While you're there be sure to go by the 4 block "compound" where they have all of the American fast food franchises...I have been there many times and worked with the ONE GUY that owns them all...he was an amazing guy!

Yep :)
My bad for being so quiet - I apologise for that. How dare family interrupt playing with cars!

Unit one was installed about 3 weeks ago and has been sent off to try and break it :yeso:
It is on a very modified 3.5 Jackaroo going to Cape York from Perth via the Red Centre and return - straight across the continent in as close to a straight line as the tracks will allow - basically a 12000 kilometer round trip with no tarmac running on some of the harshest roads in the world. We have corrugations here that explode shocks in 50km :confused:
If that dont bust it nothing will!

All of those that are watching are still waiting for a good set of pictures to see the end result. Also 3 wseeks ago means back in 1 to 2 weeks? This is beyond suspence. Does the good guy win in the end I can hardly wait to find out :grino:

Well she's back from 16000km of Outback touring, 9500 of which was dirt, 3500 of those on some pretty brutal tracks. A failed O2 sensor and a small oil leak from the SC snout were the only casualties. If we had been able to get a new seal before the car left (snout was on and off a few times) would have been just one! All in all a pleasing result.
I'll be heading down the workshop tomorrow for some long awaited photos for you guys, but right now I'm going to watch football with the kids!:p

Install in Swamp Donkey (not a typical install)

http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/da...humbs/1221.JPG

http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/da...humbs/1241.JPG

Failures: Broken body mount, cracked radiator support, failed O2 sensor after the dunking, oil weep from SC snout (we couldnt get a new seal in time before departure)
Some of the toughest roads in the world and a very unforgiving driver - not such a bad result :bwgy:

Just out of curiosity, what IS shipping to the states (say east coast)? Unless you all manufactured it out of unobtainium, them thangs is HEAVY.

Not looking to buy, just curious. :smilegray

Also, I may have missed this somewhere along the way, but I don't see the actual supercharger in the picture. Do we have to source that ourselves?

yellowgizmo99

yes, he figured you could get one of those rebuilt and save the shipping from there and back from down under.

Yeah, what yellow said. For us to buy in the US, bring here then send back to the US made no real sense. It's designed around the Magnusson MP90

I'll be shipping one to Washington within the week, so I'll let ya know. :bgwo:
May not be terrible, we got four superchargers from Magnusson on DHL Express air for $600

Lizardmen3477

So the 3300 is just for the hardware then we gotta buy the superhcarger itself for however much more Mag sells it for ballpark 4k+ plus shipping for all?
11/16/2011, 12:56 AM
Robbomaz

Shipped by air to a Washington address AUD385
Kit with bill paid by Paypal AUD3232
Total AUD3617 - USD3670 today according to xe.com

Plus the SC -
Mag unloaded some MP90's on Ebay for $250 a while ago. The snout was long for this application but a new snout was under $400 from Mag when I enquired - we got all cheap-like and machined the long snouts down ourselves
