hi guys i have been looking at supercharging my gx i know i will have to uprate a few bits first before i attepmt it i have a mechnic who is willing to do it with me he likes to experiment as much as i do. before anyone says it my insurance will be fine as its company insurance lol i know someone would bring it up lol so thats not a worry now i know i could go buy a wrx but i like to be different anybody had any experiance or heard of this being done? i have done some reasearch and we have been plannin it for a couple months now just though i want some more opinions.

 

There are a few supercharger kits out there - mainly for Legacy and from Australia - but they are really expensive (£4k+ from memory).

Whats the budget and target power?

 

we decided that we are not going to use a kit my mate builds racing engines for numerous cars so he is going to make his own kit he reconds that im looking about 1500 being as we already have a few bits were not sure on power output he says that it should hit between 250 - 300 so only about wrx power but with the abilty to make more once we have it all running.

 

and obviosly the labour is free :-)

 

From what I remember it seems best way if you have aircon is to remove aircon, and use the belt for the SC. fit SC to drivers side of engine bay and re-locate the abs module (if its like the Legacy)

 

why bother, it will make less power than a turbo version and cost more to do, just get an old wrx.

 

Friend of mine did it to a classic sport.

It ended up with melted pistons.

 

i would of thought to do a proper job and get it mapped and running correctly would cost far more than just buying a turbo version.

if you really want the whine noise when your driving just get a moany girlfriend.

i can lend you emmaroids for a small fee
