Well it's not taking the engine to stratospheric levels, the auto trans should be able to handle it, just don't go mad and try to do burnouts with it...

i actucally dont know how to do burnouts with an automatic haha. all i know is that you put the car in "N" and rev the car hella then drop the lever to "d".....but there's a rev limiter on the car if I'm correct.

Yeah that's what I mean... not good for an auto tranny even with a normal engine, even worse with a boosted one!

The car that Blitz did up for the show circuit (w/ its supercharger in the bay) was an automatic. Its in that issue of Siphon magazine, along with the dyno sheets. I want to say it put HP in the 130-140 range. That sounds like fun to me.

I can get a 2.3L Whipple supercharger for my Cobra for cheaper than that :) and that will give up to 200 more HP, not 50. I'm assuming this isn't CARB or 50 state legal. It does look cool. I'd get it if it was around $2500. For $3500 I'd rather go turbo. |

Do the math on the displacement to HP gain ratio....about the same or better.

Sweet. I haven't been able to get my hands on the Siphon mag so I don't know wut's up. If they dropped it into an auto maybe I will in the future =P

The Whipple is better in the displacement to HP gain because its almost $500 cheaper. Its also a twin screw vs the roots design of the blitz. It is apples to oranges anyway, I was just throwing it out there to reference the price. That is pretty steep. That wasn't really my point though. If you are going to spend that kind of cash, you should look at going turbo. The gains will be better for the money. Plus it doesn't seem to be smog legal, so there is no benefit from a legality perspective over a turbo. |

Japanese parts will always be more expensive then American parts, that is a really bad comparison. How many supercharged Yaris/Vitz are there going to be in the entire world compared to how many supercharged small blocks from ford or chevy are there? Quantity and production cost owns everything. |

especially in SF where you sorta need more low end torque i think a supercharger would be a better option. Please correct me if I'm wrong as I'm still learning.

Quite correct, a supercharged vehicle will benefit from more low end torque.

You are correct. The blitz is a roots style supercharger, so you will gain low end touque. With a turbo or centirfugal supercharger, you would see larger gains in the mid-tope end, and no difference in the low RPMs.
