SuperCharged 5S-FE, Does anyone have this? Options

[Bigmeanbulldog55]

Any one have a supercharged 5S-FE? I'm just wondering, because a buddy of mine and I were talking about doing this to my car. All I have to do is get an aftercooler and then we're set. I'd like to know if any one has this set up so that they might be able to tell me about any problems I might incounter. Thanks ya'll.

Well electrics arent going to be a problem. I am not sure how much boost you are looking to add but search up vortech fmu and you will learn alot about it. It is a fuel management unit that raises fuel pressure to the injector rail as boost goes up causing the injectors to spray more fuel for the right fuel to air ratio. A vortech 12:1 or 10:1 unit is good. I am not sure if you will need a boost guage other than to tell what boost your running but it is advisable to upgrade injectors and fuel pump just to be on the safe side and to ensure that they are capable of delivering the fuel needed with the amount of boost. You will need some check valves to stop boost from going into the MAP sensor i think so that it doesnt read some error and shut the engine down or something like that but a guy like nik can tell you alot more about that. Otherwise I dont think any electrics is involved. It can all be done manually from what i have read with turbocharging those engines but supercharging should be no different. It wont be a hard project once you got all the parts and you should seriously consider it.
