this may sound differnt but i wish my supercharger whined louder a friend of mine has a pro-charger kit on a silverado ss and its loud as hell anybody know anything about this? is it possible? am i a retard? any input will help
KR = Knock Retard (detonation)
FWI = Fenderwell Intake, usually a intake that sits inside the fender area and pulls in cooler air than a CAI
CAI = Cold Air Intake, usually a open cone type system (as in just sucks in air from engine bay) usually cheaper but with not as good as a performance gain.
It is hard to port your own S/C unless you have previous knowledge and/or the right tools. I would highly recommend getting it ported by either INTENSE-racing.com, wbodystore.com, or zzperformance.com all do awesome work.
LOL, thats blunt, but if you just want the supercharger to whine louder for around 60 dollars make a cai and it should make it much louder. Before I did any mods and w/o an intake I couldn't barely hear the supercharger.
Well our superchargers will never have the same sound as a centrifigual (sp?) supercharger (your freinds pro charger kit). Centrifigual's are little compressors while our superchargers are roots type or "blowers". Unless you spin these blowers at high rpm's they will probably never sound anywhere like a centrifigual supercharger. And to spin our blowers at high rpms (the blower) it will take alot of aftermarket parts to have a good running setup (no KR, optimaul performance). I would aslo agree though if you want to make our superchargers louder to do the following
~less restrictive intake (CAI, or FWI) and the other things that Kyle suggested.
~take off the engine cover and hood insulation (will make it sound louder outside of the car thats about it)
Mine almost made an old lady fall off her bike once...... I was about a block back and floored it and I saw her kind of wiggle like she going to tip over, she had to put a foot down. Then she stopped and glared at me as I flew by.:icon_surp
see thats what im goin for i want it to be noticed when i pull up at a light next to some queer in a hoda civic with a crotch rocket exaust pipe i want him to think "maybe i shouldt do this that supercharger is pretty damn loud" and to see his face when a family sedan blows his doors off thats such a great feeling
how do i get a gen v? what is involved in upgrading to this? cai will hopefully get done this weekend
As far as the install goes, it doesnt take a whole lot if you buy the blower and LIM together. And if it comes with all the correct bolts and such, as the one in the link above would. :icon_lol:
i agree with John.... i would want it quiet, but for those who have theirs modded to hell, you wouldnt hear the ricer anyway. Just a glare in the rear view mirror.
