Hey guys... Im starting my "SC Funding"... So Im getting in range of buying a sc. (Prbly this summer I will have enough coin) Keeping that in mind, I want to start learning now about it. Pully's, Bov's... and How to get the most manageable PSI out of it. Do you guys have any tips? Site? or any useful "literature" that i might read? I want a turbo, but I figure it would be better if i started off with the Stillen SC before I got a turbo. It really makes me mad that stillen wont come out with a turbo! Only thing that holds me back is I heard turbo's take like 14 hrs to install and etc.,. As far as the installation goes, Im going to get one of the local racing shops to install. Additionally, Im going to ask them if I can watch and learn... Sound good? hehe

 

check out the tech write-up of superchargeronline.com
howstuffworks.com have a good intro on how how SC works.


you can do your own stillen SC install....I would suggest you to jump in and do it, because there are more to come after you install the SC.

 

How hard is it???

 

just by yourself? I would recommend to have someone with experience to wathc over your shoulder.

I would say the Stillen kit is 70% bolt-on.

 

my uncle knows' is a mechanical freak. He fixes up engines, rebuilds motorcycle engines, jet skii and car engines.. He'd be able to help me. How long would you estimate it taking?

 

Your first time attempting an install job of this difficulty & size?

At LEAST 20-25 hours.

 

damn. I thought turbo's took that long.....

 

Well taking the SC route is probably best for ya cause the turbo route takes a lot more research and time. That is i guess unless you buy someones kit and that is just more money. A supercharger can make your car real fast but then it hits it's limits and thats why the fastest max (mardigras) is going to turbo now that he is pretty much maxing out his SC capabilities. Hope this helps.

 

there is nothing smaller than 2.62 pulley for mardigras

 

werd. How much PSI max can we run on our engines?????? Would I be able to run 12?
