I am liking those dyno results. Very cheap HP compared to an engine swap.

Hey Doc, how often does one need to change the oil in the supercharger?

Procharger suggests the oil should be changed every 5-6k miles, which in my opinion even when running Mobil 1 is when you should be changing your engine oil as well (keep in mind they are 2 seperate systems). The oil change in the blower takes about 30 minutes. Simple as draining the old oil, and adding the new oil.

In December, JP-s-in st. louis was in the process of having one of these installed.

AWW shucks you remembered little old me? My 2000 S is still at Imagine Auto having the flux capacitor installed . After all is completed I will give my full report.

FYI: Imagine Auto (or as my fiance calls them my enablers) have been a treat to work with and have kept me in the loop during the extensive fabrication process.

Would it be any problem with the emission law (like in CA)? Any reports would be helpful. I would hate to flunk the emission test (during car inspection) and have to remove it after all those work.

The car will pass emissions testing, but it will not past CARB certification in California that we are aware of.

JP's 3.2 will hopefully be running by the end of the week (That is the plan anyway, though the tuning will not be done). Headers are back, brackets are back from the CNC, throttle plenum has been fabricated, so we are ready to bolt it together this week. Hopefully it will be moving around the shop under it's own power within a few days.
