Well, she lives. Decided to fire up the Malibu today. Seems quieter running the two with the BOV then with the single without. After she warmed up a bit, and a quick look over, blipped the throttle. A quick rap to 4200 showed 8 psi with some belt slippage. I'm all grins... BW

SATURN5

Looks very cool man. Job well done.

JoBy

Nice!

Where are you going to put the air filters?

Guido

Wow! Im impressed!

Ya know, you only live about an hour away from me. How hard would it be to talk you into an evening of talkin cars and tossing back a few beers? haha

SATURN5

There will be a crossover tube behind the blowers, with a filter box sitting on top of the plenum. Cold air will be ducted in via scoops in the hood. BW

SATURN5

Not hard... BW

JoBy

That sounds like a good solution!

bhaas

Very nice. Job well done. Sure is a clean setup. Nice an shiny to.

Sweet!

lykwiphyde

wow! that looks really nice. im curious on how much all that cost?

B4Ctom1

I would be tempted to do the K&N cone thing even if it was temporary, SWEET JOB! :-)

SATURN5

thanks everyone..

cost so far is around 900.

I may do the cone thing for now, just to get filters on it

I have to adjust the drivers side unit forward a 1/8th" I am just a bit out of alignment.

Did get the rear supports done and a brace from the TB to the intake tube.

Last nights run netted 10 psi at 4200. Damn I need to get this bugger road worthy. cheers, BW

lykwiphyde

$900.00? that seems kinda cheap for 2 supercharges, did you already have some of the materials?

Damon

Looks great! Love those hopped-up 78-87 G-bodies!

You might want to go post this over at montecarloss.com as well and blow some minds.

SATURN5

paid $250 for each blower shipped. 500
paid $50 for each intercooler. 100
paid $250 for misc materials. 250

so thats 850, less belts,clamps,bolts, etc

87transam5.7tpi

where'd you get the blowers? do they have a website? thanks

Josh

SATURN5

one from Ebay, the other from the www.sccoa.com site. BW

D M N

DUDE man DUDE that looks awsome that is exactly what i was thinking of doing except i didnt, i dont know, what kind of problems did you have with the computers? and how much did does superchargers cost? and and dam man thats awsome and how much boost you get from does? and do you have cooling problems? man that looks awsome

True Power

How are the blowers secured? I assume you measured up some custom brackets? How do the brackets bolt to the engine?

SATURN5

Using a 730/749 with SyTy $58 mask with 2 bar MAP.
Blowers cost me $500.
Currently seeing 12 lbs.
No cooling problems.. stays at 180.
thanks.

BW

SATURN5

Bolts to the brackets up front, and braces rear from the intake and headers.

SATURN5

nother shot.

D M N

I got a better idea, I'm going to put 3 blowers on a 4.6L cadillac i know some come with them stock i will have one in the rear TB and then have the same setup as you what do you think?

D M N

ok repost-

I will have one where the intake manifold was with rear TB and then do the same setup as you

2.73's Suck

thats so awsome man, you are now my inspiration to do the same thing but in a first gen rx7, well done!!!:rockon:

D M N

how did you configure the belts i mean did you take out the air conditionar and unimportant componanats

I RoC A Z

Very SWEET! have any times yet? or HP numbers

FyreLance

My G<x>od that engine bay looks scary... lol...

I bow down :hail:

SATURN5

No air, heat, or smog.

single belt.

see sig.

SATURN5

You should hear it...

Thanks.

MrDude_1

ok, so i wake up this morning and i think to myself as i lie in bed:

man, it would be cool if i get this TPI system powdercoated the same color red as my car.....

i get up, as im getting somthing to eat, i think, yea, a supercharged red TPI... would look kinda cool..... (then i started thinking about using a LT1 intake instead......)


anyhoo, you beat me too it.. lol...

so i looked at the site you mentioned... and they linked me to here:

http://www.canadiansupercharger.com/

where can i look up the part numbers and get info on the chargers they have here? the prices are CHEAP!



btw, know where i can find a whipple screw charger cheap? thats more like what i was thinking of.

SATURN5

Hehe.. It's not powercoated, but Sikkens basecoat/clearcoat ureathane. try www.sccoa.com site.. you find M90s for $200 or so used.
No idea on whipples.. BW

D M N

so your car isnt emmision leagal man that sucks so you only use it as a racer

True Power

Depends. Here in KS there are no emissions. So that thing would be absolutely legal to drive here

SATURN5

Haha... "legal" no..

Does it pass emissions... yes, very easily.

D M N

how i was in the impression that a smog pump effects the exhaust

SATURN5

Part maybe that a 80 Malibu did not come with a smog pump. Also it had a carb..

but the numbers were real clean.

HC's 17.5 ppm, limit 157 ppm.
CO .03%, limit 1.98%

I do have a 3 inch 2 way cat.

D M N

hmmm thats really interesting but with no air i'm guessing this isnt your daily driver also what other mods have you done to your ride

SATURN5

No its not my daily driver, I have 3 other cars too

therckid

you know what d00d for the power it seems to have those times suck ***. Are you sure those wern't before you added the superchargers. maybe you should also get some 18in wheels on it with a 9 or 10 inch width, like porshe wheels. that might improve your times a lot.

SATURN5

Oh.. its a bit quicker then that... I just leave that ET up to give persons like yourself something to reply too. Thank you for your input. It's been duelly noted and considered. BW

Grumpy
