Supercharger?

[Taylor Weicht]

I think this might have been asked before, but i cant remember. Theres no way to put a super or turbocharger on a Gen 1 V6 without blowing myself up is there?

 

[Nik Hoffman]

I think Explorer Express sells one if I remember right.

um... EE does have a kit...



as for blowing urself up... lol if i remember correctly wasnt there like a 3:1 for engines blown doing this?

Here's the link to the supercharger page on the (site sponsor) Explorer Express web site.

In a nutshell, the EE supercharger kit adds a little bit of power for a lot of money, if you leave it alone.

People who wanted more power (argh, argh, argh) for their money and put a smaller pulley on the supercharger are the ones who blew up their engines.

At this point however the newest Gen 1 will be a 2005 with 40k or more on it already, so it would probably be a good idea to rebuild the engine before installing the supercharger.

looks like a good kit. I'm thinking about getting one myself

trashed my sons trac with the EE huffer, our fault tho, some of the sixer stangs in my club are getting graet results (tunes have come along way in the past couple yrs)

The entire kit, install, dyno time time, sct etc will run you at least 6K, maybe more.

If you can DIY , the install is pretty simple, takes a day.

IMO, not worth the cost in a 5K lbe trac.

They do sound nice tho

im still playing with the idea but theres a more economical way...



if you have $1500



STS turbo set ups :banana:

I would think the money would be better spent on a V8 swap, as some have done, or buying a second gen. ST with a V8...

 

[ray moyer]

eh....i love my trac....dnt care to get another....

id rather just boost it

Wow, they make a Hummer H2 bolt-on turbocharger package?



Even turbocharged, it's not going to get any better. Why no H1, you know, the hummer that actually was a hummer?



There are 4 GM bolt on kits, 2 dodge (for trucks), and only one Ford kit



Wow, the V6 Mustang turbo kit almost doubles the stock torque & RWHP @ 9 psi boost.
