some guys at my work were talking about fitting superchargers to vn commodores, then i told them "nah mate just run a hose off your air con to the airbox for some cold air induction"

Im yet to see under their bonnets to see if the silly pr!cks have done it! :lol:

HAHA

Mate, you'll be in the crap when they find out it doesnt work.... and they will NEED to try it.... to find out :wink:

Maybe you should remind them that racing bicycle tyres hold 100psi.... so maybe they should connect a bike pump to their inlet.... 100psi WOW!!!!


But getting a bit more serious....

If 2.1psi is the max you can get out of it.... well.... say no more. You can get a better power increase by leaving the spare tyre at home. This modification is FREE.

Turbos are easy to find at the moment. And cheap.
Superchargers are very scarce. You'll need to find a friend in Japan if you want one :wink: Trust me on this... Ive already found out the hard way. :cry:

i dont have a subscription..

sometimes at work it works though.. must be because a couple of people here have subscriptions and autospeed must use site to calculate logins.. not certificates

pretty snazzy

I would reccomend a Turbo at the moment, simply because superchargers are hard to come by and getting overpriced.

There are a couple I know of in Adelaide (City Dismantlers.)
.... but the prices are way too high.... cos they know there are none available anywhere else :wink:

BUT... I do know of a BMW Mini supercharger for sale, which has done only a handfull of KM's.... And there is a coversion kit available in the UK to fit it to your car too 8)

IF.... and I mean IF.. you find a supplier for your SC12, and it costs you less than 400 bucks...PM me. Adelaide has NONE. I am currently asking some friends who travel to Japan to find one for me, but theres nothing available yet. :evil:
