*EDIT* CHARGER IS IN!!*

Hi all,

I kept on saying to myself "I'll open a thread when its finished" but I couldn't resist.

My 99 Verada Xi (4sp Auto) is at G&D Performance in Cranbourne Victoria getting the sprintex kit fitted as we speak. Everything is looking good so far and if all goes well it should be ready by tomorrow or Friday. I've also ordered a high performance fuel pump for my car cause I don't want to have the same issues as Tristian's car just so I can have piece of mind so it doesn't run lean.

My car already has CAI, K&N Panel, Inlet resonators removed, Pacemakers, straight through 2.5" exhaust with high flow CAT-no resonators :P and redback muffler.

Don't know what to expect yet but I'm very impressed with they way cittris' car runs.

Now before I go, I'd like to quote something from the other supercharged thread;

Also i have to say this due to some people if you want to have a go at me or my S/C then you can go and get *** coz i really don't care what these people have to say. Sorry it just infuriates me and it hurts.
I'll be taking the exact same approach.


Anyway, when it’s all done I'll post pics and hopefully put some vids up as well :D

On a lighter note, take it easy,

here is a link for some crazy vids of cittris' supercharger http://www.youtube.com/aussiemagna

Good luck. Hope you enjoy it.

awsome to hear micjaiy!

Cant wait to hear both these cars running!

I was just thinking to myself, there's been a lot of people buying Sprintex magna supercharger kits lately. Makes me wonder if Sprintex had priced the kit at $6,999 installed like it is now, would they have sold more kits and would we see more supercharged magnas? I definately think so. If the kit had been priced at $7k installed when I first got my car, I'd be supercharged today that's for sure.

Anyway, don't wanna steer this thread off course!

That is awesome dude! Personally I agree with you regarding people bagging out the s/c's. IMO a huge power boost with factory warranty is the best thing you could ask for, and at least your not forever in the shop.

cranbourne isn't too far from me, should go check it out :). Congrats man, you're gonna love it!

Top stuff mate, another S/C Magna in vic this time a Verada ohhh teh Sex appeal lol

cant wait to see it in action :thumbsup:

Sounds like you may be able to help... Im looking at getting a new car... a Legnum, which would be ablout 5-7k more than what I could seel my TH for.
So Im toying with going the TH Supercharger route instead purely for something unique and fun... and I have spend so many hours on my stereo I feel loathe to do it again.
So... 7k for the supercharger fitted... but anything else need doing? Exhaust, brakes etcetc? My car is stock.

Dont forget pics when all finished! :D

Cheers
Pete

price;

$6990 for the kit + installation (includes 1 yr 20,000km warranty)

$510 for performance feul pump + installation as the standard one doesn't have enough pressure to pump through.

There is other little things like oil change ($40??) and stuff but nothing else major

-Exhaust (at least 2.5") including extractors, CAI & Panel is highly recommend
-Also my car is auto and reqires a tranny cooler which i already got fitted a while back for around $250 installed (sprintex charge a little more) Manuals don't require this

*EDIT*

Brakes would be a good idea but i don't speed anyway, especially after loosing my lisence

My next serious major upgrades will be;
-Front calipers, pads and rotors
-Proper ECU tune
-Anti lift kit



My next stupid upgrades will be;
-RWD conversion
-Boost the kit up to 25 PSI and a monster tacho
-Hydros and a set of 22" chromies
-Respray to candy apple green and have number plates that say "S1KUN7"

Thats excellent news Michael, the more boosted magnas the better I say :cool: .

I'm sure you'll be very happy with the performance and drivability.

^ please tell me this is a joke :confused:

OOOH. Hope you enjoy it dude.

Be sure to post some power figures as my car seems very similar to yours.

Sounds awesome - can't wait to see pics/Vid
So jealous wish I had the cash for that kind of thing...

SC omg wat a waste of money. blah blah blah hehehehe

dude like i said before it will be so ****ing awsome. you will need a camera guy when you pick it up so give me a bell

i wanna see if you run into the garage like tris yelling "MY SUPER CAR MY SUPER CAR" :bowrofl: (ahhhh tris you will never live that down lol)

congrats

^ please tell me this is a joke :confused:
no.






.. i mean yes, that is a joke :bowrofl:

ROFL, go to vplates.com.au and type in S1KUN7, its availble lol

no.






.. i mean yes, that is a joke :bowrofl:
:( i was getting excited then!











lol not really.

****.....Looks like loosing your license for a while has let you accumulate some moneys....

ive only seen ya car once but it looked grouse so i freeken cannot wait to hear this thing now...

Congratulations!!!

Nice, can't wait to see one of these supercharged magnas!

Another Wild Stallion is Melbourne!!:cool:

After taking a small cruise in Tristians Animal, all I say is....

We need a sub group called "The Crazy @rsed Magna Squad"

Make sure You upgrade your handling and brakes too.

Stock setup just doesn't handle the boosted performance.

Good Luck and I look forward to the results.

i've got lowered suspension and pedders shocks, 17x8 rims with 235 wide rubber.. will just need a brake upgrade and a antilift kit then ill be fine :D

Recommend doing your swaybars too. 24mm front and 22mm rear. Makes the magna feel like a different car when cornering.

Nice, can't wait to see one of these supercharged magnas!

Makes you feel a little inadequate afterwards thoughlol When I got back into mine after Cittrius', I was like..WTF!!!!:bowrofl:

Anyway, just got off the phone with G&D..... sprintex forgot to send the ECU :doh:

BUT, just been told that its being sent via Air mail and they should recieve it today so hopefully no delay :)

Err - the standard fuel pump is usually utilized unless yours is dead. Have a look at the prices on RPW's website for a 2 X flow fuel pump (bosch) for about $200. For the price they are charging, it would want to be pretty good - walbro or something, but even these are in the $350 ish mark on ebay.

I wouldn't up the boost too much, you will not gain much as you get out of the efficiency region (more hot air). Candy apple green is gay too...:D


Kit comes with a CAI...

Interesting what they upsell on these kits from installer to installer... Talk to sprintex themselves in regards to the fuel pump - sounds fishy...

yeah i think its fishy too but i'd rather have piece of mind rather than my car on the side of the road.

I don't want anyone to take the "stupid" upgrades seriously lol there would be no way in hell that i would spray my car an ugly colour and up the boost on this kit. lol

So a tippy FWD Sprintex Supercharged magna runs around 14.5, correct?

yeap thats wat we saw cittris's car did the run.

So a tippy FWD Sprintex Supercharged magna runs around 14.5, correct?

nah it was a 14.41

nah it was a 14.41

WOAH look out! :bowrofl:

WOAH look out! :bowrofl:

bwahahahahahaha :bowrofl:

luv u tris mwah lol

Mate...thats mad. I reckon you should still get those number plates :D

For reals. It'd be fully sik uleh.

nah it was a 14.41
And i reckon it has got more in it too... :bowrofl:

man i want a supercharged magna i want a super, turbo, or n/a powered car, anything that moves and moves quick

its rather funny the power band of a magna, it **** 700- 3000, pulls 3000- 4300, then dies again till redline, and the moment its not in first gear, it struggles to pull anywhere

Spoke to G&D again

Computer arrived (Thank you jebus!)

Will be ready at 5PM tommorow night, I CAN'T WAIT!!

Might not get it dynoed as they might not have enough time. If they don't get time i'll get it dynoed sometime next week somewhere closer to home lol

ill be seeing u 2moro :D

I thought that was included in the installion? Before and after dynos?

I thought that was included in the installion? Before and after dynos?

nope

Sprintex rkn you don't need to dyno your car for the kit

i had to ask G&D directly.. Which they were more than happy to do....

I thought that was included in the installion? Before and after dynos?


the kit comes basically with a plug and play ecu thats already been programmed

So a tippy FWD Sprintex Supercharged magna runs around 14.5, correct?

Why do I get the feeling there is a comment about how fast a stock manual Ralliart runs down the 1/4 comming??

It might not sound like much, but to put it in perspective, the best I was able to squeeze out of a 4spd auto was a 15.5, and that was with the full catalogue of "bolt on" upgrades + an emanage. It was also in the middle of December, with 32deg air temp, but I can't think of any 4spd autos which have run much better than that.

So if it's safe to say a sprintex kit will knock over a second off the 1/4 mile time of an auto magna, then in my book its a pretty worthwhile mod. I spent a hell of alot more than $7,000 to knock 1.1sec of my personal best ET.

BTW - Tristan, what was your trap speed and 60' times like on this 14.41 pass??

Don't forget we own heavy FWDs with low gear ratios and open diffs, it's gonna be hard to get any power to the ground and 1/4 mile times wont show huge improvements. From rolling starts you will be slaying people, and mph figures will prove this.

I think it is interesting to note that Sprintex designed the supercharger initially for the TL AWD. The majority of people who have bought them on this site have put them on FWD Magnas.

Having had my car supercharged for over a year now I can tell you that it is a worthwhile mod. I have recently had an issue with mine, however the guys at Sprintex resolved the issue without question and I have my car back in top condition. I must say I have not received better customer service and back=up of a product for any car I have ever owned.

Oh and one last point - as of 2 days ago Sprintex only has 13 left, deposits already taken on some and the others expected to be sold prior to them coming off the production line later this month. If you want one I'd suggest you get in and organise it now.

Thats excellent news Michael, the more boosted magnas the better I say :cool: .

I'm sure you'll be very happy with the performance and drivability.

Sif boosted..:P

N/A FTW..:P


Good work mate.. You will be very happy.. cant wait to see it done..:)

So are you saying you're going to stick with the NA power now??? forever??

What the hell is happening with your car anyway??

Sif.. NA for now and we already started on the blower plans but that will happen late next year.. Got to get this engine started and run in first..:P


Silly TB/TPS issues.. prob because its a FORD part..:P Bloody Mustangs..:P

Lovin the comments about the droid rear bar on youtube, you boys are just saying what were all thinking! :bowrofl:

Looking forward to hearing about more 1/4mile times from these machines, gawd they sound unreal uleh.

sorry i didn't reply to your PM but I'll say something now :D

It is good to know that this product has a warranty and that they cover all costs including towtrucks to bring the car back to the shop.. i personally didn't want to do something like what BB has done because I'd be so bloody paranoid that something will go wrong and I'd have to fork out another 2 grand.

BTW not having a go at your car Black Beard as I love the fact some people have the guts and the money to pull something unique like that off :D

has anyone put this kit on a manual??? if so any idea on quarter times??

has anyone put this kit on a manual??? if so any idea on quarter times??


Dont worry they seem to be all autos, we can take them, sometimes. But I'd say 13's easily.

has anyone put this kit on a manual??? if so any idea on quarter times??


theres a manual ralliart i think thats charged

edit just checked Reallyart is manual supercharged

Sounds unreal, I am sure you will be very happy with the results, as anyone would be if they were getting there magna superchaaaaaaaaaaaaarged.:cool:

I have a supercharged manual. No idea of quarter mile times because the fun police in Canberra deem it unnecessary for us to have a dragstrip. I'm guessing 13 something for the quarter though.


has anyone put this kit on a manual??? if so any idea on quarter times??

well i got it!!

its a good improvement but I can't tell since is so hot here...everything is ****ing hot, my aftermarket feul pump is screaming its tits off because of the heat lol

otherwise it sounds wicked

G&D told me I have a bad leak in my exhaust somewhere near the front of the car which i suspected.. also my drivers side engine mount was completely crushed :redface: i knew my car was idling a little bit rough but sheesh

Anyway, going out to take some pics and hopefully some movies!!

PS. I haven't got it dynoed yet, i have no idea what 1/4 mile time it can do so only time will tell

well i got it!!

Awesome dude, get some pics and sound clips if possible, movie would be great!!

Once again good work mate i hope you enjoy it!!

Temperature dropped heaps, that weird noise from my fuel pump went away and it was awesome!

Videos of my car and tristians car should be coming courtesy of Ashneel..Vtec bro! lol

Will take some photos in the day

Now before I go any futher I'd like to thank the following;
Sprintex - for developing such a kit and customer support
G&D Performance - for installation of the kit and finding my rough idle problem :)
AMC Members - for advice, support and the kind comments that have been left in this thread, thank you.

**** me micijay has a nice car....

that thing pulls hard.... and sounds like a weed wacker lol

what more could you want

ill upload the vids tommorrow at work

i'm awaiting anxiously lol

:thumbsup: <--- 2
2 thumbs up mate :D

I love it, good work. Now if i could just get around to doing it. I keep think, hell yeah and then thinking but i should save my money. God damn my "Good with Money since you where a child"ness.

Enjoy your new addition, get some vids and times up asap!

Cant wait to see some videos dude, and more importantly I cant wait to see dyno results as my car is very similar to yours *except supercharger* :rant: :rant:

Can you get some vids from outside.

Well done mate. Congrats on the install. Sounds great and nice looking car.
Will probably see you on the streets since youre in the South East.

Can you get some vids from outside.

yer i have/trying to arrange a minimeet this sunday and then we will get some good vids

think of these as a teaser

Mic, Trist..

Lets organise a meetup this weekend so i can get some proper footage of these 2 beats.

Sunday would be ideal for me?

*edit* hahah thinking the same thoughts Tristian.

BWHAHAHAHAHA u pissers. Good stuff Mic great to see another do-er and not talker :D

Great minds think alike :D

But Definetly... See my thread in the Vic section everyone

Funny Videos, but dont really show much of the supercharging goodness.

I love the sound it makes. I'd pay the $7k just for that!

Hi Mick congrats on the install. Just take it easy dude you dont want to loose that licence of yours.. ;)

I love the sound it makes. I'd pay the $7k just for that!
lol there are much cheaper ways of getting that sound.
Also something that hasn't really been brought up, what changes are there to your regular services? do they happen more frequent? do certain things wear out quicker? etc.

That'd make a great ad for Sprintex...

"Is that a turbo?!?!"

"Nar, Sprintex maaate!"

Awesome video's guys... well done on the install!

Now go and see Bain and get some wicked good footage.

:D

come pick me up b|tch!

Yeah, I should definately be there on sunday so come and check it out.

In regards to things wearing out and servicing.. Since superchargers require WAY less maintence than turbos do (ie; oil changes, etc) it shouldn't be much more maintence required.
Sprintex have a general guide and even after the warranty is over, support for this thing shouldn't be too much of an issue i hope. The only things that i can think of wearing out would be things in the driveline (gearbox, diff, cvs) but the auto kit comes with or recommends that you to have a tranny cooler fitted to prevent any excess wear and tear.


come pick me up b|tch!
you just passed the swear filter, you need to be banned! :D

Congratulations dude. Love the way your car is turning out, very well thought out. :D

In addition to that i am almost certain that Sprintec advised that the S/c Only requires a change of belt every 50K and then general oil changes...

Also when you change gears (atleast in my car) it retards the ignition and cuts boost and once you have changed gears it comes back on... Just another way of protecting the G/B

BWAHAHAHAHAHA love the 3rd vid :bowrofl:

HOT DIGGITY!! i want one!!! how's it go now with that thing strapped to it?

HOT DIGGITY!! i want one!!! how's it go now with that thing strapped to it?


cant speak on behalf of mic but i have a 4sp auto and same motor as his and ye it goes good. you can feel that extra punch. mmmmmmmmmmmmm torque :drool:

Just came back from my mates house and found that one of the wires was rubbing against the main pulley :confused: the rubber surrounding that covers the wire is a little mashed but luckily it didn't eat through to the wire.. so i got a couple of zip ties and made sure its not touching for now.
Will speak to G&D about this also i'm suppose to have a carbon fibre cover to conseal the main pulley and I'll get this all fixed.
BTW I took my dad for a spin and I think he was ****tin himself lol

HOT DIGGITY!! i want one!!! how's it go now with that thing strapped to it?
yeah pretty good on the old 4 speed auto

BTW I took my dad for a spin and I think he was ****tin himself lol

hahahaha, thats funny. I had a similar experience with my old man in the car - but I just couldn't bring myself to put the right foot all the way down.

Good to hear you're happy with the car mate!! It's about time there were some 4spd auto magnas that could boast good accelleration.

lol there are much cheaper ways of getting that sound.
Also something that hasn't really been brought up, what changes are there to your regular services? do they happen more frequent? do certain things wear out quicker? etc.

The only specific requirements by Sprintex are to replace the drive belts after 50000kms and abide by manufacturers servicing. The supercharger itself doesn't require ongoing maintenance, however obviously with any boosted engine, additional power wears engine and drivetrain parts quicker. I think Sprintex estimated that engine life will be reduced by up to 20% when I had mine installed last year.

I replace oil & filter every 7500kms as per the manufacturers service manual and just use a higher rated synthetic oil. Either Mobil 1 or the like.

lol lol lol

If only WA members were as nuts as you boys! Loving the vocal surging, hahahah, 'waaa bababababa'

Hey Mike,

Are you likely to stay with the standard intake/airbox or go pod/panel which may give you more up the rev range?

What was Sprintex/GD advice?

Hey Mike,

Are you likely to stay with the standard intake/airbox or go pod/panel which may give you more up the rev range?

What was Sprintex/GD advice?

I have K&N Panel with a CAI pipe going into the stock snorkel. I think that is just as effective as a pod.

I don't know what sprintex have to say on this issue but I think they prefer you to stick with the original air intake or something similar to my setup.

lol

who put supercharged under my username?

thanks

lol lol lol

The more i see things like this, the more im tempted to just do it
