well the supercharger made it safely to its destination yesterday. Today, it was torn apart and everything seems to be in good condition but its the internals (rotors) are fairly dirty so the rear bearings will be replaced

Nick sent me these today. I asked for them since i know you guys like pictures lol

As you an see, the inside of the housing and the rotors are filthy! You can tell where he began to clean it up. Surprisingly, aside being dirty, its in good shape. It will be nice and clean when he's done with it. Like i said, the parts have been ordered for it and have been shipped!

you and i both. A 5.0 is a little more work but also awesome. I dont know about the cost of a 5.0 swap but with this i'll be in the low $3000 range lol

New and old parts. the new green coupler has no spring which I'm told is much more durable!

On a side note, this supercharger project may be slowing down a bit. I'm sick of torsion bars so I've been really thinking about doing a coilover swap first but I'll still be adding to my collection of supercharger requirements as I go. Stockpiling like i did with wheels, tires, lift, stereo, etc. at the beginning of this thread lol

If the coilovers were used, I probably wouldn't buy it. I like having shiny stuff for a little while then letting it age on its own lol. im permanently banned on there anyway for trolling lol

I have my eye on some brackets already, I'm just waiting patiently since im not really in a rush

Sucks your banned on there but sometimes they need a good trollin. Everything was basically brand new. Kid started to put it on and I guess got bored with it. If I had the cash they would be mine.

got three things today.



supercharger came back along with an 80mm MAF and the ultra gauge i ordered also came in.




made this panel a few days ago for the gauge to sit on. To not be so harsh, i'll just say the ultra gauge is definitely not what i expected, you definitely get what you pay for. I'll be installing another Aeroforce Technologies Interceptor scan gauge because I'm not happy with the ultra gauge at all.

its bare and not primered/sprayed yet in that pic lol. it was sandblasted with a light media before it was sent back after the rebuild. It looked 100x worse and the inside was disgusting but thats why it was fully rebuilt.

its now coated with VHT Wrinkle Black paint
