whats the deal with the blitz S/C

and why is most ppl giving it bad reviews

whats wrong with it

besides costing around $3k for it...

BoomBox757

it costs 3g and doesn't add that much horsepower. its the lack of poser that youget for 3g

Littleguy

But what you do get is reliability (supposedly). $3K to boost an n/a car safely isn't really that bad.

what I heard is that is about between 20 and 30 hp.

its better then nothing, i rather go with the blitz S/C since it does have the elctro clutch for the S/C anyways

i want it more then a turbo anyday cause i find the coolness factor is lot better anyways

Where did you see these 'bad' reviews? The 3 reviews that are actually in the 'Parts' section are pretty much glowing.

jct

on the boards and else where on here but not the reviews no

On a mildly related note, whoever is in charge needs to remove the reviews for the TRD charger for the tC. Seeing as how it's not out yet, they obviously can't rate it. Not only that, but anyone who rates a product low and simply states "turbos have more coolness factor" should be drug into the street and shot until they either come to their senses or die *shrug*

Well that's a unique way to put it.

But pretty much as others have said, it's low power output for what you spend and isn't upgradeable unless you get a custom pulley made and Blitz won't do that. you're basically stuck with all the NA expensive mods once you've gone with the supercharger.

It's more for show cars because Blitz is high points when it comes to name brand forced induction setups but superchargers still don't get as many points as a name brand Turbo setup. Even if you go with a basic custom turbo kit, that's not up there in points with a brand name turbo kit like Greddy or HKS.

they way i see it if you say this s/c come with only low end power how low are you talking about at what rpm range band

i like the sounds of low end power alot the best i've seen or should i say i was impressed by was a 58 chrysler 392 with a GMC 6-71 roots blower that was cranking out 1200 hp at 2300 rpms now thats f**kin sweet ___

hotbox05

well most s/c's start boost around 1500. so pretty low depends on how the system is set up and the motor.

dgHotLava

remember that superchargers are parasitic...
they take power to make power..
so, while they can start making boost low in the RPM's, it takes a little more to nagate the losses.
by 2500-3000RPM you notice the diff....

jct

huh, pls go more into detail

dgHotLava

more detail on what???

jct

on what you just said

didn't quite under stand this part "it takes a little more to nagate the losses. by 2500-3000RPM you notice the diff"

rotarycolt

It takes power to make power... usually the gain isn't that much @ lower RPM, since the boost isn't as high (with centrifugals).

jct

ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh i seeee now sorry takes me a little while to figure things out thats still lot better then the higher rpm range band



i don't really like centrifugals s/c anyways the coolness factor just isn't there in my book

the way i see it should be popping out/poking thru the hood or wtih hillborn injectors

but the sleeper look is the way to go most of the time

hotbox05

yeah i suppose that a roots type is "cooler" a centrifugal sure does yield more power. (normally)

dgHotLava

wouldn't that look silly sittin' sideways????
