Supercharger

[Gussie2000]

Hi folks!
Don't have a VX, unfortunately the cute little critters have never been available Downunder - do they even come in RHD? I have a Jackaroo (Trooper) chassis wearing a four door P'up body........
Anyway, I noticed some interest in supercharging - those with 3.5s heads up! I have made contact with the South Africans responsible for the Alpine Sports supercharger kits - they stopped making them because the exchange rates made the SC's themselves uneconomical. They have offered tech assistance and manufacture of small parts What is spurring this is this: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....m=170322053311

We are looking at making parts to suit this SC on the 6VE1. I am hesitant to call them 'kits' per se, as you will need to have some DIY skills & input, but we are looking at supplying all the machined parts required, and support, so that someone who knows how to use a spanner will be able to do this.
We are doing this on 3 6VE1 vehicles here, and can make as many parts as there are people interested.
If interested reply here or PM me :bwgr:

Hi robbo i'm a bit confused here,the original manifold is a M62 1rst generation,but the one offered on ebay.com is a M90 4th generation.

I assumed the M90 has more power since it's a 4th generation design & i also recall reading from tone monday that any further S/C generation can place at risk blowing the trans which according to records by GM is capable of pushing up to 285 pounds-per square feet.

I guess the nose pulley may make the difference here isn't it ?

Got more cunfused

What is blowing my mind here is that the M-90 is bigger,wonder if mods are needed on the hood to fit the manifold.

Then which nose pulley is best suitable to avoid any damaged to the trans when that is spinning at 80 + miles per hour pushing that extra horses load.

I'll settle with the M-62 though just for insurance

M90 is bigger DISPLACEMENT, not actually physically bigger than the M62.
Torque and hp are a product of the boost, which is controlled by the pulley size. We will be sizing the pulley to boost 5 psi, which is mild.
Doesn't get any cheaper than this:

M62 WILL NOT fit the manifold we are going to make!

All the manifolds at ebay.com has gone,sold pretty fast


Now i'm more confident about the MP-90.
