Supercharger Pics!

with all this BS going around and such, i just wanna make myself legit, i know supercharged cavys arent very common, just like the Z06 and the echo turbo/supercharger. And i just wanna show it off! So here it is. Crappy picture cause my phone doesnt take good quality pics. . .

It's the same size as the motor! heh. j/k

Looks good tho. How much was the cost w/ install?

It's the same size as the motor! heh. j/k

Lol it's true.
The install looks great man. I have so much more respect for you then the cav racers around here. They are all stickers.

nice supercharger!

It's fact proven by ricers that stickers DO add power!
I mean, they wouldnt add them on there for no reason right??? Laf.

lol yeah i know the engine isnt big and the supercharger is about the same size, but that small engine still packs around 200HP.

Looks like from what your sig says that it's pushing your car pretty well too. Have you upgraded the tires/rims and suspension yet? Or is there no need?

Never doubted you, looks great. Does it give off quite a bit of supercharger whine?

lol yes, since its a 4 banger the engine doesnt roar like a v8, but the supercharger whines like a bitch. I get so many funny looks from people when they hear the supercharger go, its like "wtf is in that?". No so far tires, rims, suspension are all stock.

What other mod plans do you have in the future for her?

the future, ahh a little ways away. Supercharger wasnt cheap and neither was the install. But id like a full exhaust, smaller pulley to make some more boost, custom gearing. . .ugh so many things but so little money. . .

You sir, sound like me. Haha

After I had a new 350 built for car i moved out of the house before it could be dropped in. So the car project kinda went on the back burner. I miss driving my car :(

yeahhhh buddy...

How about you just work on getting the power to the ground with some suspension, or the pulley. The pulley will surely add more power.

Yeah suspension will definantly improve those 60', and I don't think anyone was doubting your supercharger.

nice super setup...i haven't even seen a cavy with a turbo or supercharger yet....just mostly full exhaust, cams, smaller pulleys, etc. good to step out from the crowd....

You're running stock exhaust?? If that's the case, once you let that baby exhale, you'll notice a significant difference.

Boosaholic.........


Great looking install. Exhaust and filter gets my vote for next upgrade. Keep up the good work and the updates. Good luck.

well i got a cone filter on the end of the S tube. And why do i need suspension and tire mods, the track i run at is really good, i mean i pulled a 2 flat 60 with barely a chirp. But even before all that i wanna do a few exterior mods, i was thinking lip kit, ram air hood, and tinted windows.

Ugghh, the only thing the Ram Air hood looks good on is the Trans Am. Thats just my humble opinion.

That is just awesome man. Only been on here for about a month, but with your rep, I haven't doubted you once. Keep us updated on that beast!

this should be his next update .... CAI

its mad cheap only cost me $40 or so to make

then he should stick to plans of a new exhaust setup from the header back

then get a larger TB

should see some really nice gains from just them

btw the suspention is decent in the Z24's for drag

me and jayson are the only S/C Z24 owners on this site i think well atleast the only ones that represent

o and jayson whats that wire that looks bolted around one of the ID covers screws??

its a grounding wire, bought them at murrays for like 3 bucks each. The idea is to ground the engine and trans better, allowing for less electrical resistance. Its supposed to give you like a 3-5HP gain, but the only thing i noticed with them on was my head lights were brighter and my stereo was a little louder. Theirs a big thread about these over on jbody.org. Most will contest that they are worth it.

CAI is just a myth, theirs nothing different from CAI to WAI. And im fine with the performance of the car for right now. I wanna make it look a lil faster next. I figures lips, hood, and tints should do the job. Cause i still want to look relatively stock, so no body kits. After that i will finish off the TB, exhaust, header, as long as i can find one that doesnt make my car sound like a rice rocket. It seems almost every 4 banger that has exhaust, sounds like shit.

CAI is just a myth, theirs nothing different from CAI to WAI.

Ummm, I beg to differ. Maybe on the Z24 there's no difference, but on most cars there's a HUGE difference in the gains. My AEM CAI, which sits near the stock foglight openings, makes around 15 hp. I seriously doubt that a WAI that sits under the hood, by the HOT engine, will produce even 10 hp.

LMAO 15HP? man thats some super intake you got their. I should have just bought like 3 of those instead of my supercharger. NO INTAKE WILL GET YOU 15 HP! At most you got 5-7HP at MOST. And lets think about this. When a car is moving, theirs alot of air moving over the car right? It also moves into the engine bay right? So the temp in the engine bay is the same as the air outside. Even if it is hotter, its not going to be enough to get a gain in performance thats noticeable. . . ur starting to look like a ricer.

in general jayson you would be right if you where still n/a about the whole CAI thing but the supercharger makes shit loads of extra heat you probley wont loss any hp staying with your setup because the kit was rated at 190hp with the WAI but the CAI wont suck up the wicked hot air thats in the engine bay that alone with make more power

but you have to understand how a s/c works, they love cold air the colder you can give it to them the more power they will give out, i seen a little over 5psi all summer with my CAI but be for it i wasnt hitting it that high it was just over 4psi i cant wait for it to get really cold out im sure ill being seeing close to 6psi

i dunno personaly all the technicalities why it gives you more psi the colder the air is even with the stock pulley but i think its something along the lines the colder air reduces the friction of the blades because the air is denser thus making it easier for the engine to spin them which will create more boost which makes more power

Maybe, MAYBE 15hp at the flywheel. CAI are really unnecessary for forced induction apps. It is only heated back to 160+ degree temps.

The supra gets a 20 HP increase with just a CAI, but it's the only car (next to the altezza) that does that i beleive, most will get a 5-10 hp gain if any, hardly noticeable

rootchargers are different

the extra power im talking about has nothing to do with the temp of the air that actualy goes into the head though im sure that the CAI helps there too but its what the colder temp air does to the charger before the air is heated up and sent into the engine is what im talking about

if you drive around racing in a rootcharged car for like an hour you will feel a noticeable amount of hp gone from the heat the charger is putting out and a slight drop in boost

CAI helps this out

this is why you will commonly see at the track a guy with a root type charger putting a bag of ice on the charger before his next run

this is why you will commonly see at the track a guy with a root type charger putting a bag of ice on the charger before his next run

I too have seen people ice thier s/c before a race *not track, i havnt gone to one since I dont have a car worthy yet*, but it was a street race.

Im not sure what type of s/c it was, but i can assume it was the same type.

centrifigual and roots are the two types of superchargers available. A roots type supercharger will mount directly to the engine itself, while a centrifigual will mount kinda like a turbo, off the engine and have piping that runs to the intake. As for temps, yes i know it can get pretty hot and that it does heat up a good amount after some racing, but i still dont think CAI will make a difference. Everyone bases the effects on CAI on a non moving car. The car is moving, constantly putting fresh cool air into the engine bay. I mean anyways the difference between a CAI and WAI temp wise prolly wont be more than 10-15F. And someone on here told me as a rule of thumb, average 1% HP increase for ever 10F drop in temps. So with my car ill get 2 extra HP or so, not really worth it to me. But it might also cool the supercharger better than the other air, which could make a difference. For now though im happy, its getting colder here, days are like 65F tops, nights can dip into 40F. And with nice cold winters in michigan, a CAI is the last thing on my list for the next 4-5months.

Well I agree with you however, he can show you how he made his for 40$. Thats not bad for the chance that it could help. I still say suspension or pullies tho.

neither man, pulleys will void my supercharger warranty and full coverage warranty for sure. I would be able to get away with exhaust im pretty sure. Let me think of a list of priorities. . . as for suspension, i dont want a rough ride, i want a nice ride with power. A nice equilibrium. This is still my daily driver you know.

1. Lip Kit - i really want it!
2. Stickier Tires - stocks spin like hell on the road, but track they are gold!? confusing. . .
3. Tints - I have alot of fun in the back seat with my GF.
4. Brake upgrades, drilled and slotted rotars with titanium pads, might be sooner.
5. Exhuast - Im gonna be really picky about this, anything raspy or ricey or overly loud i dont want.
6. Boost and AF guages
7. Smaller Pulley - More boost when warranty expires, in like 20,000 miles.
8. Custom gearing - 4th gear is just way to long, especially since my car is goverened at 105 MPH.
9. Piggy back system to fix #8.
10. Suspension work

thats kinda my list right now, in order of importance to me.

Nice blower Jayson.

since my car is goverened at 105 MPH.
I have the 105 govern too, my ride is a 2.2 sunfire. It doesnt matter to me tho cause i would never try to race it. However, once your warranty is gone, you can also try a custom chip. Should help with your FI, and it can get rid of the top speed govern.

there are no chips for our cars

Yea i guess that is one of the downsides to tuning a car that doesnt have a big market. However if you really want to you could probally try that superchips, I think they hook up to a car by company, such as a chevy one working for all chevys. But i think they are pricey. Im not sure, look into it if you want.

there are no chips for our cars . . .

sweet supercharger man, good to see you put some effort into showing us it's not just bs.. Major Props in my book
