[WormGod]

What's the current status on supercharging kits for the Vehicross engine? Is this the only option?

Our 'kit' was AUD 3300 without the SC. We sold 8 in the end

Which kit are you referencing? The Alpine kit or the one linked above?

We (C-Red Tuning here in Perth WA.......that's Western Australia WA not Washington WA ) got Alpine to do a small rerun of the major parts for us to suit the MP90 SC, and made up 'kits' that bolted on to our Jackaroo (your Trooper) which came with the 6VE1 in its last years of sale

I hear ya. Still sounds painfully steep to me since it isn't a full install kit, but I have seen Ford heads here in the states up up to $10k for blower kits (always Kenne Bell). I guess it all comes down to who has the $$ and and is willing to spend it.

I got the complete Alpine kit back around 2002 for $3300 (US) IIRC, w/ the upgraded pulley (6psi).

In any case, not hatin'. At least there is another option out there.

Yeah, the Alpine kit was well priced! When I talked to John Conchie, the original Alpine contact, he said they lost $ on every one they sold!

In Russia we also have at least 3 Rotrex-based S/C kits installed with more available for sale (around $6k/kit),

These, accoring to owners who switched from Alpine, are giving a much better performance increase.. they claim 6seconds to 100km/hr acceleration:

Who is supplying those? Alas I'm not having much luck searching the Russian forum...

A Russian VX enthusiast who who put together a kit (similar to what Robbomaz did).. PM me if seriously interested..

I did not get involved, but this set has a very high cost. But only this kit include the seven's injector, it is very important for boost 4 psi. Someone installed a supercharger system, with the seventh injector or replaced the engine ecu for the effective use boost of 4-6 psi?

[eternal21]

Awesome! That makes the s/c'ed VX I'm getting ready to sell that much more valuable

[NikitaKoval]
