There's no fixed price yet but it should go for around $3.5K
Update:
Done with the piggy back fuel controller for the VX!!! I'm trying to make a plug and play solution right now with no ECU wire splicing.

You guessed it - A SUPERCHARGER KIT
(see below)
The quoted power (185kW / = 250Hp) is based on the lesser 6VD1 from the Trooper, factory rated at 142kW = 190Hp)
That's a 60Hp increase, meaning that your 6VE1 would max out at about 270-ish HP or 200kW for us metricans.
Damn - that's close to the max rating for the auto-trans!
CHECK about the re-tuning of the PCM/ECU to suit the Pressure vs. Vacuum and the extra injector
Worth checking out...

Looks like JDM Monkey hasn't been on since Feb. I wonder if he is still playing with his VX. Since I am thinking about doing my own mid mounted turbo kit, I would LOVE to hear some of his details.
AEM FIC piggy-back engine management appears to be powerful enough to give us everything we need!
Some comments about lag, were the original CATs still used on this system? If so, they could have been a MAJOR contributor of this lag! You really shouldn’t have CATs before the turbo! Now, it isn't 100% legal to move it after the turbo ether, but lets face it, most of us will not have to deal with CARB ;).
While you could get away without an intercooler (under 10 psi), it can still help you! With intercooler, you will be able to ether run lower octane gas and/or run more aggressive timing. So I wouldn't dismiss it "just because you can".
I think that engine management is THE most important part of well executed turbo/supercharger system. I think I will start by installing AEM FIC, wideband O2 sensor and larger injectors, BEFORE I actually install a turbocharger. Learn how to tune it and only then install the turbo, which is actually the easy part of this job ;).
I wish I didn't live in Cali sometimes it really bites!!
Sorry guys I've been busy at the shop. Another option would be a Rotrex supercharger set up. It is easy to install and very compact. We have successfully fabricated a kit for a Lexus GS400 and can be easily adapted into the VX. I anticipate the kit for the VX to be around $5800.
Here are some pics to get an idea how the setup looks like:

FYI - several VXs in Russia are using Rotrex S/C already.... at least one of them switched from Alpine and claims that Rotrex gives a much bigger boost.. ;)Quote:

Nice, do they have any pictures/videos of the install posted anywhere?! :bgwo:Quote:

I have a few questions:Quote:

Usually, a draw through MAF with a non-recirculated BOV will cause issues with stalling. Does he have this issue?
Aw Yes Please.....
I really want that Rotrex setup! Holy cow
centrifugal superchargers won't produce as much torque on the lower rpms as twin screw SCs do. They do produce good top end HP though. IMO low end torque is much more usable. Hence a twin screw or turbo setup would be much better. That's what pretty much every OEM is doing FYI on FI cars.
T.
Roots - very chip and big torque to the lower rpms!!! I can do 6-7 sec, with magnuson MP 90, but my 4l30e not like this :-)))
Have you tried upgrading your 4l30e with parts from Level 10 (or some other performance transmission shop)?
no I did not make any modifications. what is level 10? I plan to install the switch kit available on ebay.
Level 10 is a high performance transmission shop located in New Jersey, USA. They make rebuild kits as well.Quote:

Who used parts from these kits? has anyone modified their automatic transmission? What is the feedback?
what can you say about this ebay set?!

Nope. Not touching it with a 20' pole. I've seen very, very few good things come from modding a n/a car for forced induction. And it's even worse when the n/a has such a small cluster of vendor support--that you're having to fab everything & find working solutions for everything...on your own.
I'm keeping my VX's powertrain 100% stock.
What would u recommend for more HP
