I finally got a supercharger installed in my 4.2. What a kick in the pants!

 

so I take it was a big jump from stock? This may have been said, but where'd ya get it at?

 

I purchased the kit second hand. The kit originally came from a company in Flordida called Need For Speed. The horsepower increase is supposed to be around 90. I'm planning on getting the truck dynoed in a couple of weeks. I'll post the results.

 

good job on the kit i saw you post it up on the "other" site....

that's garrett's kit right?

 

Yes it's his old kit.

 

Hey man you should start a gallery an dpost some pics.

I see ya from Newport News, great I reside just across the M&M in Portsmouth.

Have you been down to the virginia chapter forum, speak for all Va chapter membrs, would love to see you and that truck at a meet.

I have a question about the Wynjammer supercharger kit. I looked up the website and saw what the actual supercharger looks like. It looks as if there is no reduction gear box on it. That being said, I am wondering how many RPMs it spins at? Does it spin at the same RPMs as the engine? I am currently converting a GM turbocharger in to a similar part. I took off the exhaust side of the turbo and am going to add a pulley on the other side. I am trying to figure out if it will spin fast enough to generate enough boost and how much? Please, if somebody has insight on this, please let me know.

 

dude i dont know but i'm in SD also hit me up i'd want to checkout what you are doing!

 

I will definatley let you all know whats going on with my project. I just gotta get rotated back to the states. The powers that be are being a pain. I am still researching, the electrical part of things. Im trying to see if I can just put a Diablo chip and reprogram the computer to push the stock fuel pump and injectors to there max potential. Fuel economy is an issue as well as expense. I have to be resourceful. I always say, one man trash is another mans treasure. Let me know if you know anything about the reprogramming part.

 

and what exactly is a "wynjammer supercharger kit"?

i'm interested

 

The wynnjammer kit is a supercharger kit I found posted on one of these threads. I went on the website, but couldnt find one for V-6's but found some for Mustangs. As I said, it looks like there is no gear box, so that it runs the same as the engine, ofcourse depending on pulley size. Do a google search and see what you find.

Hey everyone, incase you were wondering what exactly the hybrid superchargers Im making look like, I have a picture of an old Ducati that somebody did the same thing to. It is the exact same turbo Im using and done up the same way. Check out my gallery. That will give you an idea what Im doing.
