Have only $2000 to spend on supercharger
 

Only have $2000 bucks to spend on a supercharger. I want a passenger side mount one. I know I will only get a small one with about 6 lbs of boost. I need some suggestions because unfortunatly you get what you pay for. Need some advice. I can't wait to get back home and fire up the stang. It has been too long!!!!!!!

RE: Have only $2000 to spend on supercharger
 

I'm pretty sure you can get a paxton 1000 kit or vortec kit for under 2k. I'm not sure which one is better to get though.

RE: Have only $2000 to spend on supercharger
 

get another $600 and buy a vortec

RE: Have only $2000 to spend on supercharger
 

Try ebay.

RE: Have only $2000 to spend on supercharger
 

6 lbs is a waste you should save a few hundred more and get a vortech with 8-12lbs boost....jmo do as you wish

RE: Have only $2000 to spend on supercharger
 

or go with a used one. You can find a used Paxton, ATI, or Vortech for that price. Out of curiousity, why passenger side only?

RE: Have only $2000 to spend on supercharger
 

i would take tat 2000 and get a nitrous kit and a good suspension setup.... cheaper and more torque... which is always more fun lol... jmo... i would save if u dont wan nitrous... a s/c cost more than 2k... 6lb isnt worth it.... unless u find a great used s/c deal

RE: Have only $2000 to spend on supercharger
 

Either go used, or if you want new, id go Novi 1000. Iv heard only good things about it.

RE: Have only $2000 to spend on supercharger
 

6 psi gave me 90 hp........not bad.....go on superchargersonline.com and you can get a vortech for 1880....

RE: Have only $2000 to spend on supercharger
 

Nitrous over a supercharger? Not so sure I'd recommend that. The S/C is always gonna be there. You don't have to worry about empty bottles, filling bottles, etc. And S/C's aren't all that expensive, especially used. Many online places sell a complete bolt-on P-1SC kit for just over $2,500 and that includes everything you need (battery relocation kit, FMU, etc.) Same thing for a Vortech and a Novi 2000. Of course a Novi 1000 is even cheaper. Just last week I saw quite a few S/C's going for under $2k used on forums.

RE: Have only $2000 to spend on supercharger
 

I saw a used vortech going for 800 something on ebay, looked like it wasnt even used.

RE: Have only $2000 to spend on supercharger
 

Hears the link, its going for $900 now and ending in about 2 days.

vortech

RE: Have only $2000 to spend on supercharger
 

Novi 1000 + 8" crank pulley = ~10psi

$2000 all brand new

RE: Have only $2000 to spend on supercharger
 

Used or new? Link?

RE: Have only $2000 to spend on supercharger
 

seems like it would less hassle, spent good money on intake

RE: Have only $2000 to spend on supercharger
 

I totally agree with full auto... go with a Novi 1000 w/ a crank pulley and a power pipe and lay out serious numbers for around $2200 dollars..... BRAND NEW.

RE: Have only $2000 to spend on supercharger
 

Those are for new units. Here are a couple links to check out:
Link 1
Link 2
Link 3

Of course, those are just three of many sites out there that sell them. With a majority of the sites, they require you to email or call for prices. The kit I purchased was the 1FA012-SC for the 1995 Mustang GT. The 94 / 95 models tend to be a pain in the ass, and some bolt ons like this cost a little more than they would for a 93 or older 5.0. But either way, you can still get that kit for that price.

RE: Have only $2000 to spend on supercharger
 

Powerdyne is only like 1700 bucks for the kit, 6 lbs., a guy around here is very happy with his.

RE: Have only $2000 to spend on supercharger
 

I hear so many bad things about powderdyne though.... many many many bad things. Some people get lucky and have no regrets but than you have that whole sh*tload of people who hate them and basically was a waste of $1700 dollars. You can get an SC or a Novi 1000 for the same price... why take a chance?

RE: Have only $2000 to spend on supercharger
 

SSkiller has a really nice setup and he's running a Powerdyne with 6 PSI. But he's about the only person I know in here that has run them with no issues. A guy here in Maine has the same setup and he has been lucky with it...only lost a belt one. But other than that it has treated him well.

Not sure if those two storied are enough to overcome the many MANY horror storied I hear though. People just seem to have bad luck with them.

Get a Vortech SC-Trim and upgrade the pulley. Right under 2000 bucks, and you will be over 6-9 lbs at least.

Get it here its where I got mine. http://jdsperformance.com/index.asp?...tem&inmake=all

RE: Have only $2000 to spend on supercharger
 

I have the Powerdyne......it gave me 90 horsepower on 6 psi of boost. Powerdyne's are very quiet and they come with a 3 year warrnanty. I like the thing. However if I could go back again I would get the Novi 1000. But I like my Powerdyne.

RE: Have only $2000 to spend on supercharger
 

Some people get lucky and some people dont... but the thing I dont understand is why people even buy them if they heard about the horror stories. You can buy a similar blower setup for maybe a hundred bucks more... if your buying a blower a hundred extra dollars is not going to kill you so why take the chance? I am not saying that their not goog units because there are many people who run them with no problems but on the other hand I have prob heard more bad things than good about them....

So my question is... why take the chance?

RE: Have only $2000 to spend on supercharger
 

How would the vortech SC trim and the Novi 1000 compare. They seem to be about the same price.

RE: Have only $2000 to spend on supercharger
 

They are pretty much the same blower. Both are great and very realiable from what I have heard. I have really never heard horror stories about either of them. They are both 5-6 psi entry level superchargers that run about the same. I believe the Novi is like 100 cheaper or something like that. Theres one thing though, Im not exactally sure what it is but I know that with a SC trim you cannot change the crank pulley without voiding the warranty and with a Novi you can.... so Im going Novi 1000. You can pull 14 psi out of either one of them with a powerpipe, blower pulley and crank pulley.

RE: Have only $2000 to spend on supercharger
 

14psi is not to shabby for a entry level blower. pretty impressive in my opinion. the paxton does seem to be the way to go.

RE: Have only $2000 to spend on supercharger
 

No not too shabby at all! For anything on the street its more than enough... especially on a 5.0.

The Paxton and Vortech are basically the same kit but for some reason if you put a crank pulley on a Vortech it voids the warranty... something about it being 6 ribbed and aftermarket crank pulleys being 8 ribbed.... I think [&:]

RE: Have only $2000 to spend on supercharger
 

Similair blowers. I would go with Vortech because of the warranty, bigger after market IE: after cooler, Pulleys, pipes, valves ect.

The SC trim is the same as the S trim just in a 6 rib design. Would could even send it back to vortech and have them rebuild it into A S trim for 300 bucks and would still be under warranty.

RE: Have only $2000 to spend on supercharger
 

Is the Vortech warranty better than the Paxton warranty? When you sent the blower into to be rebuilt does it establish a new warranty? Where is a good place to look at the aftermarket for the vortech blower? Can you pick whatever blower pulley you want when you send it in to be changed to the S trim?

RE: Have only $2000 to spend on supercharger
 

paxton novi 1000

RE: Have only $2000 to spend on supercharger
 

Black Snake, what all did you do to get 11psi out of your supercharger? Just crank pulley and power pipe?

RE: Have only $2000 to spend on supercharger
 

No 3.00 upper pulley and 8 inch crank along with powerpipe and bypas tube.

I think its making a lil more past 11lbs but I get a lil scared.

RE: Have only $2000 to spend on supercharger
 

I got my Vortech s-trim off ebay for 1600 bucks. Comes with three pullies for 6,9 and 11 lbs of boost. It came with every nut, bolt, belt and bracket as well as the FMU. He also included the bypass and smog delete.

You gotta make sure you have sufficient funds though for supporting mods, i spent 2100 on a used kit, but now i'm over 4000 deep because of supporting mods, TB, MAF Sensor, Injectors, Tune, etc. and and now my car needs a new clutch because it can't holdthe power and a new trans (but it already needed a trans. Supporting mods will kill ya, i'm tellin a from personal experience haha.
