+6, oh how i would love to s/c my tib and reach 200whp

 

Why not?! 10-12 PSI, for our time, when there is a LOT of input on superchargers, years of experience and all the parts availibel.

Stock compression too. With the correct tuning, it is possible.

if it means buying crap, just to say that I supercharged... I don't want it.
Take the time, tune it right. To ask 3-4K's and not giving at least 200whp is funny to me.

 

i figure if you care about raw whp that much and you want bang for your buck then go with a turbo. if you want ease of instalation, ease of maintanence, lower end power with no lag, and the ability to say you are different than everyone else with a turbo then get this kit.

10-12 psi from a bolt on supercharger is asking alot unless you add other things to your engine, such as those mentioned before.

 

^^ I still say that I want the benefits of the supercharging. not raw numbers...

For me, paying 3-4K is not worthy, If I don't get decent performance out of it. I am aware of the Turbo option.


There is a way of supercharging to that point. (...). It simply requires more R&D .
If the tune will be correct, and not "almost", it is more than possible...

 

Sorry for the late reply guys, I've been really busy. We dyno'd a Supercharger on a 100% bone stock Kia Spectra with the BetaII engine. We hit about 6.5psi on the boost gauge at Redline. Stock it pushed 102WHP for a baseline. After the supercharger and Unichip install it now pushes a healthy 155-160WHP with 157TQ. Man what a difference. Keep in mind this was a 100% Stock engine and drivetrain. That means the super restrictive intake and exhaust system was in place. With a freer flowing intake and exhaust and additional 20whp is certainly possible.
We do have smaller pullies available that can push the boost to 10psi but haven't had a chance to test and tune one on a car. Keep in mind the Supercharger kit is designed to be 100% safe and reliable not too mention 100% bolt on. The Kit was originally designed to be offered as a OEM upgrade so nothing too radical was thought of. Going to 10psi will require a new clutch, and intake and exhaust.
The bottom line is this. I'm 100% certain that you could get at least 200whp out of this kit with the 10psi pulley and necessary additional modifications like intake, exhaust and new clutch. The problem is that we need a local RD owner willing to let us use his car to see what the kit can really do. This car will need at least a 2.25" exhaust and a decent cold air intake. We would need the car for a few weeks to tune the 10psi pulley and make sure its 100% safe and reliable.

 

Come on people, someone donate their car!!! fing02.gif

 

I've sent him the info for Tibbytib.

Still waiting for a call DMdicks.

 

Dude Id probablybe in when I eventually get the cash if it works out like it is supposed to be!!

 

Great news!

You are talking about the redesigned manifold, correct?

Is it water cooled?

 

dmdicks let me know if you really can't find anyone to volunteer for this in the area. I live just north of denver and maybe we can work something out, since she's my daily driver. I'm finishing up on replacing some damaged wires with some used parts to get her running again. It should be done soon so let me know end of the month if you've still got no one.

Currently just running 2.5" exhaust and AEM intake, no clutch.
