Hey guys i have a 97 v8 5.2l and i want to run a super charger in it (novi 2000 and a paxton kit) what parts would i need to be able to run this safley at 14 psi? and where can i find these parts and how much we talkin?

thanks

 

get ready to spend a little money! you will most likely need a head rebuild and possibly some new connecting rods, not to mention new seals on everything. if i were you, i would just run it at around 8 psi and keep your motor stock.

just my $.02

 

well im goin all out on this one i mean im willing to sprnd the money but so youre saying just heads and seals?

 

you should also contact the manufacture of the supercharger and ask what their suggestion is on what compression you should be running. i'm only speaking from experience with turbos, to run that much boost you are going to need to lower you compression ratio. I would take the advice of running about 8 psi of boost though, 14 is just insane. be prepared to replace your rear-end and driveshaft

 

yea ill do that good idea thanks but do you know where i can buy like seals and heads for engine?

 

New forged pistons, connecting rods, nitride coated valves to handle the added heat, probally a bigger radiator to handle the extra heat. Probally bigger head, main, and rod studs, MLS headgasket. Basically a complete rebuild, not to mention a new camshaft, some sort of fuel and timing management. This is not something you can just slap on and go with. And don't call me a noob, I own a 90 Eclipse Turbo, and I know what it takes to make added power with forced induction.
If you were to actually do this, I'd probally go with a centrifugal type supercharger, and a charge cooler (intercooler).

 

well i guess from what im getting here ill proably get a super charger now and run it at like 7 for now and in the next few months ima go ahead and install everything else cause i was planning on buys those parts either way

 

Go to KRCPERFORMANCE.com and check the out.. You will need a new intake, ported heads, and some good pistons {forged flat tops} dome will run to much compression for that much psi. Well good luck

 

yea thats a pretty cool site thanks man
