Finally! I think we're almost done with the arrangements for our supercharger for the dealer car! I'll put up the rest of the details once it's finalized, but it's probably going to go down by the end of the month (maybe in the next 2 weeks or so!)

We'll probably have to take off the DUB spinners when we put it on there. Something a little more sporty.

Yeah...it's the Paisley Racing SEMA car from 2002.

The kit hasn't been released in the US yet. We're getting it for "promotional reasons"...all that stuff is way out of my pay grade. I'm a low man on the totem pole around here...all I know is we're getting a supercharger! Sweeet!

Which one? I know there were a few that they distributed for SEMA, and I'd only heard of 1 problem, but that was an install issue, and blitz didn't do the install.
That's why they're making us take the car to them for the install...because they want to make sure it's done right. It was one of the conditions of them giving the s/c to us, and I can't argue with that. I'm more than happy to let the people who build it put it in!

here's the update!!!!

Todd and I drove up to Blitz this morning, and damn was it awesome! I didn't take too many photots, but here's the image station album I made to scope it:

Anyway, from the outside Blitz doesn't look like anything amazing, just a big building in an industrial park. You can see my Camo xB parked to the right
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid101/p64382b3558b5d4fa90a881ecdf5fc1f6/f9d97cd3.jpg

Here's the victem: our dealer project car. It is going to have to lose the dub spinners, we'll probably put the Axis wheels back on.
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid101/pf2b6f0a054db79e942ccc185a247666a/f9d97cd7.jpg

After we'd been there a few, they pulled the SEMA xA out of the garage, and gave us the run down on it, and then let us take it for a spin around the neighborhood....DAMN!!!! That thing is fast! For all you xA guys, there's going to be some sweet Blitz stuff coming out, and the carbon fiber hood was AWESOME! Way cooler than any I've seen out so far!

The thing was doing awesome burnouts, even with the big 19's on it!

After we drove around the pimped out SEMA car for a bit, they took us into the garage so we could pick out gauges and stuff for the car. And low and behold, what did they have in the corner? Oh baby, I almost had to drop to my knees and beg for mercy:


Drum Roll Please

wow. My blood is still pumping. Unfortunately, they wouldn't let me drive THAT car! lol. It's track only, and they said it's all over 230MPH.


Anyway, sorry for all the pics, I put 8 of the 10 I took up, but I couldn't resist, I'm still excited about having a digital camera! We get the car back next friday! If you want to see the other pics (they're just of the interior of the sema car) you can check out this link:

Not sure how much whp it's going to be tuned for....they are installing a new kit in the car that they previously haven't done....it's really a cool set up.

I wish I could have sit in the r34. I didn't even bother asking....i did ask if I could drive it they said so solly cholly! LOL. Maybe next week :wink:

Can't really say. All I knows is that it was really, really fast....It's like a whole new car over stock.

The s/c they're putting on our car is a newer model over the one in that car, and is going to be upgraded, so I can't tell you how they're going to tune it or what gains it'll give. I'll tell you once I get the dynos...we're way pumped up about it!

Aight everyone, back with the car...it's AWESOME! I can't wait to get the old wheels back on because those spinners are too damn heavy. The car runs great, and the install is unbelievably clean.

Here's a pic of the engine compartment with the supercharger...
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid102/p38e014d4ad994737f5ebf5262db963ea/f9c4a8d9.jpg

On the right side is where we had the gauges mounted...I was kind of hoping we could do it on the A-Pillar, but it works out pretty good here.

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid102/p2d5a2f155c92072f5b6889902f4b63ef/f9c4a8dd.jpg

I've never seen this before....they put a selector switch in the dash that allows us to adjust the throttle response before the boost kicks in. Also, we can turn the s/c off all together, and run it N/A if we want. Really an awesome set up!

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid102/p0f1b63fb58aa7a41b0e9ea5383ee901c/f9c4a8da.jpg

Anyway, overall it runs awesome! We need to put 91 octane in the car now, but that's a small complaint to make. The dynos haven't been done yet, but we'll probably do it next week. I'll let you know how it goes!!!!

Drew

No, really. Yes, I would like to think we could entertain all possibilities...Why would anybody not want to get good economy as well as power. If you could have it both ways wouldn't you?

I think it would be even mo' better if we could do a hybrid alt fuel Scion engine that had insane hp, low-end torque and zero emmisions. Yeah........

You can have your power, that would do me proud to see a kick-___ smokin' xB tearing it up and if I can have what I want, too...cool!

I have nooooo idea what this is going to do to MPG. The set-up is really cool though, because if I keep the selector switch on off, it doesn't boost at all....it'll probably be pretty close to the stock mpg. Then there's low, med, and hi settings, depending on what % of throttle response I want the s/c to kick in, and i'm sure these will come into play too.

I'll try to keep track of it and let you guys know how quickly it sucks the gas up.

I wonder how long it does take to install? Do you need to have an intake on top of the SC to get the best performance or does the charger make it unnecessary? I was seriously looking at the Blitz intake, pretty nice installed...

DibujoB
01-31-2004, 07:42 PM
It takes about 5 hours to do if you know what you're doing (I sure as hell don't :D ). The intake helps....the blitz intake is nice...they have that setup in the grey xA, which by the way is on it's way to the East coast for the launch out there!

The car will definately be in El Toro, so you guys can check it out then.

ok, PRICE, i want to know msrp. maybe that info isn't released yet, but im dying to know. im interested in waiting for whatever TRD is gonna do b/c of warranty issues, but all of these options with the blitz s/c is pretty incredible. AND i've heard nothing but good things about the blitz stuff. that setup looks better then the PE supercharger too. ALSO, is there any reason that the gauges couldn't be mounted on the pillar? im guessing time/money constraints. but still very awesome, i really cant wait to get mine!!! need to start saving my pennies :) take care guys

I'm curious to see the price for it too.

For my own car, I'd go with TRD for warranty issues, but since I haven't even had enough money to put wheels and springs on my xB yet, I'm not one to talk.

Since this isnt' my car, I had no problem putting Blitz on it, and we're all very happy with the results. It's a lot of fun to drive, and Blitz makes a quality product.

The still wouldn't trade me the xB for the skyline though, but I guess I can understand.
