Ebay

[R1Mark]

Looking through some of the listings on Ebay I came across the following

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MAGNUSON-SUPERC

and

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/650BHP-VAUXHALL

I have to say I'm very interested in both

Any comments from the anybody with experience of the kits listed above?

Cheers

Rapid GB has some great prices and some good bits of kit. I also have looked at the GenTT kits recently but after hearing the demise of WRC Technologies and the problems associated with TT installs I would allow a large wad of cash for 'adjustments' after the initial buying process.

I would dearly love a TT conversion and the price makes is very very tempting but one has to ask oneself what is reasonably expected to get the system in and running properly without problems. The superchargers have been tried and tested to death over here and work.

The TT is a whole new animal which is luring people in with its charm and charisma... until it all goes horribly wrong

Hi..Give us a buzz we have three kits 'Polished or Silver' at very good prices inc vat and fitted.WE are UK sole agents for Magnuson Products which includes the Monaro with a tune, we always do before and after dyno charts for each car that we fit a supercharger to so we prove our tune and it does the BHP that is expected (NOT just assuming it does XXXBHP)and always lock the remap to the clients own password so they can get it unlocked by any EFI Tuner in the UK and be in total control of their car and NOT to have to go back to the tuner who did the original remap, as I've heard on many occassions clients have had very serious problems in remapping their cars again if its not by the original tuner as they lock the tune ( So is the map sold to the client only on lease???) and when they do unlock it for them put back in a standard tune so the car does not run properly. Piece of advise for everyone remapping, be in control and make sure you or future owners of that car can unlock the remap.

Superchargers do seem the tried and tested way at the moment although Roger seems to have done fine with the single Turbo install.

Not sure the forum is here for tuner's to have a pop at each other though - down to customer decision and it always kind of looks bad when they do. Locked or unlocked depends on what the customer is after - me, I won't go near the map but others will. Choices, choices, choices....

Mark at Rapid GB fitted a Magnusson Supercharger to my 54 Monaro. It`s running at 7psi now, but Mark will hopefully be turning that up to 9psi this week. I still struggle to find the words to describe the power boost I have gotten from fitting this kit. Its tame when I want to do slow, and when I want to do fast...oh my goodness! The car makes a lovely whine when you put your foot down, and folks do look at what is making that noise. All in all, well worth the investment.

i perfer turbos to superchargers any day

the only problem with turbos is heat build up

but with a decent intercooler this is removed

and as long as the oil supply to the turbos is good then no problems should happen

The Gen TT kit does come with an intercooler standard, I'm pretty sure.
Don't be scared off turbos by the downfall of WRC, they had issues with their kits due to their inability to tune them effectively. The TT kit comes tuned to make an easy 600BHP, daily drivable with next to standard fuel economy (if not driven like your reg grundies are on fire). There seems to be alot of suspicion surrounding turbos here, as I've said on another thread; I ran TT's for 2 years in the QLD sun with 370rwkw, NO problems at all and I'm also building another one while I'm here.

Get behind the wheel of one of these beasts with their seamless power, you will be converted!!
