Hey lads... Ive been looking into putting a supacharger on my EB. Ive been to the capa web page and they have a powerdyne s/c avaliable for the eb.
I cant seem to find what this includes?? What needs to be moded/added (apart from the s/c unit) to the car?? Is there computer mods and stuff also?

Thanks

Brent

Usually come with a chip or similar. (IMHO)if you want best result can the chip (-$250odd) ans spend a grand or so on a unichip. I put the vortec kit on my EL 6 and it was great. I then went the same Vortec on my auv8 and was great except computer management (BANG!!!). Pulled it apart and went back to stockish setup and sold s/c. Powerdyne if the $ aint there but Turbo!!! is prolly my next choice for my au as well as a well setup comp sys. Yes on the v8. I only intend on about 8psi with cooler. The vortec is better charger but harder to fit (oil lines) and extra $$$.
Oh but if you want the best setup on the falcon 6 GET A TURBO.

Just my 2c, hope it helps.

Oh, and the only other mods for a mild boost application would be to consider a headgasket upgrade. Port those heads while they're off good bang for bucks on 6cyl with boost.

So you get the kit and all the extras, thats over 100 pieces, but wait theres more, we also thrown in .............. call now

ebxr8240 · 02-25-2004, 23:02

Piss the FMU off and get proper sized injectors and maf..Using an 8:1 fmu/fuel reg is doing things on the cheap!!!!Not good for fuel economy/ EPA either they dump too much fuel as boost comes on, its not lineal enough!!!Imo..
For Spark control and you DON'T want to change eec, then I suggest either an MSD system or the Crane where spark can be retarded on % of boost...

ebxr8240 · 02-25-2004, 23:04

Btw I think they left out a self tapper....Lol..

Xeron · 02-26-2004, 02:47

I've heard of parts missing from their kits too...only heard...

Best off going to a performance place and buying a s/c and getting it all custom done. But then that costs more.

AU2XLSV8 · 02-26-2004, 04:00

Twice the price and no r&r time! Hmmmmm. best to go with kit and modify part you not happy with. A lot of performance mechs do this! esp with fuel & ecu set up.

Also a few shops i've spoken too and the kit i installed on my EL doesn't fit up perfect so expect to shim and adjust a few times. Don't get dismayed if you throw a belt.

Xeron · 02-26-2004, 04:05

Each to their own. I've gone the custom route, for reference.

AU2XLSV8 · 02-27-2004, 03:58

I'll tip my glass to that Xeron.
