I havnt been able to find a supercharger kit for and 85'. Ive heard that paxton makes a kit for the 85 but I havnt been able to find it on the web. Anyone know. Thanks

Paxton used to make a kit - not sure if they do anymore.

Thats not a link for 85 TPI cars. Maybe you should read the links before you post them?

benroc

Not only I`ve read it but I`ve got a Procharger from them
and if it works for a TPI it works for all TPI`s.
Maybe you should think when you read

and if it works for a TPI it works for all TPI`s with maybe a litle
modification.

Ou, maybe I should get banned for telling the truth to a moderator twice

*sigh* I cannot believe I actually have to spell this out.

Alright benroc. Thirdgen 101:

85-87 TPI thirdgens, were equipped with a v-belt accessory drive system.

88-92 TPI thirdgens, were equipped with a serpentine type accessory drive system.

That being the case, there are supercharger KITS designed to work with both types of belt drives. The kits for 88-92 are more plentiful. Paxton USED to manufactur a kit that worked with the 85-87 type v-belt drive but they discontinued that line.

That being said, if someone wants to convert from the earlier v-belt to the later serpentine setup, they can do. Its time and money consuming as the power steering, water pump, alternator and air conditioner all need to be changed. Then, you can use one of the 88-92 kits on the 85-87 model year setups.

I have an 86 IROC and I have BEEN down this road. I converted to the later style in the past because I went from one of the old paxton kits (which is junk I might add) to the later style so I could put a Vortech supercharger on my car.

Make any sense now?

It makes sense , you did to have a better set up let him decide
if he wants to do it

what is the prob with the old paxton kit? bad reliability? bad performance? bad fit/finish?
