Another supercharger question....... please don't discriminate [Archive]

Alright here's what I got going: next spring I will hit 100,000 miles and will no longer have a warranty. I want to supercharge the Marauder, but I'm getting a no from my father because he thinks it was be undependable and end up like my truck. :argue: (at my machanics garage more then mine because I supercharged it, but it's carbed.) I keep telling him that the Marauder supercharger will be fine like an M5. Still in full factory quality with go power. My question being does Vortech, or ProCharger offer the same deal that Trig does? 100,000 mile warranty from when you bolt it on? I have a vortech supercharger on my Blazer and I'm about to pull the engine out in 2 weeks because it's not dependable as a daily driver. I kinda fear this on the marauder but the kits we have are designed for it while the Blazer was kinda just bolted on and the companys design was never intended for daily use. When I turn on my AC at a slow pace the truck stalls, i have gone through 4 power steering pumps in the past 6 weeks, cruse control out........ exc just little things going out that we all LOVE! Also do you think I could use my existing vortech supercharger on the marauder? It looks the same however the one I have is for a carb engine if it makes any difference. So do I have anything to worry about? I don't as far as buying a new kit and the fuel injection cured the problem of running too rich or too lean so I don't think the Marauder would die. Again please confirm that supercharging the marauder is fine and it will be the same car that it is now, only quicker. Still dependable, still full functioning, still 20 mpg highway right? :rolleyes: I would rather put a blower in the Marauder then put my 450 HP engine in something else! :up:

I can vouch for the Trilogy supercharger kit, since that's what I've installed on my car 15 months ago. It hasn't effected the dependability nor the driveability of the car at all, and my car is my daily driver. But the only thing I have to tell you that's negative is that I'm not so sure that supercharging an engine that already has 100,000 miles on it is such a good idea. You'll be puting considerably more strain on that motor which has already seen it's better days. And my guess is that if you wrote to, or called Jerry Barnes of Trilogy Motorsports, he might very well tell you this same thing.

Dominic, the last time we talked, you had plans to install a Weiand/Roots blower on your Blazer. When did you switch to a Vortech centrifugal? You never mentioned that here...

Anyway...What ever you decide to buy for your Marauder, any one of the three kits offered here come complete with all the necessary parts, tuning and instruction manuals. Nothing else to buy, but the install.

With regards to your mileage and durability, each kit has options to turn up the power, which you may want to think about before you do. None of the stock kits are threatening to a stock engine, but how you drive the bad boy after supercharging, is.

Refreshing the bottom end of a high miler engine isn't that expensive, and it would open up another door of entertainment for you. Things done right, it's a no-brainer.

Have you considered turbocharging? PTK has a nice kit for about the same money as the ProCharger from F.I.T. and an air-to-air Vortech kit from Reinhart. Can't beat that kind of power for under 5 large...

Hey, I will just copy over what I posted on the other simular thread. Another criteria to consider...I am not going to rehash whose is best, faster, bigger, prettier, etc. But consider this, over 100 Trilogy Kits sold and installed to very satisfied customers. Find out how many of the other kits have been sold. While i dont know exact numbers of the others, it is safe to say all of them combined are still only a fraction compaired to the number of Trilogy kits. That must mean something. Everyone criticizes that the Trilogy kit may cost $500 more than another, then why is everyone buying it? You must be getting more for that extra money you spent for the kit. You are buying into a "family". Trilogy takes care of its customers more than any other company I have dealt with, customer service almost to a fault! But that is good if you are one of their customers. Ask people that have each kit and see why others are buying the Trilogy kit more than any other kit.

My question being does Vortech, or ProCharger offer the same deal that Tri(lo)g(y) does? 100,000 mile warranty from when you bolt it on? Where did you get this information? It is incorrect. Trilogy offers a 1-Year Limited Warranty covering the component parts that make up the supercharger unit only (no labor covered under the warranty.) Trilogy is not warranting your engine.

Dave - it doesn't matter how many each have sold. It comes down to personal preference and there are plenty of people with each that can express their opinion about their own kit. The number of kits sold had no bearing on my decision. It was made after informed research and preference. If we each stick to talking about our own kit and our experience with the vendor, all will be well. You have been a trailblazer for Trilogy in your #2's performance! :D

I will respectfully disagree. I think there is a direct connection between how many Trilogy's have sold since they cost a few hundred dollars more. A lot of people have commented on that point. So when there are cheaper choices out there, and a customer chooses the Trilogy kit in spite of cost, that tells me that person has a definite personal preferences. I have been very careful in this topic, which is a minefield at best. I am simply stating that numbers mean a lot. For me personally, Cost was not the issue, performance was. I am convinced as much now as I was 2 years ago, that I made the right choice and bought the best possible supercharger kit for my Marauder.

Bunny, I couldn't agree more. All of the kits are great and #'s really don't matter. If it did, Procharger has sold more than 40,000 superchargers. The most beng the P1SC which is in my kit. But also Trilogy is the leader in Marauder kits, no question about it. I also agree with Billy and Mac, putting a s/c on a 100K motor is risky. Replacing the internals with forged rotating assembly would give you basically a brand new motor.

BTW, Bunny hope to see you tonight at the criuse at K-Mart. TOM

I wasnt talking about superchargers in general, cause that opens another can of worms. How many of those 40,000 prochargers came stock on any new car? How many Eatons come stock on cars of all makes and models, a ton! It would be safe to say that more eatons are out there than Prochargers, and I would be willing to bet that there are way more vortechs out there than both eatons and prochargers. So lets keep this thread on track. We are talking about Marauder superchargers, right? Bottom line, the reason that Trilogy has sold more Eaton Kits for the Marauder is because people have come to learn it is best suited for the Marauder. I havent heard of a single Trilogy owner wishing he had bought a different kit, cant say the same about people that bought either a vortech or procharger based kit. Numbers mean something.

I would have to agree with Dave on this one.

What comes stock on most vehicles? They do a lot of testing and require supplier to do thorough testing as well.

That will probably swing my decision in the end. Even though, I have thought about the cheaper options. But must consider all of the options.

What about the fact that Trilogy has been selling superchargers longer, doesn't that have to do with how many were sold?
If ProCharger started selling when Trilogy did and Trilogy started selling when ProCharger did the numbers would be reversed!
How many units means NOTHING!!!
All 3 kits are equal in quality and performance...PERIOD!

You are forgetting that Trilogy wasn't the first SC on the market for our car. So the arguement about having a head start is invalid. If having a head start meant the difference, then there should be more vortechs out there. Ultimately it is a personal choice, nothing more, nothing less. And it is my personal choice that for the Marauder is that Roots style is the only choice. It is the choice I had to make when I got supercharged. And I think that is why more people are buying the Trilogy Kit at a greater rate than any other setup. While I may have paid more for my kit than you did, I would gladly pay more just not to have a centrifugal blower. You still have to weigh your options and choices for what is best for you.

Seems to me that Dave has a good point, Eaton is the choice of OEM designers and craftsmen, and that should mean something in the overall picture. However, when discussing this usually volatile topic, we should be fair.

Fairness makes me ask how many of those customers who bought automobiles with Eaton blowers under the hood from the factory, knew, or, even cared about that? Giving Eaton that credit seems overly generous. But, if there was a way to glean out of the sales stats, who bought a particular car because it had an Eaton 'charger under the hood, well now that number would mean something.

It would mean something when compared to the sales of Procharger, Vortech, and the rest, all of which are voluntary choices, thought out decisions, and intentional ownership. It would be helpful if we had those numbers, but we don't. We do have a scale of popularity right at our fingertips...NMRA racing. I'm asking because I don't know, and maybe it would be better to count just the technology, not the manfacturer.

How many pro racers drive on centrifugal, how many on Roots, how many on twin screw? You think some casual paging through popular mags will give us a few clues?

Just asking...

To me the #s dont mean anything. I wanted a factory look and more low end TQ. At times i wish i would have gotten one of the other kits just for the more HP out of the box and the easier install. I am very happy with my Trilogy just wish it had more power. The #s do say how tried and true they are but at one time Trilogy was the new guy on the block. I forget the name of the new vendor with the centrif s/c but he has sold units on this board and his customers are happy. To me the Trilogy is a different animal all together because of his type of s/c and the results from it. You need to ask yourself some ?s do you want a factory look? do you want the easiest install? how much hp do you want and where in the rpm range? then you will pick the right one. Customer service is important but mostly the bigger the vendor the better the customer service because there is more people and resources to help you. I wish i still lived in Michigan so i can go to those Trilogy openhouses and meet the group up there but that will probably never happen :( . And i am hungry.

I forgot nothing!
Here is how it went, the Vortech went first for a lot more $$$, most people were hesitant which is why not a lot of people joined the bandwagon even to this day, talk of the Trilogy for a lot less money was in the air ...a lot of people waited for it and jumped in with 2 feet saving money for the same performance. Now A LOT later the ProCharger is out, after most people that planned on supercharging already did! Timing is everything!!!!!
You cannot use the numbers sold as an indication of anything but timing.
Again if ProCharger came out when Trilogy did the numbers would be pretty much the same only reversed.
If all three Superchargers were released the same day and for the same money then your point would hold water.
I forget NOTHING!

Dave, Trilogy has been on the market for two Years or more.

We have been on the market for 5 months.

I would hope that Trilogy would have sold many more kits.

I think Trilogy has a great kit and will not debate that but I will debate your comment about the number of kits sold.

I feel that quality, time the kit came out and other factors play a part of sales. :)

If all three Superchargers were released the same day and for the same money then your point would hold water. I tend to agree, but with a correction. The first Vortech supercharger available wasn't a kit, but a whole car makeover, so, you can't fairly include this in the comparasion of kits per se. Following that, Trilogy produced the first kit available to the public, followed by Reinhart water-to-air Vortech, followed by F.I.T.'s air-to-air Procharger kit, followed by Reinhart's air-to-air Vortech. Now I agree with your statement, Trilogy has had the most time on the street, so, it's lead in sales figures is partially due to availability. It's not the least expensive kit either, so, the sales figures are not the product of a price war.

Mike, Greg, I really have tried not to argue or get pissy about things. I was just voicing my opinion, my thoughts on how things have played out with superchargers and marauders. I didnt bring up the usual arguements about whos is better or bigger or faster or whatever. You guys are entitled to your opinions as well. You also dont need to get defensive or curt about it. I really dont comment on things I dont have personal experience with. What I do know for a fact is my Trilogy Marauder runs better accross the entire driving spectrum than any vortech equipped Marauder up to now. My experience, my opinion. Least you can do is respect my thoughts like I respect yours.

Good points. That was something that I was trying to point out....all kits are available now. So why does it appear that more people are paying more for a Trilogy? Well...I do know why! And I drive it every day!

Ya lost me when you said "So why does it appear that more people are paying more for a Trilogy?"
Do you mean more people bought Trilogy before ProCharger even came out? Then yes I agree with you.

Again all 3 blowers are very cool I was just trying to correct your earlier statement about using the amount of units sold as to which one you thought was better not taking into the account the release dates of these superchargers.
It would be impossible for me to get defensive as I am half Vulcan.

Nothing against any of the vendors here (because I may be buying from one of them someday :) ), But I would like to see HP make a twin turbo kit for the MM. Check out some of their kits for 4.6's at turbochargedpower.com.

EDIT - the prices seem high, but on a stang the price includes the whole tubular k member, arms and coil-over kit so you can shoe horn those babies in there.

What I mean is since the Procharger Kit came out, more people have bought Trilogy kits. And If you can say that all 3 blower kits are cool, congrats, cause I am assuming you have driven each one to make that claim, I unfortunatly have not had the chance to drive a procharger car yet, the other two I have driven. I expect you to stick up for the one you chose, that is natural, I have done the same. I like the Trilogy and if given the choice of any kit for free for my new Marauder, it would be another Trilogy car. Maybe it will be kit # 200!

Ok thank you for answering my question. So 100,000 miles with a supercharger would need to have some internals changed? Like what? This is all highway miles so I was told nothing would be needed. Once again this turned into a more of a debate then advice. :shake: Are you guys sure your 30, 40 or 50 years old? Seems like everyone is 12 arguing over which pokemon card is the rareist. :lol: HERES ONE REASON I AM HESITANT TO GO WITH VORTECH OR PROCHARGER: My vortech on my truck keeps coming unplugged, the air hose or whatever you call it. Sargent Mac is right I was going to get a Weiand which is styled like the Trig, but 2 broke! They both locked up and thats why I went with the blow dryer style then one that sits on top. I know trig is a different company then Weiand and they better be better too. So all and all I would have no problems with bolting any supercharger on and use the car like I did for the first 100,000 miles right? :rolleyes:

I think the performance of all the kits is remarkably similar, in any given race it will come down to the better driver. They are all capable of producing more HP than traction. Just look at the 60' times of some N/A's vs some S/C cars.

I made my choice based on 1) exisiting business relationship, 2) high heat and humidity in my area and 2) racing the 1/4 mile.

If I lived in MI I would have bought a different kit. I mistakenly thought a Vortec would allow for consistant launches, however I learned that no traction is no traction regardless of which S/C you have. :D

I'm not sure I am "sticking up for anything". I am trying to explain the units sold over time differential. Let me try putting it another way...If I had bought a Trilogy (and I almost did) I would still see that its wrong to say more people bought Trilogy because it is better and not because of time on the market. Can I be any clearer or fairer then that? We are comparing 4 months to 2 years here...COME ON! I would also think that by this point in time most people who are buying superchargers already did and neither brand will be able to touch the numbers of the last 2 years.

I do not remember ever saying the ProCharger was better, only cheaper and required a lot less labor to install.
I will stick up for my family...not a piece of metal that spins real fast.

I wasnt talking about superchargers in general, cause that opens another can of worms. How many of those 40,000 prochargers came stock on any new car? How many Eatons come stock on cars of all makes and models, a ton! It would be safe to say that more eatons are out there than Prochargers, and I would be willing to bet that there are way more vortechs out there than both eatons and prochargers. .I don't think that there are more of anything than there are of Eaton superchargers like the Trilogy kit has IF you include OE applications in production cars. Because for the after market and OE applications there are literally 500,000 cars equipped with Eaton superchargers.

This is a direct result of Eaton being the choice of car manufactures such as Ford, Buick, Mercedes, Jaguar, Aston Martin, and I believe Pontiac also. No other supercharger manufacture even comes close.

F.I.T. started to ship kits at the beginning of March, Correct?

Since the beginning of March, Trilogy has heavily outsold F.I.T. and all the others combined.

Ever ask yourself why?

I run consistent 1.6 second 60 foot times at the track with my supercharged Marauder. That's with drag radials ofcourse. If you run standard radials with a supercharged Marauder, then forget about trying to acheive consistent 60' times that are any better than ones acheived with N/A Marauders, cuz it aint gonna hapen. Not on a consistent basis.:)

I don't think that's what dave meant. He was more clear here:

What I mean is since the Procharger Kit came out, more people have bought Trilogy kits.

I don't think total sales are as relevant as comparative sales over an equal amount of time on the market. And, Dave is correct, over the last 4 months or so (as long as all 3 choices have been available) Trilogy is still outselling the rest. Whatever that means, its up to the individual to say.

I'm not going to sit here and preach about which kit is best. They all have there merits. BUT, to say that all the kits are simialr ....no way. Not a chance.

HOW each kit makes power needs to be looked at. Peak numbers are worthless except for fancy signatures. Where in the power band peak TQ is produced, and the shape of the TQ curve is what is more important. If you review this data, you will find that the kits in question are indeed VERY different.

As far as quality, reliability, and streetability are concerned, I'll just point to the fact that just about every OEM application on the planet has beet an eaton roots blower. You have to ask yourself why. Why would companies accross many different lines of business that have 100s of millions in R&D dollars select the eaton roots blower for OEM applications? Whether or not someone bought a car because it had an eaton blower is irrelevant. The point is that the OEM engineers chose the eaton blower for very specific reasons. Reliability and power production characteristics (where in the rpm band power is produced) are the biggest reasons.

All that said, the above points do not say which kit is better. They are there for the would-be SC buyers to consider so that they get the "best fit" with what they want to achieve.....nothing more.

Either way, to say the kits are "alike" is simply not true.

All that said, the above points do not say which kit is better. They are there for the would-be SC buyers to consider so that they get the "best fit" with what they want to achieve.....nothing more.

Either way, to say the kits are "alike" is simply not true.A great and truthful post^

Well another S/C tread, how wonderfull. OK Now I have to put my 2 cents in. I've never driven a Vortech S/C so I can't say much about it , The Vortech Guys never say much either about it for some reason. But as far as the Procharger & Trilogy I have a few things to say. First I purchased a Trilogy S/C & I'm very happy with it. Lot's of low end tq. Runs great. Another one of my friends with a Marauder with a Procharger S/C on it loves his too. I've driven his a number of times & he has driven mine too. His runs great too & has lot's of power too. How much power you end up with all has to do with the who's doing the tuning & what other mods you have done. It's all personal preference, in the end if your happy it's the right kit for you.
