400SX is OK but any larger capacity and that blower will run out of puff at higher revs. Trouble is that the blower has a max rev too so you can't simply increase the ratio or you'll have to rev limit the engine.

On my 400SX at 5k rpm the boost drops to about 5 psi from 6.

However if you accept that limitation on a 4.6 you'll have bags of low-end torque, and a mediochre top-end boost.

Was sort of in jest really, I dont think the car (or is it me!) could handle any more power to be honest Adam, cheers anyway smile

Well I found the 400SX quite scary at first, but with bigger rear wheels and fresh rubber, it's well up to the extra power. It even keeps the power planted in the wet. In fact, I'm used to it now, and want more....

Well I am only speaking from driving it a couple times of course, I've never driven an "old" high powered car before this one. I'm sure I'll feel different in time smile

i am quite tempted by this is it as simple as just bolt on?
also wondering about the added strain on a 20 year old engine though it has only done 39k will the added bhp cause unseen probs?
are theese a rare bit of kit or could i pick a recon unit up elsewhere?
is it really capable of adding 60bhp?

Of course you could always use 2 in parallel.
