home made supercharged legacy wagon
today i dropped the vortech fmu for this guy that he bought from me on ebay, i didnt know what was under the hood of the legacy wagon parked in front of me, it has a cool little sticker that says: "you just got beat by a wagon :P " with the smiley and everything, i suspected..... after talking to him he showed me the setup wich is quite creative let me tell ya 
the ac clutch wich replaces the sc pulley kicks in when he's heavy on the throttle and instantly rams 10 psi off a roll, i saw it revving up and the whine is loud too
of course 100% HM as you can see, and no the engine still runs without management, apparently hes putting the fmu asap wich i dont know if its gonna help on this kinda uncommon setup, good luck with the project

Re: home made supercharged legacy wagon
damn. see. my friend had a set up like that 
it looked all cool. but no matter what he did. under any kind of high rev. the belt would fly off. he went through like 7 different types of pulleys. and it still flew off under high rev he tore apart atleast 3 different belts. before he gave up one day.
i brought up a thread bout a different super charger here.

its a pretty neat idea. and i think it would kick *** if someone could custom fab one. it drives off the alternator pulley. and looks like its nothing more than just a compresser off of a turbo. alot smaller than installing a whole supercharger. but it gets less psi. bleh.

Hey, Thats Mine!
Thanks for the FMU Saxxu.
Yeah, it aint no turbowhachamacallit.
Its an Eaton M62 off a Kompressor series Mercedes. I upgraded my crank pulley to 7.25" so it spins about 2-1 ratio for 9-10 psi. Upgraded injectors to 370cc. Upgraded 6 puck clutch. Currently I have a 1-1 rrfpr which I TRIED to replace with the unit from saxxu, but it was too much psi (12-1, what was I thinking
)
I went from a stock 100 whp (chp) to about 170-180 whp. I dyno tested on a mustang dyno at 152 whp but that was at 7 psi and 30 psi of fuel pressure and 3.5 spark plugs firing. I am dynoing again this weekend at Torquefreaks in Portland.
I went from a 16.8 average 1/4 et to 14.9. Best et so far is 14.7 at 93.
