ZL1 supercharger legit or not?
So I've been dying to supercharge my car but have been held back by the immensely high cost. I was looking though ebay and found this one... http://m.ebay.com/itm/261354008759?nav=SEARCH&sbk=1
for under 3 grand. Since I'm on a budget this is very enticing. Is anyone familiar or heard of this company/supercharger, who would be able to give some advice? Thanks guys in advance. I am aware that this supercharger may not give massive gains like the pricier ones but if it gave 120wrhp I would be happy. If this is a legit kit what else would be needed for complete installation? |

Well when buying the supercharger, hopefully you have other goods to make it work. Otherwise seems fair on price from a car.

That price is for the blower only, you still need to aquire all the extra goodies to run a supercharger on your motor, injectors, fule pump ect ect.
Those will bring the price up considerably, depending on your plans this may or may not be the best buy for you with so many others manufactuers in the market.

Would your recommendation be then to hold out for a used complete setup?

Matt at FSP will sell you a complete ECS kit with a used head unit and injectors and such. I'm sure it depends on what he has at the time and what upcoming customers are trading in, but he sold me a used blower with a new kit.

It's funny it's listed as compatible with all Camaro engines.

OP: I fell your budget constraints. Bottom lin when it comes to FI on these cars. 7 grand for a kit. You want a kit that way you get EVERYTHING you need other than JUST the blower. Fuel pump, injectors ect. I have been looking my self. Its big bucks man....but you want to do it RIGHT....not half assed and detonate your motor.
