FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q:  Do you make a kit for my engine size?

A:  We do not make kits for any specific motor size.  We offer 3 different blowers for all engine sizes.

Q:  How easy is the blower to install on my engine?

A:  With our blower, you can set up a simple bracket to mount the blower and use your existing, stock belt system set up.  There is no need for a jack shaft or double pulley set up.  Most machinists, fabrication and/or speed shops should be able to create your bracket.

Q:  Do I need to modify my fuel system or ECU to handle the supercharger set up?

A:  There are two solutions for the fuel system set up:

          1) Have your ECU flashed or reprogrammed and/or add a new chip.

          2) Add an FMU - It is a simple mechanical fuel modulation unit that solves the fuel starvation issues.

Q:  What type of blower do you offer and how much boost can I expect?

A:  Our blowers are 100% Billit and C&C Machined, centrifugal blowers.  Our Stage I blowers operate at 25,000 rpm which equals 6 lbs. of boost.  Our Stage II blower operates at 16,000 rpm for 6 lbs. of boost.

          Stage I Blower = 1-4L engines

          Stage II Blower = 5L engines and up

Q:  Does the blower have a lubrication system for the bearings?

A:  No.  We use internal sealed C-3 rated bearings that max out at 30,000 rpm peak, therefore, our blowers are easily within the limits to have extended bearing life (16-25,000 rpm).  This is substantially longer than any other supercharger or turbocharger on the market due to our lower impeller speeds.

Q:  How much horsepower can I expect from supercharging my engine?

A:  Most stock motors can expect to gain 40% more hp and torque at 6psi of boost.  At 6psi, the supercharger will not put added strain on the motor.

Q:  How long will it take me to receive my supercharger and what form of payment do you take?

A:  It takes 15-18 business days to prepare your supercharger to ship.  Shipping is done via USPS which is included in the cost if shipped within the continental United States.  A 10% military discount is available.  Payment is accepted through Paypal.

Q:  Can I get more boost or psi from your supercharger?

A:  Yes.  A simple replacement pulley can be purchased through RJS Superchargers.  We typically only upgrade pulleys for built motors or racing applications as excessive boost can damage stock motors.

Q:  How noisy is the blower?

A:  It has a belt whistle or whine, otherwise it is fairly quiet.
