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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
