Default Re: To Turbo or to Supercharge, that is the question.

I am new to this forum, so hopefully everyone doesn't mind me jumping in. I am a new H3 owner, as I just purchased a 2007 today. I have to say in the 45 miles I have drove it so far, I am quite happy with it. I bought a manual trans, so I'm sure it is a little more "peppy" than an automatic, but I'm used to Mustangs so I'm definetly not happy. Yet!

Ok, so to the point. My company, www.w2wpowertrain.com, has several supercharger kits they are releasing. One happens to be the I5 kit. You can check out the kit on our website. We have been developing the kit for quite some time now, so we are quite happy with it. I just bought the '07 so that we could update our cal for the new 3.7L engine. We also needed a manual so we would have both calibrations. Our kits are different from other companies, like procharger for example. Since we have a full engineering team that is loaded with OEM experiance, we strive to develop our kits so they are of the highest quality.

I'm planning to start installing the kit on my truck this week. I can post pictures and answer any questions if you all want. Again, being new here I don't want to intrude. I also don't want to sound like I'm a commercial. I just want to pass along any info that might help anyone.

Thanks.

I have to say that isn't a bad way to introduce yourself, just don't get a bad attitude when you start getting serious questions, like others have, and you'll be fine.
I am sure there are a ton of h3'ers that want a magic fix for the power issue (me included). Make it happen and you'll get a lot of customers, but you're gonna have to prove it.

Welcome

Oh, be sure to PM Jason for vendor info, he will respond fairly quickly, as he always has to my PM's.

Ok, thanks. I just don't want people to think I am only here pushing our product. We work with many other companies and test product all the time. I bought this truck personally, and hope to work on customizing it so I plan to ask others questions on what they have done.

I would also like to extend to anyone that would be in the Detroit area to come and test drive one of our vehicles with our Rotrex supercharger kits on them. I'm sure the boss wouldn't mind. LOL.

I'll post pictures as the week goes on, and get some dyno numbers up when I get them.

Honestly I think some of us might consider it, but we just dont have the need or the balls to do it on our own rig without significant data to back up reliability. My main concern would be the front diff. Maybe if we were able to upgrade to an alpha diff and then add boost, but than again dropping $10K in the rig...we might as well just wait for the V8. I welcome the the info, and thanks for doing the work for us! Welcome to the board!

F5. Do we have forged internals or no? Just pistons?

For now we'll consider it R&D
