We know the Rotrex part is great, but the whole system including management has not been tested on a USDM car (except for saplaymate).
No one was willing to be the guinea pig for Power Enterprise, and PE was unwilling to throw one on a test car. Stalemate.

hahaha i know, probably won't go together as remotely easy either, but its something to look forward to.... If i had the cash or credit line i would jump on the PE kit in a second with the deal you have, but i'm too busy on my own car :-/
I honestly don't know why no one is taking this opportunity, its just money, bust your ass for a week at work and earn it for yourself! |

hahah what works out pretty well is if you can flip stuff on craigslist, i bought an H22 engine with blown block with intake mani for $200 and i sold the head for $250 which i could have easily have gotten more based on how many calls i got...
Plus i got $50 for scrapping the block so i atleast made profit!!! What i found to be easy is lowball someone on a 2000+ Sentra SE-R Spec V and resell it, my friend got one for $4200 recently and they can go for around $6000 Why don't you persuade Kyu(sp) to get the kit, im sure if you message him he'll do it! |

How is this relevant to ANYTHING about a supercharger.... mods please delete... Buying the Power Enterprise Kit and reselling it will result in us charging you FULL RETAIL PRICE... PLUS FEES for breaking contract. |

honestly, i'd jump on this deal with a quickness if someone would just buy my damn scooter. i've had it listed on craigslist and local circulars for a month and not one call. it's a $6500 scooter and i was hoping to get $5000 since it's still like brand new but i'd take $3000 at this point. so someone buy my yamaha majesty and i'll buy the kit.

hrm...everyone is slamming on this pretty hard...i guess i dont understand the big deal about USDM vs JDM...i mean, i traced my car down to a plant and found out that the only place its made is in japan. is there a differant engine management system on the us model vs the japanese one? cause if so, why arent the HP ratings and such differant...i havent heard anything about the 1nz-fe being any differant or having a differant computer than our US junk. all the stuff is built in japan guys...same stuff here as there.
the only thing i would be concerned about is a piggyback FMU, our cars dont ussually like chips and tend to relearn any sensor readings we send it, but other than that, its a centrifugal supercharger with a belt and intercooler kit...whats so "technical" about it? even if the piggyback FMU doesnt work, for the boost that supercharger is offering, you could get away with getting a adjustable fuel pressure regulator and have no problems...and from the sniffer tests i have seen, this car adapts to boost in the 6ish PSI range before it stops supplying enough fuel. so, i would say, take it for what it is. its a untested kit on a USDM model, but, whats the differance???? either way, it seems like a competative price. if you want it, buy it. if you dont, why not take your big baller make 3,000 a week and craigs list get rich schemes to another more appropriate thread and let the original vendor answer questions from people that actually have the money to afford this kit. I would think the last 13 pages of commentary from the rice battalion would be enough to get your points across. flame on.

hmm. This has been an interesting read.
Kind of too bad it hasn't been tested on a USDM car. It would be interesting to see a piggyback work on these cars. Keep the thread open, in hopes that someone steps up. If my car wasn't so new... Good luck, sir. |
