Procharge.

 

Saw a rolls Royce ghost stuck in traffic on the Monash last night, had plenty of time to admire it. f**k it's such a baller car. Needs work though, and roof/profile is a bit tall.

Had white HID fog light things in the front bar, but the headlight parkers were yellow. Ewww. And because of the pointy shaped bonnet, to change the headlight globes is probably an engine out job lol

What's to say that car even has the kit? Could just be a photo they found of the generation of car they are marketing it for.

If you've never had supercharged v8 before give it a go :P easy skids & instant power, whine is good too. 

Don't get me wrong love mine but after nearly 6 years ownership ready to get back into a turbo for something different, that's only cos of how long I've had it.

If fuel economy is a concern, a positive displacement Supercharger (what Magnuson offer) will use more fuel all the time.

It will make a lot of power in the low to midrange but will lose out up top to the turbos or centrifugal superchargers, the advantage being positive displacement superchargers are almost lag free and make near their full boost a fraction of a second after you open the throttle enough to close the bypass valve.

Just depends what you want, the positive displacement Supercharger will feel like you have a couple extra L of displacement, the turbos or centrifugal need you to get the revs up a bit before they show what they can do so they tend to be similar in the midrange and then take the advantage in the top end.

Install wise, Superchargers are much simpler than any turbo kit.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
