Any one have a look at the mogwa site latley, anywayz quite interesting.

Dave from rpw has said they are currently developing a a supercharger for the magna around the 6 grand mark, sorry if this is old news, but it sounds really interesting ,not a bad price.

Any one else heard anything about this as it hasnt been updated in a while?

thanks
Pat

yeh ive enquired about it, told to ask back in a month,
i spent my money on other things in the mean time though

the kit is here im not sure if its been put on a car yet though

yeah it is meant to be similar to the sprintex one, but with a small intercooler and slightly higher boost? i still think it is in development at the moment

Id be stoked when it does come oout though, i heard 6 grand anyone heard anything more specific, price wise?

yeah its gonna be around that mark

there are pics of the kit somewhere in bits i think?? i seen it somewhere and it wasnt the sprintex kit.

looks really good!!

geez, if it were 6k installed, with all the goodies, i'd consider getting it done on my next holiday !

doubt its installed mate.

found it

He says approx 6000 fitted and tuned for the 4psi kit non intercooled one.

good deal?

i reckon winding it up to 10psi and the intercooler and it'll make some seriously good power. 10psi on the stock 3.5 engine would be safe wouldnt it?? they look bloody good to! i will definetly be considering it if i decide to mod my engine

I read some where in that thread dave from RPW says the 3.0ls are stronger and should be good with s/c, apparently a pretty stock magna they are getting up to 220/240 kws

the magnas are pretty strong engines and i beleive they run fairly low compression anyway

If you look at the dates on daves posts on mogwa it was early last month when they got the kit so hopefuly it will be close as it sounds like a very interesting mod and to run with stock internals too is always nice (to begin with anyways)

its very good to be able to keep stock internals if you wana just run a nice, simple and reliable setup like i would, and also save yourself considerable money in doing custom internals

if they did a 7lb intercooled kit, with the greddy and everything they talked about, for around the 6-8k mark, id drive over by Xmas

this is not as good as the sprintex unit which is a "screw type" s/c as opposed to the "roots type" s/c RPW will have...
if u dont no why twin screw s/c are better do a search it has been discussed before recently....
sure with the RPW intercooled unit you will be able to run higher than 7-10psi (sprintex unit) but you will also pay more and require engine strenghtening as with any high boost setup....
i think for 7k the Sprintex unit would be the best...twin screw s/c also build boost way earlier among many other advantages such as cooler intake charge...but if u wanna spend over 10k get the RPW intercooled unit...but if i was going to spend over 10k I would go turbo as it has been proven before..
cheers

Also the sprintex one doesnt void warranty and is ADR compliant.. Which i doubt any of RPW's stuff is.. :)

ah very tru about warranty :cry:


back to the drawing board for me

Thats my point, simple and reliable...
I don't need to worry about warranty or the sorts and am just afer a little more outa my maggas performance wise

well actually i think it does void the warrenty on mitsubishi's part, but what sprintex are doing is validating it on there side.
i.e. you have a problem, take it to sprintex over mitsubishi
Thats what i was told, please correct me. (although i don't think it matters, i could never afford one)

I believe there is some kind of deal between MMAL and Sprintex when fitting the kit to a brand new vehicle.. I don't think the warranty coverage applies otherwise because Sprintex can't guarantee the car didn't have pre-existing problems before they fitted the supercharger.

If this is true that is a verrrry good buisness move. :)
i like it.

Am I the only person that thinks 6K is a bit rich?

Also... my engine already has a comp ratio of 10/1 would i be able to pump the 10psi without ****ing my engine?

Interesting design, will be interesting to see how it develops :D

you wont need strengthened internals for 7-10psi, i dont think i would refer to those boost levels as high boost. You wouldnt need any internals to be strengthened untill above 10-12psi

Yes ;)

You might be pushing it. It might deal with the pressure ok but it'll probably knock.

Yes ;)
Hey i can get a 3L MIVEC front cut for half that.

yeah and the rest to install it!

and even then it will still have less power

Im thinking long term engine survival. running enough boost to run down the same car with a mivec engine would drasticly shorten my engine life. not to mention make my insurance company cringe.

Im not saying the kit doesnt have massive potential and wouldnt make gobs of power... I just dont think id fit one, not for 6k anyways. 5k... if there was a 7psi pulley i could get... maybe.
