View Full Version : Blitz supercharger...available? Yes/no?
KingLou 11-04-2003, 09:18 AM So it appears that its said for some time now on the Blitz website that they have a supercharger for the xB. Does anyone have any info on whether this is actually available yet.......or is it still in the works?
How about pricing information? Anyone have any clues or inside tips?

Scionic 11-04-2003, 04:05 PM They are available according to my buddy Mark over at SP Engineering work.
If you want more info then you can contact him at
(626)333-5398
Just tell him Mark from Longo referred you. He's hella cool.
BTW SP does some high end stuff so don't worry about them being scheisty or anything
onesicbowtie 11-04-2003, 05:38 PM i guess the supercharger is out for the scion XB im going to call and see what is up

KingLou 11-04-2003, 06:13 PM If anyone has info on a price......I'd love to hear it.
Thanks guys.

arinvolvo 11-04-2003, 06:20 PM Adam, call that phone number and see what is up....
I am at school right now...If I werent, I would call...
KingLou 11-04-2003, 06:27 PM But it's long distance..............*bawl* :cry:
KiL
KingLou 11-04-2003, 06:33 PM Ok......called SP.......didn't get a hold of Mark........but the phone jockey said MSRP is about $3500. So who knows what that means in terms of what we'll actually pay. He also said he doesn't believe it will be available for purchase until after SEMA. :?:
KiL
arinvolvo 11-04-2003, 06:33 PM So what, the rate at the house is very cheap, like 6 cents a minute or something.
I call long distance there all the time.
by the way, if you get a white one, I will run you over.
usdmbB 11-04-2003, 06:34 PM hey guys just called they are taking preorders kit will be ava after sema
list 3500
arinvolvo 11-04-2003, 06:35 PM beautiful...gotta sell my volvo to finance this purchase.
I wonder what the specs on the kit are.
KingLou 11-04-2003, 06:36 PM Too late..........papa already told our little Cambodian sex queen to order a white one.
I spent a long time looking at pictures of the thudercloud.......and couldn't make myself like it. But don't worry about ours looking the same.......because when I get mine......I'm totally gonna fire-bomb yours.
KiL
arinvolvo 11-04-2003, 06:42 PM i hate you.
seriously.
that is so wrong..
I would never get a margarine colored volvo. Not only because it is ugly, but out of respect for you, and your butter mobile.
KingLou 11-04-2003, 06:52 PM Don't worry.......I predict you're going to get T-boned by the Union Pacific...........and it'll be all good.
KiL
usdmbB 11-04-2003, 06:58 PM hey u vegas guys i was there in oct 4 and 5th didnt see u any where
man the strip was so fun my kids where play games in the car as we cruzed

mrbadass03 11-04-2003, 07:26 PM Don't worry.......I predict you're going to get T-boned by the Union Pacific...........and it'll be all good.

LOL! thats mean and funny @ the same time.

showpaojoe 11-04-2003, 07:53 PM You can get that kit right now from rotary xecret in city of industry for $2800 but the instructions will be in japanese. The reason the kits will be after SEMA is because nobody is at blitz right now and they can't translate it yet so if you can translate it now, you'll be the first with the kit.
arinvolvo 11-04-2003, 09:07 PM I read on the ScionLife newsletter that there was a Blitx supercharger kit in the works with an adjustable boost control...Pushing 13-14 psi...
That sounds a little crazy, but do you think this is the same system?
showpaojoe 11-04-2003, 09:16 PM I think it's 6-8psi safely cuz it comes with intercooler and tuned ecu. 13-14psi would be crazy tho, I need that to haul my subs.
Blu_Box 11-04-2003, 09:19 PM If some of you are serious, lets get a group buy together.
I know we all want to hear the specs and whatever, but seriously....
How many of us will actually be purchasing the kit?
Just trying to keep it real.
Blu
arinvolvo 11-04-2003, 09:20 PM im in for real...I will have a supercharger, oh yes...I will be in like flyn on the group buy.
JDMxB 11-04-2003, 09:35 PM You can get that kit right now from rotary xecret in city of industry for $2800 but the instructions will be in japanese. The reason the kits will be after SEMA is because nobody is at blitz right now and they can't translate it yet so if you can translate it now, you'll be the first with the kit.
So they actually have them in stock and on location???
I might have my japanese speaking friend help me out...
showpaojoe 11-04-2003, 09:42 PM They have one less now...sukaz. Actually they have a couple and the guy told me $2800 but that would suck if the price goes up for the english translation...haha, after SEMA it's like $3200, now for usdm xB's. j/k
arinvolvo 11-04-2003, 09:46 PM Did you really buy one? Did you get any of the specs on it?
projxB 11-04-2003, 09:50 PM Holy ____, they're available now. Gimme! i want one..
showpaojoe 11-04-2003, 09:52 PM Sorry but I actually just bought the celica blitz kit yesterday. I have the engine sitting lonesome in a garage and in a couple months I dream of somehow sticking it in the xB when I get some real cash. One day but for now, no, sorry but I'm crying at that bad line also. But if that group buy does happen, I'll get it also. Sorry fellas, I'll dress to impress real soon tho, I'm gunna go spank myself for that outburst tho
onesicbowtie 11-05-2003, 01:25 AM i want to get a blitz kit but the $3,500 is on the high side but i guess a can dig the $2,800 but it better make me kick i want to to kick some ___ with the box
geez that would make it like four polar whites at least in lv
KingLou 11-05-2003, 10:05 AM So does anyone have any real idea what a system like this does to the vehicle warranty? Or is it all just speculation at this point?
KiL
KingLou 11-05-2003, 10:16 AM As far as boost goes.......I'm just not imagining anything safe beyond 7 psi. 14 psi? Good lord......you'll throw a rod through your engine block, through the firewall, into the back seat, and harpoon your unsuspecting child through the head.
Course.......that's just my assumption that these little engines probably don't have rods that can handle that kind of boost.
Could the Scion fuel system even keep up with 14 psi?
You also better hope your $hit is staying cool.....so the intercooler needs to be good and well placed. Probably also want an air/fuel ratio meter just to keep your eye on things. End up getting some good detonation.......and you're engine's a paper weight.

scionspecialistvegas 11-05-2003, 11:57 AM I talked to the trd guys at SEMA today, Just about anything you do that is not installed by a toyota dealership void that part of the warranty. Which I find Ironic that the so called qualified tech from toyota can do the job and F*!K it up and toyota will warranty it, but a qualified shop can do the job and if some fails because nothing the shop did it voids the warranty. Ten years later the battle between after market and oem rages on.
Scionic 11-05-2003, 05:00 PM Yeah the MSRP is 3500 but I bet they can do better at SP....just make sure you ask for Mark Chin... don't talk to anyone else. If you don't want to dial the long distance then his email is mark@sp-power.com
showpaojoe 11-05-2003, 10:01 PM Damn, forgot my bud went to SEMA, didn't answer. I'll ask again about the group buy when he gets back. Probably on friday so we'll see.
JDMxB 11-06-2003, 12:09 AM Yeah the MSRP is 3500 but I bet they can do better at SP....just make sure you ask for Mark Chin... don't talk to anyone else. If you don't want to dial the long distance then his email is mark@sp-power.com
Since he is your boy and all mark--do you think the guys at SP can beat the 2800 at that other place in socal.
Now I don't know anyone personally at SP--but from what I discern...they are good to your IF you come loaded in the walletbook. Who knows though--they may be able to beat that aforementioned place.
Scionic 11-06-2003, 01:54 AM Don't know the exact details because I'm not interested in the Supercharger for my xB. Just contact Mark and see what he can do. I'm just trying to help members find what they are looking for.
Scionic 11-07-2003, 11:34 PM Great news....just got the pricing and it's pretty damn good. Trust me he'll make it worth your while. All he asks is that he get 10+ people. Can't quote you the price but if you are really interested message me.
Let's just say it's way below the MSRP of $3500. Just have to convince 9 other people to be interested.
projxB 11-07-2003, 11:43 PM i want one. count me in. and how much is WAY lower than MSRP.
SP_MARK 11-08-2003, 12:25 AM SP ENGINEERING will beat $2800 if i can get 10 or more people....way less then $2800......feel free to think about it!
thanks,
Mark @ SP ENGINEERING

Hardhitten 11-08-2003, 12:27 AM how much does install run?
SP_MARK 11-08-2003, 12:44 AM we're not sure yet...but, anywhere from 15-20 hours labor....and we charge $100 an hour for labor! please remember...this is just an estimate!
please...if you want to start group buy...make a list for me please or just email me!
Blu_Box 11-08-2003, 12:54 AM It would be great to hear the specs on it.
How much boost, HP, come w/intercooler?
Stuff like that. What type of ECU?
I'm definately in for the group buy though.
I'm ready to buy now.
Blu
SP_MARK 11-08-2003, 01:40 AM I'm glad to hear so many people are interested! As far as specs. go, I'm waiting for Blitz to get back from SEMA.... but, I know for sure you're looking at about a 30 hp. gain over stock motor. I hope to have specs for everyone on Monday!
Thanks,
Mark
gain in hp to the wheel or flywheel?
will it effect emission? sniffer or visual
showpaojoe 11-08-2003, 02:47 AM From what I've been told, it should be about 145-150 flywheel hp. Their not allowed to sell it yet though cuz it hasn't been cleared by blitz. Should be tho in about a week or two. I tried to get it and rotary 7 told me when blitz gets back next week theyl let me know.
KingLou 11-08-2003, 03:58 AM we're not sure yet...but, anywhere from 15-20 hours labor....and we charge $100 an hour for labor! please remember...this is just an estimate!
please...if you want to start group buy...make a list for me please or just email me!
Uuuum.......so $1500 to $2000 on the install alone? Either that's insane......or I failed a remedial mathematics course at some point.
KiL
Hardhitten 11-08-2003, 04:08 AM Ya that seems like alot for sure.. same price as turbo lol
Scionic 11-08-2003, 04:37 AM Forget about the labor then just go for the Blitz and get someone else to install but they do great work if you can shell out the clams.
Hardhitten 11-08-2003, 04:40 AM Hmm wish I knew someone that could for free.. It would be worth it then
KingLou 11-08-2003, 06:09 AM I dunno who's willing to fork over 15-20 hours worth of labor for free..............but to be real honest, if the install takes that long........seems like the kit is too complex. I thought one of the benefits of super over turbocharged is simplicity?
KiL
Hardhitten 11-08-2003, 06:41 AM That was my point, 2k in labor man o man.
squirrel 11-08-2003, 05:05 PM i'm down for the blitz SC, but 15-20 hours of labor!?! that will almost double the price of the mod!
squirrel
Docofmind 11-08-2003, 05:57 PM I d love to hear the details on this kit. I was poking around SEMA myself and found another company from Denmark that may also be interested in doing a SC kit for the scion.
If retail cost is 3500 msrp, i doubt you guys will be able to get it for under 3200, 3k at best. Blitz is very tight about their pricing and I highly doubt that there will be that much of a margin in it for it to be sold that low Especially for what is involved. Which leads me to the second point. Stage one should probably not even need injectors or even an ECU upgrade. Prob wont include an intercooler or aftercooler either for that price.
Regardless, please keep us posted. I dont think it will be long before we have a variety of choices for FI :) The more competition, the better the packages
Blu_Box 11-08-2003, 06:22 PM Hey all,
Mark @ SP said he needs 10 people to commit, and he can get great prices.
Send him a PM if you're serious.
Price is well below $3000.
I think it will be a great deal.
After Monday we should know all the specs, so no worries.
Until then, save those pennies & be the first to roll an SC Scion!
Blu
Scionic 11-08-2003, 06:46 PM i doubt you guys will be able to get it for under 3200, 3k at best.
Be a little more optimistic and you'd be surprised. :wink:
showpaojoe 11-08-2003, 08:32 PM 8-12 hours most likely but still $100/hr is pricey and most likely worth it. I had a little shop near my house install a supercharger on a focus for $50/hr and it took about 10 hours. You definately get what you pay. They fukd it up so bad the first time around and it ended up taking almost 2 weeks. These are the same _______s who later put in the wrong freon in my a/c and the entire system burned down. $1200 for a great install is worth it for me.
He will know by next week which will be cool but I'm still gunna try and find out if my friend can still do a group buy as well just so we can have a little price fight-off. Who wants our business more?
Kodokan_4 11-08-2003, 09:39 PM I'm glad to hear so many people are interested! As far as specs. go, I'm waiting for Blitz to get back from SEMA.... but, I know for sure you're looking at about a 30 hp. gain over stock motor. I hope to have specs for everyone on Monday!
Thanks,
Mark
Hey, Mark-
What is the status of the supercharger kit for the xA?
If the xA kit is perfected, I might jump on the group buy, as well.
-Pete
KingLou 11-09-2003, 09:25 AM Is the blitz supercharger a roots style supercharger?
KiL
KingLou 11-09-2003, 11:12 AM Nevermind.......I saw a picture of the blitz kit.......definitely looks like a roots setup.
KiL
Scionic 11-09-2003, 04:10 PM .... group buy as well just so we can have a little price fight-off. Who wants our business more?
Out of respect for the rest of the people on this board and the vendors let's all keep this little wager war private. Keep everything with number's PM'd unless of course unless the vendors become sponsors.
scionara 11-09-2003, 05:27 PM but, I know for sure you're looking at about a 30 hp. gain over stock motor. I hope to have specs for everyone on Monday!
Let's do some math here.... let say we got an semi-awesome deal of 2500 for the supercharger and 15 hours of labor @ 100. That's sums up to 4000 Gs for 30 HP.
Is it me or is that a bit much for 30HP (not sure if whp or crank hp) gain? Just my 2 cents which what I have in my pocket right now....
showpaojoe 11-09-2003, 08:32 PM No prices out loud.
If the blitz isn't under warranty, and with that kinda cash, engine swap. Will the blitz be under warranty cuz if not, I aint gunna wait for trd. I already have the gt engine sitting next to me and that still is only gunna be 155 flywheel, same thing, same price. If both aren't street legal, thats a 4k waste for most people.
SP_MARK 11-10-2003, 06:26 PM From what I've been told, it should be about 145-150 flywheel hp. Their not allowed to sell it yet though cuz it hasn't been cleared by blitz. Should be tho in about a week or two. I tried to get it and rotary 7 told me when blitz gets back next week theyl let me know.
well, you were told wrong! we are authorized dealers for Blitz and this product has been available to us for the past month! If you want to go throught Rotary Secret 7 have fun while everyone else gets the supercharger from me! Specs should be up today everyone...please be as patient as i am!!
i own page 3!!!
Mark @ SP
showpaojoe 11-10-2003, 07:55 PM Mark, so is it the same as the one for the echo because that has been out for some time now? Your probably right and the guys from rotary are probably fukn wid me but my other friend, who doesn't work there, told me about the horsepower, ecu, ic and all the ____ like that but rotary has given me no useful info watsoever, only that it isn't available until next week.
arinvolvo 11-10-2003, 08:37 PM This is an excerpt from an email from rxcret7.
BLITZ are still working on translation of the instructions, but they
are
available and we can get them this week if you need them.
currently if you guys are looking for get 3 or more kits I believe I
can
give you the price around $2400-$2500
but let me talk to them again tomorrow cause i need to pick some stuff
up
from BLITZ, and see if the instructions are almost ready
Thank you
