WTB: Blitz supercharger

[Captain Slow]

Looking for a good deal on a Blitz supercharger kit

[BEEF]

aren't we all

I think we brought our price down on a new kit to $3400. It's the last one in the country that I know of, and I won't be re-ordering them. I have a couple of extra fuel controllers I can throw in if you want to play with your tuning.

wow are they no longer in production?

[vten]

Possibly because of power to a price ratio .... For about $4G, it only make about additional 25-35 Whp but it's easier to install compare to a turbo kit that usually makes more power .

I've been thinking in the past couple of days.... Ft86 is in my mind .... May sell the Yaris as is .... I may part out most of the mods but not gonna touch the engine ...

[BEEF]

I meant no disrespect but feel the same way about power gain vs price. it would be a good deal if it were around $2000 though I understand that it is a complete bolt-on setup. I just can't bring myself to spend that kind of money on it.

if it made more power...if it were cheaper...

Yeah a lot of s/c out there can be run straight bolt on like blitz/jackson Racing/comptech and they usually run in the 3-5k range. Turbos require a lot of supporting mods and a full kit typically doesnt only cost 1700 like our Zage kits. I think we have been spoiled with the price those kits go for.

[BEEF]

yea but the turbo kits also give you a lot more power...

the low side seems to be around the 160whp mark.

Yea I dont disagree with that, I would like to go the turbo route too and had a snail with mani, bov, feed/return lines, fittings, and an emanage blue ready to build my own setup but I decided against it for my daily, just too much work and maintenance needed to keep it running reliably day in and day out. In my case the s/c may be better for the daily grind even if I have to save up a little more to get one.

I'm sorry this thread is so off topic now, my bad OP

If you've never been in one, let me tell you that a s/c'd Yaris still puts a whole lot of smile in the seat.

THat will need some modding to fit our cars

[vten]

Im using the retrofitted blitz supercharger from the xb.. Just like the link posted above, I believe the difference is only on the TB mounting. Ours is 4 bolts compare to 3 bolts on the xb.... Custom adapter and a modified intake is needed.

The eBay one went for $1900 plus $125 shipping. :thumbsup:

What about the rotrex? For about a grand more than the blitz you seemingly get way more bang for the buck...

I would love to see someone running that kit with a review ^^^

[cali yaris]

^ ME TOO :biggrin:

[BEEF]

(speaking of the rotex supercharger)

I think that is more the issue. nobody knows much about it. it is more power but it is 25% more money as well and forgetting the percentage and power...$5,000 is a lot of money.

around here, you can get a descent (stressing "descent") miata for that kind of money.

if garm would either put one on a car of his own or "donate" ;) one to be put on, I am sure he could drum up more business for it. real numbers always helps a sale. I'd love to see a dyno sheet on that supercharger vs stock.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

I wouldn't mind being donated one to be tested (and kept :tongue:).

didn't figure that one would fly.

[1.5]

Need a tester lol?

[baseballfan416]

Definitely not enough info on the rotrex...

1) does the intercooler come with the system?
2) is the fuel management plug and play?

You wont get the whine like a roots style lol
