Folks,

Hello from the other side of the globe, this was an interesting product for the Mitsubishi 3000GT aka GTO in other parts. Please take a look at the links provided and provide thoughts as to how it could be used if at all on our application (6G74 3.5 L) :bowrofl:

This product was discussed in this forum here in the US http://www.diamanteowners.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4540

Some folks liked it, others had issues with the placement and type of SC but I thought I would import the topic here and see what the general feeling was across different boards.

Thank you all:)

the placement is the main issue in magnas but pomejo one of our users is currently have a SC fitted to his VRX

he would be the man to talk to abou scing

had a look at all your info.sorry dont like the look of it and only 15 seconds of boost at a time .
i like my set up,a side mounted vortex with inter cooler witch can run up to 20 psi that one only runs 8 psi
do you want to go fast or just want a little extra power
do you want 12+ seconds quarter mile or will you be happy with less
i have spent the last 6 months and a hell of a lot of money to get the best sc that will fit right and perform the best and still have around 2 months more work on it
but the choice is up to you but for 15 sec of boost what about nos

I had an idea for placement of a supercharger ... ditch the aircon compressor and mount it there.

Then get an electric air con compressor ..... like that used in the Toyota Prius.

I thought it was a good idea until I found out the compressor on the prius costs ... wait for it .... $3500 ... bloody nora! :) The poor bloke on the phone copped a "you have to be bloody ****ting me" ... but its true!.

Pomejo, are you refering to the SC or to the electric SC they mention on that site? I ready very little about that electric set up but I was under the impression this SC was a roots set up. With the electirc you had a limited shot of boost, not with the SC

Heh heh... Motor Mag said all those electric fans and stuff have one thing in common - they don't work :bowrofl:

I agree, these guys just happen to have those kits. The SC was just interesting since it fit the SOHC and the DOHC versions of the V6 on the 3KGT.

Pomejo,

What type of SC are you using and where is it placed ??

mines a kapa vortex the big model mounting is on top of the intake plenum witch has been converted to make the sc fit. it can run 20+psi

pomejo, do you mean CAPA (Centrifugal Air Pumps Australia) & a Vortech s/c? If so, how can they valley mount it, since all the Vortech S/C are centifugal? (look like turbos)

Also do you know if the CAPA Pajero S/C kit will bolt on the Magna since they are essentially the same setup at 90 degrees. I suppose when you think about, you'd only really need the adapter plate to go onto the intake.

Sandman, would you happen to have a link for the manufacturer you spoke of in the previous post? I did a google and got nothing.
