There's nothing like a well-balanced Harmonica...

Buy it, Kenny!

Never heard of it before. If i were to get a Supercharger, i'd be after a CAPA one.

You'll only make ~200-220 kw off a stock engine with that kit.

I'm just suspect on the S/C being called a Supra S/C.

did supra's have superchargers?????
single and twin turbo jobs only.
although you can get little blowers off the jap spec crowns etc. they would do 5psi.

I think I saw a V8 ute with 2 of them ages ago

yeah they aren't the best thing's by a long shot. they come off import's little 2.5L jobbies, so you put a way smaller pulley on it spin it as hard as you can and you might get 4 psi or so and that's on commodores , so less for a falcon. my mate had 2 of them on his old monaro, pretty cool.

I really don't think it's worth it, especially if it's off a Jap machine.

Would it make much difference on a 4.0 I6?

EDIT - Thought so. Thanks for that silverxr.

I got an e-mail back from the seller...

Basically said that the supercharger DID come off a Supra, ran an intercooler (What for? It's only running 5psi) and has an air-con pump for non-intercooled setups.

I'll pass thank you very much.
