Another supercharger for S197s

[ZmanM3]

Looks good, I'd like to read what someone that has gotten their hands on one and put it on has to say though.

techco is a 3L and looks much better then this. I do not like the way the intake is at all on this unit.

Looks good.

 

[Mustangfreak]

Ugh, I can't stand engine covers. I wanna see the motor, not plastic.

 

[SloSVO]

I just seen this in person.. the covers are cast aluminum.. and the throttle body is a single 85MM round.. the intercooler is 110CI..I assume thats the fluid capacity it holds.. the cooler sits atop of the blower and the runner length is 15 inches.. the runner are cross run.. I'll try to take picks tomorrow.. they have one on display and on that red 08 gt..

on a side note.. WTF.. the more $$$$ hotel you go to the more they nickel and dime you.. No Free WIFI..FTL..

No joke. Vegas sucks. No free WIFI. I can go to a hotel in Wyoming and get free WIFI

Those numbers at 5 psi are reasonable for a TVS screw set up. Also, this SC is modular, they are working on branching it out to other applications just like the Techco, so configuring it for a 2011 shouldnt be too hard. With the TB being different it probably makes it even easier to make this kit modular for other makes and models. Should be interesting!

an update from an interview at the sema show that is showing on the Edelbrock website said the s/c will retail for 5795. for the complete kit, guy said since it was designed and built in-house they could keep the price lower

Exactly. Almost looks like an LSx motor...

the 09 manifold?? i'm not sure this pic is the new truck motor or the new 09 mustang motor

 

[US-1]

That's the truck engine.

 

[Green08BulliTT]

dumb question but where is the IC on this guy? if its before the tvs blades wtf good is that.

I'm just guessing, but it looks to be a top discharge rotor setup, so the IC must be on top, between the runners and rotors.

 

[SloSVO]

In the picture of the throttle body.. that cover that says edelbrock and that black barbed nipple is where the IC is..like don said its top discharge.

 

[GrtWht]

Thanks for the cools pics!! It will be interesting to see / read more on this.

That TB looks like it would be the biggest PIA if you wanted to make real power with it. Since the PD blowers pull vac thru the TB, it will be the main restriction unless they offer a larger intake unit and TB that will work with it. I assume since its a TVS that it can support higher boost levels with out the heaton effect

OT:
Oh and to get things free in Vegas you gotta play to get the comps. I actually have 2 hotel suites this week in vegas. One at Planet Hollywood and one at Stratosphere all comped and ontop of that Stratosphere is giving me a $200 visa card and $100 dining credit. Once you get high roller status with a casino they do what ever you want and comp just about anything. Hell they even will pick you up at the airport in a limo (but I like having a rental car so I don't bother with that unless its just a day trip)

If you think vegas is bad, try NYC or outside the USA. I have had places charge $40+ a day for WIFI and $50 daily resort fees.

The places that will give you the most heartburn is Bora Bora / maldives. Where you are pretty much limited to what resturants they have. So you pay $60 a person for breakfast, and lots more for lunch and dinner. So after spending $$$$ a night for your room your other charges can actually be more then the room.

I am in the market for a SC and am definitely considering this one. Although it is almost the same price a FRPP IC unit, I really like the RWHP "bolt-on" numbers... like 400RWHP at only 5 psi with nothing else added and that is through the stock air cleaner.

A tuner from another forum is working closely with the Edelbrock designer and is already has a CAI, tune, fuel pump (using the GT500 dual set-up)upgrade in the works that will get you about 450RWHP at only ~7psi.

For those of us who want to keep things fairly stock, this one is a good option to add some serious HP. I do wish it was priced a bit lower, but am seriously considering dropping a deposit next week so I can myself a very nice present under the tree

 

[doogie]

I took the plunge and dropped my deposit earlier this week. If everything goes as planned, should have it my hands before Christmas. The I will capitalize on the extra help as my brothers will be here for the holidays, so we can get 'er installed and have what I would consider, a quite awesome Christmas present to myself!! I will post pics, feedback, etc once it gets installed. The only caveot is the timing as the ground is covered in that white stuff here and it might get the car out unless the roads are in good shape.
