Guilty as Charged: The Supercharger Mega-Thead

[roy obanion]

Made 192 rwhp. Only issue I ever had was the mounting bracket cracked. TDR sent me another one no questions asked.



Thx! Matched the color of the top and seats.




I miss that car... the kid that bought it stripped it back to stock and bought a FMII setup. Said he wanted 300hp in a daily driver. Never got the car tuned and sold it including the turbo setup for less than he paid me for it.

I would have bought that car in a heartbeat. (And left it alone.)

So question to all you JR MP45 kit owners I'm taking a trip on Saturday to collect whats basically a totally stock kit however my car has a bigger rad with the OEM fans fitted and looking at photos on line I'm worried that I'm going to run the risk of the crossover pipe and the fans hitting each other. So anyone on here have any experience with this? Its not the end of the world if they do rub as I plan to buy the ILmotorsport slim fans down the line but I'm interested to know if I can get away with my current config

[imperfekt]

on the 1.8 i am willing to wager that you can set the crossover pipe on top of the oem fans, which will definitely cause some vibration, especially when the fans turn on! lol, but yeah, even my slimfans would hit if they came up as high as the top of the radiator. my radiator is 2.5 inches thick... my slimfans sit about 3 inches below the top of the radiator so they clear fine. the oem fans bolt right in prettymuch level with the top of the radiator - so the pipe would have to rest on top of them if not put a little pressure down on them.

thanks for the info. Well the seller has actually offered to help me fit it when I go to buy so I will find out on the day. He's using power cards and a norrow band (basically its the whole kit Moss put together plus a few nice extras) but once its home and I've had a bit of fun I'm swapping to an AEM wideband and a MS2 from reverant I originally got when I was planning on going for ITB's. Then once its running nicely I'm thinking of doing the whole intercooler, smaller pulley, fuel pump and larger injectors to get the most from it.
