there you go..search is your friend

firesquare

hope you get the info you need.

their are two blowers avalable as i know of.

Blitz and Power Enterprises.

run a search on them both, then go whatever direction you go

But make sure you do the fiollowing.

RESEARCH.

you cant just throw on a blower and beat the sh out of it, it requires fine tuining of the air fuel ratio. and delivery at top end/high boost. then you gotta worry about cooling because compressed air creates friction/heat. so forth and so on.

I dont wanna scare you but research deep into this before you just slap on the blower and drive off.

Youll go through engines quickly that way

Screw Superchargers, they aren't worth the money.

Buying the SCis just the beginning anyway.

Sciond

Ok I'll bite why do you say that?

FrankenScion

Cause I have helped install one and I have seen it in action.

I have seen a SC'ed auto xB lose to a NA stick xB.

KevinxB

What a 5-spd xB with an SC then?

Sciond

I have seen different reults..check out matchbox's xb approx 50% more whp....I have seen it run being behind it..much faster than mine and it is reliable he has the power enterprises sc

firesquare

i rather have a supercharger than turbo anyday.

yeah the install may be a PITA but being reliable is important to me

Sciond

yep

Lets see here... About 130hp @ the crank (the ones with 141whp have more then just the S/C on there car) So you figure thats a gain of about 25hp over stock 06 numbers. So you paid $3,000 for 25 hp = $120/hp. Not to bad, but still not a real bang for the buck. My intake, even if it only gave me 2hp was then $42.5/hp. So there are cheaper things that can be done, to get a better cost to power gain. The only problem is, that the S/C & Turbos give the most power gains.

Sciond

yeah keep in you'll never really get those big increases in hp without boost...and the other periphial bolton as you go deeper into them economies of scale take over

FrankenScion

But Matchbox has done a whole lot more than just the SC.

Short_Bus

The supercharger may only add roughly 30hp, but it is the perfect base to build off of and get more power, matchbox it the perfect example!

Spider13

The day after Matchbox bolted on that SC we ran the 1/8 at a car show. It made a huge difference in other wise pretty equal cars( we even had basically the same exhausts). He could get almost a second faster in the 1/8 which is quite a bit considering the PE makes power relatively high in the RPM band. Both our reaction times were pretty bad, so were the 60s but as soon as that thing had a chance to spool it made a real difference. So take it for what its worth, IMHO the PE is a damn good platform for making an XB quite a bit faster.

Sciond

As I recall you said he turned off and you were still on the track......

Spider13

It wasn't quite that bad

hotbox05

blitz is like 123 whp. .. and any auto is AUTOmatically a slower car. lol i can hang with modded tc's in my modded 5spd.

hotbox05

and as far as screw type being wastes of money. talk to anyone with a glader or a whipple.........


the centrifugal one ( like power enterprises ) is better suited to higher rpm motors. but both work quite well on these motors. alot less problems than ANY turbo kit currently available.
