Default Imagine Auto 2.5L Supercharger is Live!

After year and a half of research, development, and testing, we are pleased to announce the first run of kits are on their way to us as we speak. After we get all the components, and put the individual kits together, they will be ready for shipment to the customer! We have had 2 cars on the road for over a year now with these kits, and the only thing they have needed was a few oil changes.


The official release:


LIMITED FIRST RUN! • • • SECURE YOURS TODAY!
TARGETED DELIVERY DATE 3/13/06

The heart of this kit is the Procharger C1 supercharger. This self-contained blower breaks all the boundaries in the supercharged world. More like a belt-driven turbo than a supercharger, this unit operates at very low temperatures while capturing the highest efficiency ratings for a centrifugal blower. All brackets are CNC’d to exact specifications then powder coated and stamped with the new ImagineAuto/Evolution Motorsports alliance branding. Roto-molded piping ensures a factory look and a very durable system. The kit utilizes all factory components by relocating specific pieces in the system. This means no check engine lights! Instead of trying to piggy back additional fuel in the system we add the proper size injectors and carefully flash your ECU as the factory would with the latest GIAC flashloaded program.
Real world results for the 2.5 were completed on our in-house AWD Mustang Dyno. Base line results were 150 RWHP and after the supercharger was installed, increased to 234 RWHP—a 36% gain over stock. Kit includes:

• C1 Procharger Blower
• Custom CNC’d Mounting Brackets
• Custom Relocated Air Pump Bracket
• High Flow Cotton Air Filter
• Bosch Factory Diverter Valve
• Installation instructions
• Roto-Molded Inlet and Pressure Ducts
• All Hardware incl. Idle Pulleys
• Custom Belt
• Oil for Blower
• All individual Coupling Hose and Clamps
• Custom Proprietary GIAC Flashload Software
• AirPump Extension Harness
A qualified installation facility should have no problem following the included installation instructions. Technical assistance available during normal ImagineAuto business hours.

Price? An affordable $6,995.00. Introductory first run offer, free UPS ground shipping to contiguous 48 states. • 913-310-9927 • www.imagineauto.com

Call and order your kit today before the 1st run is gone.

We are hoping to release the 3.2L kit in about a month. The 3.2L requires a few custom items, such as headers and an intake/throttle body plenum. The headers are done, just waiting to come back from our fabricator, and the intake plenum we are currently working on. Other than that, the kit will be the same, so the rest we can bolt on quickly. Tuning will also take a little time, as Garrett with GIAC is usually running a very busy schedule. The end is in sight though.....

The 3.2 is a relatively high compression engine. Will this require a major tear down. How will you prevent detonation with pump gas?

Very low boost, larger injectors, proper programming on 91 octane. No engine tear downs.

For those interested in the stock vs. supercharger dyno sheet. Same car, same dyno.

How much for the 3.2L engine and what are the gains? Do you have the dyno sheets for the 3.2L?

The 3.2L is still in production, we will not have the dyno tests for a couple of weeks. The 3.2L will cost about 8k, due to custom headers and custom throttle body plenum/intake plenum.

PorscheDoc,
I am having some problems with your math. You say you got a baseline of 150 RWHP and increased it 84 RWHP to 234RWHP. This adds up to a 56% increase, no?

Should we expect simiar results from the 3.2 set-up?

Thanks

(234-15)/234 = 0.3589*100 = 35.89%

So, if I double the output it is only a 50% increase?

bruinbro is right

it's actually (234-150)/150 = .56*100 = 56%

the increase is over the original 150HP so since 84 is 56% of 150 it's a 56% increase, if it were to drop from 234 to 150 then it would have been a loss of 35.89%

if output is doubled it's a 100% increase over the original
