Nope - unless you can find a used one and that does not happen too often. Once we have it we love it and don't wish to part with it

 

Yea I haven't ever seen a S/C for sale on here. Seems like S/C owners are very happy with their system and their 8. Turbo owners seem to always sell their kits and revert to stock before selling the car. Guess that tells you something, though not sure what that is.

 

I only know of two that sold. I suspect that a third one did but have not been able to confirm it. I finally located the one that sold (by Pettit) to an owner in San Diego.....he now lives in L.A and is having his engine rebuilt at a shop in L.A. (engine loss due to other causes not the s/c).

Several owner have disappeared from the forums so any of them could have sold the vehicles complete with the s/c. If they sold them separately I'm sure we would have heard.

 

Brice had one for sale a couple months ago and I think it sold within a week,,,,

 

Did you ever get a chance to work on that map you were building Phil???

 

I have to admit defeat - my attempt is on the first page and it's terrible (does not work correctly). I have no computer skills.

If I remember correctly, Brice sold that S/C in the first two days at a top dollar price. Not demeaning just showing the Pettit s/c seems to hold it's value.

 

well FINALLY got a boost /vacuum gauge installed.
I am getting 9lbs boost at 3K (i think- things happening so damn fast i cant look at it long)
is that what everyone else is kind of getting?
My source is the lower intake manifold.

I am getting 12 to 14 PSI at anything over 3K if I go full throttle.


Yeah, things happen VERY fast!

 

Charles, I don't plan on being around if we lose it.

Now, anyone want to buy this dude's car before he makes bail??

 

When my first car burned, the insurance co. sold it to an auction/salvage yard, and I can't trace it down anywhere. The blower was still on it, but is going to need some tender loving refurbishing.

Monchichi, trying to find a cheaper Pettit blower is a waste of time. These systems take a load of R&D, are made from expensive parts by hand and/or by expensive CNC machinery, add on bits like intercoolers and oil fill relocation kits, custom brackets, and consequently they cost a lot. Even a small axial supercharger can cost $3500, and that doesnt even include installation, remapping/retuning, pizza and beer. Add to this the fact that there is scuttlebutt that Pettit Superchargers may be hard to come by in the future because of difficulty in sourcing the superchargers themselves from Lysholm. My advice is if you want one, take out a loan and buy it now; the dollar is working in your favor.

 

so when i take it to a full load i should see 12-14 lbs? It doesnt hold that does it?
And if 9 is the max then probably i have a bad blow off valve if there are no leaks.?

To late, I got it back when you were looking the other way.

 

Well Wess, sorry again I had to cut the instal short. As you can see in the picture my dog went off his rocker, I think he was a beaver in his past life. Its not a completed instal yet but after 3 days and a little bit of changing the way I put his kit together. Keep in mind that the picture was taken 5 or 6 hours before I finished the harness. Notice the coils.

 

A few people now that I changed the design of the I/C to be lower profile and changed the angle of intake to hopfully be able to use the stock airbox.

 

Looks good, all put together,,,,

 

thanks to you

 

Now for the Stealth treatment, paint that **** black,,,

 

Agreed.

 

awesome - that must be pulling turbo equalling torque if you can do that - would like to see a dyno !!!!

 

Hey Moon - what exactly is that holding up the blower in the side view? The labeling on the bottle is a little fuzzy if I blow it up, but I'm pretty sure it says "Viagra"...

 

The bottle and blower have the same effect.

 

Dam, I thought you salvaged it......Now there is the possibility of another blower out there.

Moon: I am wondering if the dog or one of those items in the boxes next to the door did the damage.

 

sweet---using the oem or RB's airbox ---or a custom "Moon" airbox will address a issue that is always part of a s.c. but so far I havent heard anyone speak off.
That is --S.C. temps-----yes i know we have spoken a little on radiant heat and shielding --but I am speaking of the intake air with the under the hood airfilter. And I am speaking of the idleing in hot weather and bumper to bumper traffic in which the s.c. is still pumping (it always pumps) and the intake air is 150+F due to high underhood temps.
Getting a true cold air on this system is a great idea (some of you have done custom jobs already) and keeping the same lenght maf pipe is a great.
I did a mutilation job on the RB box one time but then I had to go with a bigger airfilter and that made it not fit anymore.
Good job.

BY THE WAY I NEVER GET OVER 10LBS BOOST----I HAVE THE BIGGER PULLEY----WHY?????
IT DOES HOLD IT.

Have you tried reseting your Fuel trims,,,

 

I've got an SC instrumentation question.

If you have say the Racing Beat Gauge Pod with Oil Temp & Pressure and Coolant Temp, and you add a Lotek dash 3-gauge pod for AFR Wideband O2 Lambda and Boost/Vac %, what 3rd (6th overall) gauge would you add?
