cheers.
so its an SC14 then. still from what i have heard, they just dont supply adequate enough boost for the 4L block. put it this way. so far haha (irresponsible i know) i have beaten a WRX, a R33 GT-S destroyed stock falcons and commies and a BA XR6 and A FG XR6 A VY SS UTE off the line and on the run. and today it pulled away from a 5.7hemi 300c haha. so i dont know either the rumours about the charger are wrong. or i have something very different going on here. and yeah pretty much everyday of going out for a drive some idiot trys to race me. (its loud and lumpy and mixed with the old weee sound) attracts just about every hero racer

well in 2005 the entire kit was $3500. have the receipts etc.
so who knows what its worth now. need to take it down to a dyno and hopefully get some advice on wether its worth upgrading the pulley system, or ditching the charger in general. its nice to have something where all the ground work is already done. can anyone recommend a good tuner North of the river in perth?? |

yeah i was thinking BPT.
they have there shop over in malaga or something dont they, saw it once while i was out doing deliveries. Latest update. driving home last night through warwick, lost power steering, water pump, alternator. every warning light in the world beeping me in the face. put it this way, its not easy to try turn a 1600kg car with no power steering. anyway, made it home. just. coolant overflow tank went ballistic. lost a bit of coolant. turns out the serpentine belt fell off the water pump. that was alot of fun putting that back on this morning. imagine your serpentine belt, only bigger, tighter and more confusing. note: 3/8 ratchet drive on the belt tensioner, plus a long pole for some leveridge. and its actually a pretty easy job. didnt even need to fix the tensioner in place. just held the pole with one hand and re routed the belt back around, which was (&*^#&$^@&%^%#^@#% fun |

I hope it didnt overheat, Id do a coolant and oil change, then keep an eye on it looking for signs of a head gaskit failure.

yes, ofcourse its running a P/S unit. its just went i lost the serpentine belt i lost powersteering.
all is well now though. im looking into some pulleys for the charger. its currently on this pulley http://cgi.ebay.com.au/103mm-Clutched-S ... 3a50b9f8ac but im looking to upgrade to this over the next week. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/82mm-SC14-toyota ... 3a50b9eab3 or perhaps just an 8psi pulley. can anyone think of a cheaper option to buying one of these? a good powersteering pump pulley or aircon pulley that is 82mm?? |

hey mate nice car come check out pertheseries.com and bring it on a cruise some time.
I think you should get rid of the sc14 and go the new snort supercharger setup. |

Does anyone know how much power this car was making with the SC14 charger strapped on?
And does anyone know any info about who built the brackets etc to suit the EL? |

Never saw dyno charts. But to be honest from the amount of cars I have had since then. I would estimate very generously 270wrhp.
It had different internals to a regular Toyota sc14 super charger. Sc 14 is 1.4L of air bla bla if I can remember. And this thing was a little bigger, a regular sc14 doesn't really have enough puff to make a difference on an 4L. The kit was made by chipmaster and was sold as a complete kit with brackets etc, talking 10 years ago now when these cars where well. Still newish. Before raptor etc anyways. Motor popper after 5000k's (stock Tickford block) and was rebuilt with low comp forged internals and a beefed up head. As fast as a normal XR off the line but pulled hard above 60. Could beat a New VY SS at the time off the line and on the run (talking 3 car lengths) Hope this info helped. To be honest. Don't even bother supercharging your falcon. Xr6t's are so cheap now. You will end up spending more money and still only make similar power to a stockish xr6t |

cheers thanks for the info mate. I am not chasing huge power figures. I have 5 other cars that I am pouring my cash into. This is just something I plan to do on the daily drive (manily because I can turn it on and off and save abit of fuel)
Thanks |

Yeah the stock Toyota sc14's did have electronically controlled clutch packs in some of them. Cool idea. And don't bog out at the lights.
Reason I didn't like the idea is the car is running larger injectors, fuel pump, regulator etc and tune to compensate for the forced induction, that turning it to a N/a just makes the car run rich and results in poorer fuel economy anyway. You'd still have a few dramas that would make it an annoying daily. One big one for me was belt slip. Took a while to rectify. But I i got damn good at swapping out torn up serpentine belts on the side of the freeway. Was like a 9pk2400 belt or something ridiculous aswell haha. Could never find replacements. get a manual xr6/8...both my xr6's were way more fun to drive just being manual then the EL ever was, BTR auto also didn't like the Extra power. Upto you really. I'd go a nice clean xr6 manual as a daily drive rather then a old i6 with an even older SC strapped on the side. Be more trouble then it's worth now. |
