Link to post Share on other sites
