Well I'm on my way to getting boosted. This is what I won;

It's actually a Mercedes M62 SC. Completely rebuilt/refurbished and like new with a warranty. Now for a few other bits before the install occurs.

you lucky dog man I was debating that myself you always seem to get what I am looking at. Congrats anyway but some good news on my end I found the KLZE motor for $799 and 148 shipping in a place in texas so I should be putting it in my mid October then on to the sc. Keep me posted on you progress.

Lol John, you're a nut I wanna take it for a spin when it's done.

keep us all posted with pix and step by step when ur installin it. id like to go super charger myself either that or turbo but lately im becomin a SC fan so this will be good for me to know how to install it

whats the max hp on that ?

Conservatively about 280 RWHP at about 6-7 psi. Nice thing is that IC is not required with this SC if it's kept under approximately 6-7 psi and it's clutch type so it's not always full time boost. When engaged there's extra oomph right from the get go (lower rpm's) with no turbo lag. Much cheaper set-up too, I can't imagine what Steve has sunk into his, but he's mentioned it's a lot. I think at any more than 6-7 psi I'd be looking at greater expenses wrt IC, stronger axles and stronger internals etc. Still want to maintain that everyday streetability aspect.

looks good. I got the same one last week for my setup

ok what do u all mean by ''whats the hp rating on that?'' what does this mean?

hp rating is what the supercharger can hold up I assume? Hey post some pics!! I was also looking to boost my kf with a similar set up.

Very nice, Where are you going to put it, AC? what are you plans for fuel, plus clutch control? you will need some sort of standalone to activate it at a specified throttle position...

nice setup

It'll be configured something similar to this. Of course this is on a probe with less space between the fender well and the disty so install shouldn't be too difficult.

That is a roots supercharger, and I was under the impression that the throttle body must be placed before the compressor for these kind of SC's because they are "fixed displacement" SC's.

I see that others have used these SC's before (like in that pic) and the TB seems to be still in the stock location. How do they manage this?

Like the roots, the throttle body must be placed before the compressor because it is a fixed displacement supercharger.
