BWR Supercharger Kit - Page 40 - LotusTalk

ArticDream · 02-18-2008, 09:33 AM

My car is currently in the shop at FF with this kit being installed.

I'm way siked. It should be ready in the next couple of days, but it looks like rain on forecast all week. Argggg!!!!

I will post a Dyno once its available to me.
I have no Snorkle, Green Filter Installed, Larini SE Exhaust & RAC Monolites(grey

).
Should be a blast.

You will be happy.

Sweet, congrats.

Sorry if someone already mentioned it and I didn't catch it, but have you considered methanol injection? I installed a Snow Performance methanol injection system on my supercharged Wrangler after trying just about everything possible (larger pulley, octane booster, ECU reflash, cooler plugs, etc...) and it worked. In fact, the results were so good that I was able to put on a smaller pulley without renewed detonation. Just my 2 cents.

Yes. yes it is! Have I gotten off my butt and put it on the site yet? No. Very soon. 70mm, complete new casting! 16% larger area!

Rugbyduck · 02-19-2008, 01:32 PM

Is that part of the Stage II?

Date on '06 yet? I intend to order soon!

dma550 · 02-19-2008, 01:55 PM

OK Fred

For us folks sitting on a kit in our living room until we free up to do the conversion, can you let me know if there's any upgrades like the TB worth doing while the car is apart?

Hmmmmm.... There is some sense to that but that *might* be part of stage 2?

Would you stop teasing us!

A date would be nice... even if it's only the date of the announcement of the release/production date...

Blacktan · 02-19-2008, 10:59 PM

..... March is coming !!!

andrewgotanelise · 02-19-2008, 11:43 PM

yay my first post!

Question for the BWR guys here... Will there be any issues using a 2006 EU spec ECU for this set up on a EU spec car?

Shawn C · 02-20-2008, 03:49 PM

Count me in for an 06' Kit! Where is the list?

Blacktan · 02-21-2008, 03:35 AM

i am on the list ...

dma550 · 02-21-2008, 09:57 AM

Fred, I see over at the "other" site there is some "concern" re: the placement of the alternator and the header. Do you have any thoughts about needing a shield? I found something on eliseparts.com http://www.eliseparts.com/shop/index...roducts_id=289

AdamT · 02-21-2008, 10:55 AM

So, what are the installer options for those of us who live in the mid-Atlantic region but don't want to send our cars all the way up to New York? In particular, is there anyone in the DC area?

HobanJ · 02-25-2008, 05:42 PM

I'm also on the list for an '06, any idea when you'll be releasing it?

You can always buy the header I'm about to offer

Pricing is ready and I have a SC'd test mule lined up.

It's specifically designed around the BWR supercharger kit with the relocated alternator

I'm also offering a mil-spec coating for it just to make sure.

PM me if interested (sorry Fred, didn't mean to hijack).

P.S. It will be absolutely cake to install once the clam is off

Johnny B · 02-26-2008, 03:27 PM

A coated header will help with heat concerns. I had Boosted2.0 port my header and have it coated by Polydyne. When I go the supercharger route, I may put the stock heat shields on as well.
