HI guys

Just wondering about a supercharger?

The cost fitted?

Best brand?

How much boost to run on a xr6 engine with out causing problems?

And wot sort of rwkw would i expect?

Any suggestions would be helpful

ive seen them brand new for around $5500 add on a couple hundred for fitting. plus you would need to rip the engine down to lower the compression which can be expensive if you dont do it yourself.

have a look here...pricing and expected gains are all there. They are generally considered the experts in supercharging in oz at the moment...

THeir 5500 package gives 168RWKW

Mocks 4500 package gives 175RWKW

hmmmm

You've got a point there Hurricane, but how about torque comparisons?

each of those kits will get more power out of a inline 6 but you have to keep the reliablility in mind.....if you properly prepare your engine to take more boost then just fit an intercooler & turn the boost up....otherwise stick with what you got....I would go with CAPA only because I've never heard of the other brand/company

Jim Mock Motorsport can pump your car (EA-AU) to a 175kw rear wheels for round $4,500, that doesn't consist of a supercharger or turbo, just mods of the 4L motor.

If a 168rwkw blown I6 was up against a 175rwkw mock motor, I would be putting my money on the blown car thats for sure.
Don't even bother comparing forced induction figures to a car with a cam and head work.

The difference is guys, a powerdyne blower can be mounted on the any car, with the write mounting, say you bolt it on a edxr6 you sell the car keep the blower, put it on an auxr8.
