Hello guys a friend is selling a Thunderbird supercharger for like 500 dollars and I was wondering if it will be worth getting it for my l98 Iroc? What parts would I need to get it installed and so on. Thanks for the help!

 

anyone?

 

i thinks thats a bit much... what year is the blower

 

No i dont think so.

its a ford part, so its not gonna fit.. and its probely a v6

that is if you were talking about a Ford Thunderbird or a "Thunderbird" supercharger if there is a such thing.


Thats just my 2cents

 

Look on ebay ,they sell them on there all the time under Eaton supercharger and Supercoupe supercharger or blower ,that will give you an idea of the value and they are a bit small.

 

being a roots style houseing, where heck would you put it??you can remote mount these, but if you keep your a/c and and air pump its got nowhere to go.


it will make a difference but not as much as you would get from others and it would be complete custom fab to mount=alot of work.

 

the thunderbird s/c is a v-6 with a roots style. it will not work on your v-8

 

oh ok thanks guys...any recommendations on a nice power adder?

 

nitrous or JY turbos

 

for a budget poweradder i wouldnt reccomend nitrous. first off i havent been impressed with its results on near stock (or even bolt on) third gens. i had a good friend spraying a 150 shot in his 91 L98 and was running in the 12s was the best i ever heard. to me that kinda stress isnt worth it for something as slow as the 12s.

i also dont reccomend junkyard turbos either. unless you get real lucky and find something aftermarket there isnt anything stock that IMO would be worth the hassle or the stress (on the engine). i would reccomend something like a smaller 60-1 turbo and create your own manifolds. or you can buy some BBS manifolds and bolt on the turbo of your choice. that would be ideal so you can size your turbo to your goals and dont have to worry about building turbo manifolds. but know that building your own (even if you use the DIY kits on the net) will be MUCH cheaper. i say buy a new turbo because sooner or later you are gonna wanna turn up the boost, build your engine and make more power. now with a set of junkyard turbos youll need to replace them with a set designed for good performance and maybe even remake part or all of your manifolds. do it right the first time and youll save money.
