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.

lol shid i should have thought to ask that tongue.gif I wonder what type of supercharger you got because if it is just a blower then it wont work... needs to be one like off of a 4agze... Check ebay for the FMU. Just type in vortech fmu and you should be able to get one for about $80 or less for another brand but make sure it is 10:1 or 12:1 air fuel mixtures. Before you do this you should really write down all the pros and cons...

Pros:
Faster acceleration
More available power
would be just plain cool
easier than turbocharging

Cons:
Uses some of the HP gained to drive the supercharger
Less efficient than a turbocharger
Less boost than a turbo charger
If you had to buy the supercharger it would cost more than turbocharging

Not sure if thats all but with the free supercharger and stuff it seems like the pros outweigh the cons.

All up to you and if you're complaining about a slow car then that means you aint happpy with it and who knows, the extra kick from a supercharger just might please you.
Make yourself happy man lol follow your heart (sounds so corny)
