2.7 vvti alpine supercharger pricing and performance numbers

Good morning everyone. I just received and email from alpine with pricing and performance numbers for the '05-10 2.7L.

$3650 retail or $3200 for first 10 ordered

211HP - 61.2% increase
242Ft/lbs torque - 39.6% increase
0-68 mph in 5.948 seconds - 46.6% increase


So who's first in line for this thing?

 

Group buy?

 

Impressive.

 

That is really impressive!

 

are those numbers besides the 0-60 to the flywheel or wheels. Im hoping the wheels

 

What all does the kit include? Would the engine need any additional work done to support the boost, and would I need a new ECU or does it come with a piggyback? I'm just curious if I would have to cough up any other cash for additional parts, or its a package deal with everythign needed. Sorry so many questions, but I'm actually quite serious about buying by the end of this month! I think after a Supercharger, for certain I'd be done!

 

Such a lie!

 

damn't....thats what i'm tellin the woman and i'm stickin to it!



even though we all know its bs.....

 

good god
i want it!

who did u ask?

 

Those are actually 0-68 mph runs, which is a considerable difference over 0-60 considering it is much harder to go from 60-68 vs, say, 40-48. Just thought I would point that out, if you didn't notice.

 

Wow, great offer. Wish I was in AZ.

Good looking out, Chris!

So is URD ever going to come out with one to compete with this kit? Does Alpine Developments have good reliability? I've never heard of them.

EDIT: The only real negative thing I came across about them was this: http://www.newtiburon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=126377

 

The numbers have to be to the wheels. If you do the math they're basing the claims off an initial hp of 130 and torque of 173. Factory ratings are 150/177, respectively.

 

oh man...i want one...has anyone gotten one of these yet?

 

I know one guy has one. I think he likes it but it was a PITA to install.

 

good luck with a GB. I have emailed John constantly trying to get it to go but never worked, so if you can more power to you. Also I think it was stated in the other thread, that this kit was for the base model and not the prerunner model. IDK what the difference is tubing and routing and whatnot so I do not know for sure if thats really the case.

someones already installed it and blah blah. this is a pretty good thread to look through

 

I know this is a stupid thing to ask... but how much mpg do you think it goes down once this is done? I'd be for a group buy... just need some time to raise the money :-(

 

Mileage should change 1-2 but it really all depends how you drive. If your always on it then its less if you baby it more.

 

any chance for a group buy on this? i'm down. but might need a month to get funds...

Also, i'm planning on pulling a 4000 lb 21 foot sail boat with my 06 tacoma 4x4... think this will pull it? (up and down hills... i know with out it would kill my clutch, and probably pull me down hill)
