Hey, I was just reading over this thread and I think it's great what you guys are doing, and that I'll be more than happy to be a doner ($$) to the cause so we can see this thing finished.
Roddimus, you said expected gains from this kit will produce over 600HP? It seems like you've taken ALOT of time to decide on what to do (i just remember reading that article on the 400hp civic and how it did alot of.....nothing...really dramatically because it wasn't thought out) and sounds like it will be well worth it when it comes together.Good Luck!

i think he was saying the the blower can produce 600hp, from what I know the kit will only be 6-7 psi so about (42hp more) than stock....I dont think the motor, driveline or chasis could take 600hp w/o a lot of work...

for starters....no'one wants my sperm....not even my wife!!
Jebus.... You've got to read it more carefully. The blower itself is capable of 675hp. They base that on the amount of cfm the blower forces out and the power levels associated with that. I'm expecting this kit to make about 165-185whp. This should be on target with the gains from this blower on a similar engine at similar boost and similarly boosted turbocharged proteges.
R-beat, yeah you got it right but I'd actually expect more like 70whp increase over stock. I feel the stock internals are still solid at this point and the fuel system is tapped either. Anything heavier than this will probably start requiring more upgrades. I want this to be a complete and SAFE kit. Also, from the very start of this project I mentioned that for ultimate peak power nothing beats a turbo. I'm not shooting for peak power. I'm shooting for a large increase in DRIVEABLE power at or below turbo cost.

I agree with your goals roddimus that's the best way to do it. who wants a peaky motor when you can have good usable power all over?
pm me your address and i'll send you some extra parts i've got. can't wait for this, need to find the money tree.

Sounds great. I'm just cleaning up this M62 I purchased as a test piece if anyone wants to play with it on another car. I'm disassembling it now and cleaning it all up. It'll look almost brand new when I'm done (aside from some scratches on the nose drive from removing the old pulley). You will need to make/find your own pulley, which should be done anyway for a custom supercharger!
I'm looking for $100+shipping for this blower. These go for $100-200 on ebay all day long.

bumpity bump bump....still needing donations of either money, parts, both, or food ( I get hungry working in my shop all day by myself!)
Id' also be willing to sell anything off my video game list at a reduced price to use the money towards this project. I think Frank or Paul wanted some Gamecube games at one point. I still have them. Let me know if we can work something out.

just for some more info guys. Depending on what the tech-guru's at powerdyne say I may have founf a worthy blower for the kit that costs MUCH less and would price the kit back in the $2500 range with FMIC and BEGi FMU. Should make appx. 170ish whp or so.
The blower is pretty large so we'd be running lower boost and the FMIC would also eat some of that up. The reason for this is that these blowers are designed to feed big V8's at 6psi. I figure 4psi with a FMIC would be superb on our smaller motors and cram just massive amounts of air into the motor.
I'm waiting to hear official word back from powerdyne about the cfm ratings but I know they are the quietest superchargers made. A friend of mine has one on a mustang with a 9psi pulley and you can't hear it even under full boost. At idle you hear a wind sucking noise but no whistle to let anyone know you're running boost. Should be sweet to see if I can get one here in the next few weeks.
