Tuning a remote mount supercharged setup
Tuning a remote mount supercharged setup Well guys I posted up in the forced induction section, I however didnt get too much feedback. Thats fine I figure if I build it they will come.
a cliff notes version is:
Gt500 supercharger IE Eaton M122
Costs 200-500 used 800 new
Making custom piping and mount
Move TB to infront of s/c
possibly intercooling
Custom hood scoop to cover cut holes to fit s/c
I can do all the fab, and at the end I should be under 1k-1.5K cost(not including time) Goal is 4-6psi for now.
Its more of a can I do it easily, and working out the kinks. I already have a supercharger pulley on my car so that helps.
Here is the thread:

I talked to EFI alchemy as Ill be honest I cant tune it. They seemed very iffy on if they would tune it. Mostly due to its "custom" nature. The guy seemed kinda perturb'd by the whole idea. Well I cant afford 10K to pay for a supercharger, all its parts, and tune.
I can afford 1-1.5K for the s/c and 1K for the tune, and 1K for misc thus the project. Of course easy upgrade to a twin screw whipple like the tvs2300 when they cost less in the coming years.
Soooo to the point, anybody got any suggestions
also anybody able to tune or help if efi alchemy says no? I cant build this and then not have it tuned lol
I also for peace of mind plan to pick up a iron lq9 at some point so if this goes belly up and kills the motor I just am forced to do the 408/418 swap I know ill end up doing sooner.

Problem with tuners is they are always iffy and then say they are great at the same time lol. Norris or lashway can tune it in. But probably expensive. If you got the money switch to the Holley self tuning stand alone. Btw I owned a 2012 gt500 with a tvs 2300 @ 21 psi. Made 695 rwhp. Blower is miles ahead od the stock unit.

I can find tvs2300 units as low as 1.5K but that is the budget right now for s/c intercooler, supporting fuel mods, and piping and materials. I think in the coming years the tvs unit will become much cheaper and then ill upgrade. Heck its probably gonna take me over a year to complete this.
