Superchargers in general have a linear curve so if you hit 500wtq it’s at the very top near redline, your motor is spinning at a high RPM so it’ll wear the motor out less quickly. On the flip side, twin turbo setups make torque very low in the RPM band which puts a lot of turning/twisting force on those con rods which is how you end up having a bad day if you just “tune for max HP”, disregard the fact you’re making 550+ tq, and give ‘er a full send or 2, hope you got $$$ for a built block. Then again, the torque pulling you like a freight train down low is what people love. It’s all what you want to do.

Still need to see a dyno or driving video of the TG C39-110 kit.... I need to hear some S/C soundsssss

But the Fast Intentions Twin Turbo guys have been running over 550wtq for years - some at 580wtq.

Stillin plenum with A2A setup....15.2 psi with a v3 SCi trim 2.87 serpentine pulley, 3.47 jackshaft pulley, 2.95 supercharger pulley, K&N filter. Validated through EcuTek data log. I’m sure if I had an Si or upgraded Ti trim and no filter it may be more...but that v3 can’t take that abuse for long before the oil slinger is destroyed and is eaten by the gears-trust me on that.

I have also have Stillin plenum with A2A setup but about 2000rpm slower with my pulley sizes (checked with Vortex calculator), but with upgraded Si trim and only get 10psi. I'm also running the "standard" belts on serp and SC. Are you using the Gates "RPM" belt(s)?
I have ordered these to see if they will help with boost, otherwise I have no idea how you could get 50% more boost than me, but would love to know.

It does happen. I have nothing more than a stock v3 SI and an RPM belt on the supercharger side (planning on trying to add one to the serp side as well as an experiment in the near future). I really can't stress enough how much of a difference that RPM belt makes. That normal belt stretches VERY quickly and begins to slip as a result. The last dyno run I did with the "normal" belt was at 10.5psi because of how bad it got.

I don't think we should continue to derail Topgunz topic with this old kit talk though.

True. Lets get back on topic here.

We are going back to the Dyno on Monday and will have additional boost level logs to share. I think we will do a 15psi log, 20psi and then also one where we remove the filter system to see where the kit can go. However, we will most likely run out of fuel again so we will chop throttle at 100% duty cycle and then superimpose the boost line to show what the kit could do if someone were to string it all the way out.

I was talking to a guy on the phone last night and he was saying that he was trying for the NA record and was taking his motor up to 8500rpm on the dyno. He is now going built block and this kit. Cant wait to see someone run this thing up.

Stock intake manifold? I recall there being problems where the stock manifold can crack at those higher boost pressures.

It should last at that. Mine started leaking after a good day of running 25psi of boost. That boost pressure was at 4000rpms all the way to 8k.

Yes stock manifold.

Do you have a picture of one of these cracked ones? I think its more of a scare tactic for people to buy unnecessary parts and spend money.

WRONG, they don't crack. They start leaking at the back. 20psi should be fine. I ran 22psi with no issues. 25psi, forget it. If you get up in the 20psi range that is build
motor territory anyways.

Agreed, just wanted to relay how it was achieved. That being said...I would MUCH MUCH rather move to the rotrex setup. Much easier to reach HP #’s(if your chasing that), the efficiency of the supercharger to me is one of the biggest pros; plus I HATE the Stillen manifold...I have the jx/qx60/maxima(whatever you want to go with there) T/B’s and adapters that absolutely do not fit because of the location of the Stillen mounting for the stock t/b. Having the stock manifold would just be that much better, especially with the bigger t/b’s. Super impressive Topgunz-keep up the fantastic work!

How'd that dyno-day turn out?

It was supposed to be but by the time we received the new injectors and had them in we only had a day to road tune prior to the dyno and it was raining that day. So we had to push it back.

Any updates Aaron?
