Magnacharger supercharger and air intake

[CONRAD II]

YOU WILL LOVE IT!!! I dont really remember if my charger came with a filter or not????

No filter as it uses the stock box and filter... You could go with an aftermarket box/filter combo that mounts in the stock position and uses the stock MAF mounting position...I bought a Volant box and filter specifically for this reason. From what I can tell it will work with the supercharger when I go that route.

Again, thanks for the advice..I'll let you know how I make out..In checking the pic of the kit, it appears that it comes with a new coupler since the throttle body is offset to the side. I appears that it is made to fit into the oem air intake filter box.

Definitely comes with a new tube but the airbox/MAF remain in the stock location.

Just installed the magnacharger myself along with a few buddies to help me out. Worked on it all night this past Friday night. You're absolutely gonna LOVE this thing. Same night, I installed the Volant airbox. The night before, I went to a shop to have a magnaflow muffler installed. The magnaflow is hardly noticeable when driving down the interstate at a normal pace, but boy when you hit the pedal, that thing opens up and sounds incredible!! Then the magnacharger starts to whine at around 3k RPM +. It's incredibly exhilirating!!!!! GM should offer a supercharger as an upgrade option for warranty purposes, cuz if you install this thing, you can go ahead and say goodbye to your warranty, that is, if you have any left to begin with, like me. I have a couple condenser mics and running Cubase 4 on my laptop. I plan on getting a high quality audio recording of both exhaust combined with under-the-hood sound, like the supercharger winding up. I should have this audio clip available soon. I can give you guys a link later on if you're interested. I may even post a video of my SUT going 0-60mph both before and after the magnacharger upgrade.

Happy Trails

Ok here is the video. The first part shows a 0-60mph test (approx. 14secs) without the magnacharger. The following part will take a look under the hood right after the install. The final part will be a 0-60mph test (approx. 8secs with factory set 6psi boost) with the magnacharger.

I don't know why they still use this one because I made before I sent it back to them to have it retuned.

Paul Sr on American Chopper has a SC. You could hear that baby last night when he gagged it a couple of times.

Nice, always liked that vid, other than the crappy quality. It shows what the s/c should really do. I'm having my tranny looked at as we speak to determine the best upgrade for better shifting. Also considering an 8psi pulley for the s/c. Of course, if I'm only gaining less than 1 sec, and putting a tremendous amount of extra strain on the motor/trans, is it really worth it? But yes, I still like the video. Wish mine would 0-60 in 6secs. Not sure it's worth the extra risk though.
