supercharger?

I was aiming for 220bhp on a low output setup and 250bhp on a high output version.....however, those figures got completely blown out of the water once Paul started mapping lol.
Pricing is not yet finalised as I am going to change the bracket material and one of the idler pulleys to an easier available item to lower machine time and component cost. Once everything is complete the kit price will be advertised, not until then.
As it stands, its an awesome upgrade for a stock engine and we just have to test how the gearbox and clutch hold up, but it seems to have been ok on the dyno so far. If not, then the kit will be restricted for 100% stock engines.
Must say a massive thanks to Paul, he has put in so much effort into the project, especially RE getting it running on the stock ecu.
The kits will only be available through Angelworks and RSTuning.

Is this the kit that retains everything? No loss of air con?
E39 M5 & Corsa track
depends what charger you go for, we use the rotrex c type chargers alot which use their own oil supply, so long as you keep you eye on the oil, it shouldn't leak any, its pretty maintence free, just oil change, no need for expencive rebuilds etc.
saw paul murray's supercharged ph1 172 in this months performance french car magit looks animal!
Put it this way, he could make a fortune just by charging 10 quid round the block never mind selling the kit. Its a complete weapon!
I drove Pauls supercharged Clio the other week. Amazing bit of kit! Its been a long time since I was so impressed with something. Not only does it have bags of power but it is so tractable its untrue! It makes power all the way up the rev range and has such a smooth torque curve. Still pulls from 1000RPM as well and does it cleanly.
Its easy to make something fast/powerful. Takes a lot more effort to package it effectively, calibrate it so it drives like OEM and make it useable. 10/10 on all counts.
Paul/Ben - well done lads!!!!!!!!!
Cheers

When I saw bits of the kit down at AWT I was impressed, even more so at the outrageous amounts more power than it was expected to make!
White Evo V
Theres a guy who runs rs tuning in leeds whos got a mk1 172 in white thats supercharged, I saw him testing it up and down the road a few months back, sounded amazing so I drove down and followed him back to rs and he put it on the dyno, he said he was just doing the last touches as it was running rich but hopefully it would make about 300hp and he was running standard internals i think, The car certainly looked like it had 300hp, sounded like a 1000hp skyline!!!! amazing car too!!!! he said once hed got it running perfect he was going to be doing the conversion for approx £3k I think but dont hold me to that!
RS RIP
I think it will be there much earlier and not as heavy of a hit in torque. A turbo needs exhaust fumes to spool up untill it can release power so revs have to be made to get it spooling ; the charger will be spinning all along even at idle because it's belt driven
