And I admire you for having the good sense to pay a professional lol! Time yes, every project takes me a long time, but if you heard some of words I use while working you would not call it patience

Thanks so much

I've gotten in way over my head more than once but it worked in the end, which just proves if I can do it, just about *anyone* can.

Say am I remembering right that you are Jenarae's bro?

I installed a supercharger on my car last winter. There's a picture of it in my garage album.

You may have heard people say that our cars have a four-cylinder, internal combustion engine. Each cylinder is just a tube in the engine that has a piston (a part that goes up and down) inside. Basically, the movement of the pistons is what makes the power that turns the wheels of the car.

To make the power, air and fuel get mixed together inside the cylinder above each piston. The spark plug ignites the air/fuel mixture, and that little explosion (combustion) drives down the piston--the force created is then transmitted to other parts of the car, and off you go.

The Blitz supercharger I have is a pretty complex part! It connects to the outside of the engine, and replaces one of the stock pieces. What it does is compress the air before it goes into the cylinders. More air means more fuel can be mixed with it, so the engine can do more work in each cycle of fuel burning. In other words it has more horsepower.

Summary: supercharger =

ahahahaha I thought he was wanting you to find out about it because HE wanted one! hmmm *could* that be the case?

Yes it was a lot of money and trouble, but I learned so much and the thing makes me happy, every day how can you put a price tag on that.

But then I do love cars and going fast (on the racetrack only) so for me it has been worth it.

Did you see the pink steering wheel kustom play has for sale? I think you said you like pink, what do you think of it?

What are the before/after stats with your Yaris? I have been toying with the idea of getting a turbo charger - not until next summer since I'm in Minnesota and it's already almost winter time lol I want to be able to enjoy it for a while before I have to drive 5mph through 10 feet of snow for 6 months haha

....and again, I will be paying someone to install it ..... if you want to do another one let me know LOL jk :)

Ah dear lord, the pace at work has been brutal lately, sorry I didn't answer before.

Let's see, before and after: on a recent test I did a 7.7 second 0-60, with close to 149 hp...surely someone with experience at it could improve that time. Stock the Yaris is advertised as having 106 hp at the crank (plenty of stock dynos here in the 90s range at the wheel). So my results sound about right, as the s/c is advertised as providing a 30+ hp gain, and my other intake/exhaust mods make up the rest.

I will never work on the car in the winter again lol! It was so cold, got dark so early, made the whole process just plain unpleasant and took much longer than expected.
