Supercharger Kits available
I hope this is ok to post here. I have a website in the works that should be online soon but I thought I would let everyone know that I have a couple of supercharger kits ready to ship if anyone was interested.
The kit includes everything that you would need to perform the installation right down to the fasteners and cable ties. Also included is a 38 page color illustrated installation manual. Right now the kit is only for the 87MY and later cars and will give you 8psi of intercooled boost that should result in a conservative 425rwhp. My personal car made 465rwhp at 8psi with just an OTT x-pipe. These are the first kits to be released to the public since the successful beta installations. The cost of the complete kit is $8k, shipping included.
If anyone has questions they can either email me or they can ask them publicly here so anyone who wants can follow along. If you would like to ask questions privately that is ok too and I will keep them private. I’m happy to exchange phone numbers as well.
Email: tmurf928@yahoo.com
BTW, I have not done an installation on the GTS cars yet so anyone interested with a GTS would get a 5psi kit to start with and we would take it from there.
I have other versions of the kit that will be available for modified engines with much higher HP potential but those will need to be discussed on a case by case scenario. These kits would include custom made pistons and head gaskets to start with. This is still in development and it won’t be until spring before they would get fully tested.
Thanks,

Are you limiting the boost on the GTS's because of the increased compression ratio on that model, or because you have not had one of these models on the road to test yet? Will there be a pully option later that will produce 7-8 lbs of boost if it proves to be safe?

I have been told that some GTS's have had detonation problems in stock form, so I would just like to take it slow with them until I get a chance run the kit at a lower level and be confident that it works fine at the 5psi. My gut feeling is that there will be no problem but I want to test it first. The upgrade would be free of charge (would require a different pulley).

Thanks,
I'll think about this. If I hired a competent shop mechanic, what would you estimate the installation time to be? Give me a high and low amount of hours if you can I want to estimate the labor costs.

The 87 and most 88 cars come from the factory with the 944 turbo rods. In those cases the rods would be fine.

Barry the 85-86 uses a vacuum hose to the ignition box to adjust advance but the 87> relies on knock sensors to retard the timing as needed . That is a much smarter system .

Would the kit work on an '86 if the intake was upgraded to an S4 intake or does it require the knock sensors of the later models?

Be funny if Marc T showed up at the '04 OC with one of his NA monsters and your kit on it!
Per the Weather Channel, I heard its 32'F in HE## today

to fit an S-4 intake you must grind off a couple raised castings on the block . The intake ports are smaller on the 85-86 , all the throttle cables and trans pressure cables are different . The belt driven cooling fan must go .

I can't give any advice as to what it would take to convert to the S4 intake although with the S4 intake you would have the required room for the intercooler. I know Marcus3.com converted his, possibly he will chime in on what he ran into. He is the only one that I know of that made the transition.
