VF Engineering Coming Out With Stage 2 Supercharger!!
#32
Hmmm, I always though the pistons were too. My mom has a TL Type-S and that thing has titanium rods and a magnesium intake manifold. Crazy that a lot of cars are coming with sweet internals and such these days. There's a lot of guys on here with 20-30K running around with superchargers, quite a few daily drivers too. I'd like to see more, hell do a youtube search and theres only like 3 videos.

If the rods are forged but pistons arent why not upgrade the pistons to forged dish so the compression ratio can drop and you can safely run more boost. The V2 superchargers from vortech can handle 20 max. A little tuning, a little more fuel, a little more boooooooost bada boom bada bing over 500 wheel. BTW did they put the stage 2 out yet?

nuckin futs... I'm thinking of staying with a 6 PSI and 91 octane tuning so I can keep the engine life up a little. Some of the numbers you guys are talking about sound potential catastrophic.
In the days of building rods with my old man, you learn you can't upgrade one thing without breaking another... hope the motors stand up to this new areas of boost, especially for us 3.4L folks.

You actually just confirmed my point... there was a need to upgrade motor internals in order to run more boost/HP.
I'd be a little nervous doing a SC with the level of boost referred to in here on a bone stock motor not actually "designed" for such a level of application.

I wonder if VF's news was the reason that TPC dropped their price to around $7000 for their supercharger. Either way, I'm more interested in VF's stage II, as long as it doesn't destroy the other mechanical components along the way. I may be speaking completely out of my ***, but could VF provide some sort of electronic, variable boost mechanism, (like turbos) allowing the driver to adjust the amount of boost? Or would that require computer changes on-the-fly to account for fuel, etc?
On another note, does anybody know how many splines the OEM drive axles are manufactured with? Back in the Mitsu 3000GT Turbo days, guys were shredding the splines due to too much HP.
Good stuff.

It's very easy to control the boost with a supercharger. It just takes a variable bypass valve control along with a variable control of the MAF.

On the website vortech rates it for 20psi max how would there be that big of a pressure drop theres not that much plumbing.
#45
Well it may do 20 max, but not at a sustainable rate. As in the heat created and stress on the SC at that point may only last for a little while before it flies apart.
I think what is meant by 10 psi being the most efficient is that its not overheating and can sustain those levels for long periods of time.
Remember, as heat goes up, performance goes down....
