General Supercharger Thread

I’ve got both kits sitting on the shelf. I was planning on looking through them and comparing/contrasting. I have the exact same preponderance.

 

Any chance scaning the ratiotek kit instructions?

 

As long as your music isn’t screaming, you got a plate, and ain’t driving like an idiot, Lago Vista lets folks drive em on the non highway streets that are under 40mph

 

A golf cart cant go 80 miles an hour.

I can attest to this.

A simple $300 controller swap, from Amazon, will get you easily over 40mph.

a couple more toggle flips and it "says" it will do 60mph.





just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

 

You get used to it.
Went and visited a Buddy in Vegas and then did a run with the TTORA Guys from Vegas and California.
Went from Vegas to Southern California through the Desert.
It was a Really Cool Trip!!!
It was offroad the whole way except for crossing a few Highways!!
My lips got so Chapped they were cracking and bleeding!!
I couldnt wait to get back to the Humidity!!!

 

Week of August 4th is my install week with National Speed for “stage 2” - they need until Thursday. They could’ve gotten me in Mid-July but I got a pesky vacation in Saratoga/Lake George lol

Stoked to get it locked in. Originally was thinking end of August and early September.

Was toying with driving truck down and then flying home and then fly back but most likely staying down there at a hotel and working out of it for the week.

 

Okay...Your average Golf Cart wont go 80 MPH.....
Had a Golf Cart at our weekend place on the South Llano River.
Loved that thing!!
Modified it by making a small truck bed for it.
It was great for hauling your beer and other miscellaneous crap down to the river.
The place is WAY out in the Boonies!!
I'd load up some beer and go drive the gravel roads up into the hills at night.
And with it being so quiet you'd jump Deer and other wildlife all the time.
Even ran across a Cougar one night.
Was told they were out there but I thought they were Bullshitting me.
Nope!!
After that encounter I always carried my FNX .45 when I took my late night excursions.

 

Are they also doing the tuning?

 

yes a re-tune as well Thursday morning and I’ll leave late afternoon Thursday back to New Jersey.

 

No, I don't. Been here since 2006. Not getting used to it.

 

Wait....Phoenix has high humidity?

 

Normally, no. During Haboob season (now) it can get up there over 60%.


My references to humidity were regarding Miami & Hawaii.

 

Harrop TVS2300 used by Elate MFG in New Zealand for their Lexus IS F 5.0L Kit. 460 WHP at 7.0 PSI. 7300 RPM and stock 11.8 pistons are no problem because of both the direct and port injection systems. It will require a lot of work, but it certainly will be fun to put some DI heads on the 5.7.

k when you wanna start?

 

That price shocked me until I saw it was NZD

 

I have pallets… might be time to ship it out to you.

 

Were you thinking swapping heads or modifying the 5.7 heads?

 

We need to swap the heads, which will physically bolt to the 5.7 block, no issue there. I don’t think we could easily or reliably add the DI ports to the 5.7 heads. The problem lies in that the DI heads and injection systems use a different cam phasing system on the intake cams, they have electric motors, rather than the oil fed hydraulic pieces. That will require a custom timing cover… and then we need to adapt the DI system and ECU to the truck. Or, aftermarket efi controller.

 

Sounds about perfect for Rey…

 

"only"
13,550 New Zealand Dollar equals

8,178.78 United States Dollar

 

Tempting to just get a 1st gen Taco or 3rd Gen 4runner and slapping the new TVS1320 on it.

$4200

The first TRD 5.7 SC in 08 or 09 was around $5800. Add inflation and we’re probably spot on.

 

It'd still be gutless and slower than all hell though

 

Ha! Sounds easier to make our current heads etc rev to 7300

 

Lots of boost on pump gas is the real benefit.
