2.7 vvti alpine developements supercharger

hope everyone that was interested reads this thread. finally they came out the only thing im curious about is the tuning?

 

Will the reliability of my solid 4 banger go down the drain?

 

Found this thread so Quick. How do I get on that mailing list?

 

I haven't been able to find a money tree to plant in my yard so I guess I'd better start saving.

 

Time to start saving...

 

Chris I'm kinda sad they went with the turbo style supercharger instead of, is it called and centrfugel or something like that?

 

yeah it's essentially a turbo that runs off of the pulley system

I don't think anyone is developing a positive displacement SC for the 2.7L which is a shame.

The centrifugal ones have come a long way though.

 

A long way indeed. I have seen some very stout, and reliable centrifugal SC setups in the past 10 years. I wouldn't hesitate putting one on my ride either, and still prefer it over a Turbo in a truck application.



Its good to see someone finally put out a forced induction kit for our 2.7's. If all goes well with this kit, there is a good chance i'll be throwing one of the Taco.

 

How about fuel economy?

Obviously depends on how much you hammer it, but I wonder how much it'll go down in comparison.

 

1-2 is kinda average across the board in the 1st gen supercharged tacos I know of.

 

nice...

 

Someone buy one damnit.

 

the torque curve looks real nice...me want one lol

 

dude, this is gonna be my engine mod, haha its either this or engine swap for moar powRRR

 

I'm interested in this question as well. Dpes it come with fuel mods/tuning, or would I need to get those seperatly?

 

Looking forward to it. So, finally, is it a root type supercharger or centrifugal?

 

i emailed them about it, comes with a pretuned piggy back and they are trying to work out a deal with unichip for the u.s. so that the unichip would be the module that is the ecu piggyback

 

Centrifugal.
