i could be mistaken, but i was lead to believe it was actually a physical switch installed somewhere on your dash... its very possible it could all be throttle position though!

-jon

 

I also heard it was a dial type of switch

 

LOL... The switch controls when the s/c is activated... the **** is actually a 25-50-75 percent throttle imputs...


meaning when you switch the **** to 75percent the S/C doesnt come on till you open up the throttle till 75percent open...

 

HHHHMMM !!! I'm seriously thinking about getting the Blitz Supercharger... I think I would make more than 130whp though because I have fuel mods to support the s/c ...

 

it would be quite a nice addition to any 1nz, and it looks frickin sweet! :D

if i were out of college already id be saving up for this providing i had some disposable income... do you think in a year ill still be able to get my hands on one?

yea.. I hear you on that one. Yes it can go a long way but *shivers* that's 3k.

 

Ordered Mine yesterday on iSTOREPARTS.com $2850 shipped!
I'm very excited about it. I was on the fence for a while between the blitz and power enterprise, but freddy's review of it helped me decide. I know its not as strong as the P.E. but your satisfaction level and numbers, and especially gas consumption make me feel good about it.
Thanks alot Freddy! I hope I have the same luck and results as you.

p.s. im still a little weary about the electronic clutch system, it seems like it could be a weak point in system longevity. but who cares

Wow 2850 shipped thats a great deal, just make sure your getting the US version not the japanese version. You can call blitz and they will give you the two five digit lot numbers so you can make sure you got the newer US version since that piggyback ecu works on 91 octane. The japanese version which has been out about two years thay piggyback ecu works on japan's 98-100 octane.

Glad I can help you pick your s/c. The reason I didn't go with the p/e s/c is that you have to feed it with your engine oil, thats something I will not do because if that s/c blowsup for any reason those metal shaving will go from your s/c via a oil feed line to your motor , no thanks if I blow up the blitz s/c some how just unbolt it and go back to your oem set up or go turbo. Also I heard p/e is going to redesign the their s/c from top to bottom because over the last couple of years they had some bearing problems and other little stuff they been patching up on the curent design.

Also a little 1.5 needs a roots style s/c for more low end torque. Since the motor is so small, the p/e s/c is a centrifugal blower thats is designed for high rpm hp for larger motor who already have plenty of low end torque. centrifugal s/c is a very good blower if you have a all out drag car, these cars leave the line a such a high rpm they arent worried about adding any low end torque because they can bearly get any traction as it is already. They need more mid range and top end charge and thats what they do best and they run way more boost than a roots type blower. roots only run between 6-8 pounds were a centrifugal can run almost an unlimited boost depends on your pulley choices and motor rpm range.

I know matchbox has 138 hp to my 123 hp and we both have 128 torque but Iam only running 6 pounds of boost and matchbox is running 11 pounds of boost. Thats a another reason why I picked blitz over power enterprise unit.. My engine with only 6 pounds of boost will last longer than a motor with 11 pounds, and pound for pound of boost the blitz puts out more even with a stock fuel pump and injectors.

Billy dont worry about the electronic clutch even if it failed I seen guys run it just like a b&m unit without the clutch. now it will be on all the time thats good because you got power right off idle but bad since it wont last as long since its always spinning. PS: I just got my weedssport tcoo5 wheels 15x7 with the g force drag radials 205 50 15 and this friday I get my act clutch installed, as soon as I get 500 miles on that clutch and its broken in Iam off the the 1/4 mile drag strip. Man are those wheels light I lost 12 pounds per wheel I will get my box back on the dyno friday to see if I picked up any hp or tq from the lighter wheels. It might not show up on the dyno but it will show up on the drag strip for sure. Billy as soon as you get your blitz installed let me know what you think, you wont be disappointed I know that for sure. The pe/s/c does make more hp since their kit has a bigger than stock fuel pump and injectors included in their kit.

Freddy

 

I'm reasonably sure the Blitz is the us version, the part number is 10157, and since the japanese only have automatic tranny, and the one I got is for manual I should be alright.
I dont think the PE s/c for the xb uses the shaft, its on the left side of the engine and uses piping to get the air to the right side where the throttle body is.
with the money you save buying the blitz, you could buy a fuel pump, and/or injectors and maybe matchup on power output. but it look waaay cooler.
I will post up when I finish installing, I am going camping next week and it should be here when I get back, it will take a couple of days to muster up the courage to install it.

 

Billy;

You are correct the p/e s/c doesnot have a shaft, I just worked a 12hr shift I guess my brain already shut down for the day when I wrote that. You have the US version the numbers are either 10157 or 10156. Mine was 10156 I don't know if those numbers refer to where it was made or when it was made. I talked to the guys at blitz about getting a intercooler, they said we don't need it since the piping has a straight shot of air coming from their design.

Also my aem cold air intake was custom cut so it goes from the tbody straight across to the spot right behind the fog light and then straight down to the filter, no bends at all. The shop said they needed to cut the pipe to fit it . I didn't notice what they did untill I looked at my friends stock non s/c aem cold air intake their is a few more bends a lot more pipe in the stock one then mind.

Does anybody know about the magnetic clutch? I purchased the TRD clutch and Titan flywheel hoping to maximize the potential but would the magnetic clutch replace the TRD or add a part on to it? Also after e-mailing Blitz they said they have a new version of the S/C and it only has one part number, unlike the 1st gen which had the 10156 and 10157.

 

I have a brand new blitz s/c for an automatic xa or xb for sale. PM me

 

it wont matter, its a completely different clutch. its the clutch that engages the s/c, not the gears in your transmission. so basically, you will have 2 clutch driven assemblies in your car when you install the blitz s/c. they are independent, so buying a trd clutch will not interfere with the s/c whatsoever.

-jon

 

I believe they are talking about the pulley clutch on the S/C, not the clutch on the transmission.

Good read, BTW. I like to see real-life testimonials.

 

looks like i gotta get my @$$ back to NY to see the diffence in teh performance of both F/I's

good stuff

Freddy post pics of your set up

 

mine is back ordered...
damnit

 

I believe the two part numbers deal with auto or manual, in other words the 10157 is for man, where as the 10156 is for auto trans

 

does anyone know if a dealer has it installed in a test car in the bay area CA. Or is anyone in the bay area willing to take me for a drive.

 

Bearwithmee;

The part number on my blitz s/c is 10156 and mine is for manual, so those numbers might be just lot numbers not for auto or manual.
