Who makes the RK sport SuperCharger kit?

[PewterBird]

Is it magnusen?

[Teufel Hunden]

Powerdyne

[PewterBird]

Thanks. Do you know if Magnusen makes any kits for the 3.8 Fbody?

[Teufel Hunden]

I don't believe they do. I think the powerdyne is the only one that comes in a full kit like that.

you can check www.machperformance.com and see if they are selling the procharger kit for the v6 f-body yet.

I found this on the site
F-Body 3800 Series II Intercooled Supercharger system (Now Available)
I think you have to call them i can not find a price the number is (586) 468-6300

Just called them, They said the kit makes 275 HP
at the wheels. It is complete but it costs $4395.00 Just a little steep, eh?

Rksport makes the kit...powerdyne makes the blower unit. You can buy it at a few places.

The mach performance kit uses a different blower and I think it may be mounted (forward) and driven off of a modified(auxiliary) crank mounted pulley with its own belt. It think the blower is gear driven...it may have it's own resevoir or come with oil feed tube for oil pan. not sure...they don't tell you much about the kit at the website.
If the machperformance website had more /better webpage about the kit it would sure be easier to compare the two kits.

^ correct..RKsport makes all the mounting hardware/brackets/tubes etc and powerdyne supplies the head unit..personally i would go with the powerdyne..its cheaper..self contained so im assuming easier..and you can get 275 at the rear wheels (if not more) with a custom made smaller pulley from aspracing.com and a couple other small goodies ..the 6psi kit alone is good for around 250 at the rear wheels as is and i ran it for about a month before even adding the FMU..never added the boost timing module..i only added the FMU to run juice with it (of course i would advise installing it as instructed)

Mach uses an ATI P1SC, and is intercooled.

It is a gear driven unit so it requires an oil feed line. there is more potential in the mach kit but fewer people have it so there would be very little help for you about what you should do and it would be up to you to try new things. If you can get a used RK kit for 3k or less go for it. it is the easiest install ever and offers very decent gains. Later on you could get heads, a cam, and other supporting mods and easily break 300whp.

Actually the P1SC is self contained. That was the big change from the old P600s.

really? i never knew that. then there really isnt a difference in the difficulty of install. my bad.

I just found out that my girlfriends mom is like old friends with the owners of magnusen. Shes known them since before their business got huge. She got a christmas card from them (personal, not corporate) and she was suprise I knew who they were.She says they are very nice people and she said she might be able hook me up.

I should look in to this. How safe is it to supercharge a engine with 85k on the clock?

Safe as you make it. The 3.8's are tough engines, and don't like giving in as long as you maintain it. You'll be fine boosting 6-10 intercooled. But anything over that you may want to buy a block and start building it with forged internals just incase.
