got a new supercharged MM

[LANDY]

as most of you know i totaled my ride 11/25/09.
on 12/24/09 i purshased a '03 300a vortech s/c with 50k miles, drove the car and fell inlove with it.
it has stage 2 BC automotive trans and triple plate converter, rebuild rearend with 4.10s and stock axles. right now i have the car parked at my job because i havent tag it yet.
things that bothered me:
no gauges for fuel press, trans cooling, or boost.
(i need some if any of you have any of those for sale let me know.)
its got toyos 285/50/18s in rear, on stock sized wheels, they make the car look like a 1970's and 80's dragcar.:shake:
tome to start transforming the car to my standards.
i will need some help from you guys since i ont know the pros and cons of a centrifugal s/c car.
Thanks
LANDY

Congrats! Shame on you for posting without pics! :D Centris give you boost faster and equally througout the power band. Cons, which one is it? How many miles on the blower? How many PSI? Big enough blow off valve, was it a kit or put together piece by piece? I'm jealous!

[Motorhead350]

If the tires are in good shape and you wanna part with them I have Dunlop 255/55/18s on mine I believe. They are still in good shape.

I like the look of the huge tire. Let me know if you are interested.

[2,4shofast]

Good find! Pics are a must however...:beer:

[bawazir]

show us the pics?????????????????????????? ???????????????????

[a_d_a_m]

I like the look of the huge tire. +1, I run 285's. Car has much better road manners, too.

[breeze]

i want big tires on the rear gives it that agressive look i likey

its an air to air kit from reinhart. dont know how much boost but the previous owner told me it dynoed @ 459rwhp. pic will come once i get to my job 2morrow. the blower was installed @ 27k miles and the tranny and rearend was done @ 45k miles.

[FordNut]

Enjoy the new ride. Be careful.

[Mac-MerC]

congrats playa

[LANDY]

Enjoy the new ride. Be careful.
i will and since its not a daily driver it wont be driven on wet pavement, i will be watching the forecast.
THANKS

[FordNut]

I remember 450 rwhp or so. It was a lot of fun.

[dohc324ci]

Hey man congrats on the new SC/MM! Enjoy.

[Go2GuyFL]

Many congrats, Landy!! Bet Liz is excited, too. Let us know when the meet is on in Gainesville. We'll be challenged now to decide which one to ridee over (although the SB has a sunroof and half the mileage).

[DOOM]

:welcome: to the world of BOOST! :burnout:

[-Matt-]

Dont crash this one! Good luck man and welcome to the Vortech family!

[LANDY]

thanks guys, i wont have dry pavement ONLY tires anymore. and wont drive the car on wet pavement either.
following DOOM's suggestions.

[LANDY]

Dont crash this one! Good luck man and welcome to the Vortech family!
is that s/c installed yet?

[bigmerc'03]

welcome VORTECH brother

[RF Overlord]

Centris give you boost faster and equally througout the power band. Actually, centrifugal superchargers have lower boost at low RPMs and increase boost as RPMs increase, kind of like a turbo.

Roots-type blowers behave as you described.

I know it has less at low RPMs, but, I was under the impression that they got up pressure a lot faster than the roots style and had more to give at higher engine rpm.

[DOOM]

Is the car you just got a members car?

[cougar9150]

Congrats on the new MM, can't wait for a ride.

[johnnyrauder]

459rwhp wow be careful that DR air to air makes alot of hp i have the same kit the v3 an have mine tuned at about 430rwhp on the advice of my tuner he said any more than that you can blow the bottem end of the moter.. pics please.. how much did you buy it for?

Give Dennis a call and discuss your new purchase with him. He should have a copy of the work done on that car--as a file if not the hard copy stuff... and be really careful --You will need to learn how to drive all over again--they are quick--for awhile just give the go juice when going straight--you will soon be good at everything...and when ..

[ImpalaSlayer]

with my roots, the boost may as well be an on or off switch. you either have it or you dont. with a centri it builds boost like a turbo as said above. you are correct on your point that they have more to give at higher rpms.

[boatmangc]

Nice Landy, glad to hear you got one already blown, 459 huh? I guess you'll be lookin at me in the rear view at SSHS10.

[ImpalaSlayer]

looks good Landy!

BUT: holy rear ride height sensor! adjusting that should be your first mod!

[ImpalaSlayer]

also those front tires look very low profile. what the hell is going on there?

LANDY

congrats man, now get that launch down like u had the black one. and BE CAREFUL!

[LANDY]

Is the car you just got a members car?
he was a Motorcitymarauders member but he rather not be mentioned.
sorry.
LANDY

[LANDY]

Congrats on the new MM, can't wait for a ride. yup you will also get to drive it.
i just need to get the mandatory gauges, and make sure the trans cooler is the upgraded one.

[Glockafella]

They look low prof cause the rears are ginormis!

Nice car, with some TLC it could be a show winner bro! Little things need attention and I know you will sort them out.

Start with the tail pipes!

Congrats. I am jealous as heck!

[LANDY]

it has the v2 and i got him to lower it down to 11,500. thats another reason why i couldn't refuse it.

[LANDY]

Nice Landy, glad to hear you got one already blown, 459 huh? I guess you'll be lookin at me in the rear view at SSHS10.
thank you Sir.
im going to contact Dennis about the tune records and maybe detune it for reliability. i also thought those were some steep #'s for stock bottom end

[LANDY]

also those front tires look very low profile. what the hell is going on there?
i dont know how to adjust the rear, im pretty sure i would rub if i lower it, the front tires are falken 245/45/18. i dont like them either

[Glockafella]

Geez I am running 235/50s and they dont look near as low prof

[ImpalaSlayer]

its simple to adjust. once you find it just loosen it and move it either left or right. one will make it go up one will make it go down. it doesnt take much. its on the wattslink FYI.

and make sure you turn off the AS b4 you go under there messing with it lol.

get it siffing right on some real rubber and she will be golden!

[LANDY]

mine are wider, but shorter then the 50's.
in other words the first number means width, the second # is how tall they are.

[ImpalaSlayer]

mine are wider, but shorter then the 50's.

yup, second is a percentage of the first, that equals the side wall height. times that by 2 and add the rim size and you have your tire height

now that you said that, i remember i was searching one time i was bored and there is a thread that i read about the rear height adjustment. for sure about the air suspension button, i had a bad experience before on my '96 grand marquis.
thanks.

[4play]

what would that supercharger set up run me?

[LANDY]

call Dennis Reinhart. he will give you a quote.
or you can go the smartest, low budget way. EATON SWAP

[gmtech]

wait? what? i thought you wanted a silver?;)

nice rideand congrats, now lower that 4 wheel drive:lol:

[djv5150]

Nice car Landy I'm glad you found the right ride. You will have to take it down here to visit me and Phil. as long as it is not raining, I have only driven my Marauder in the rain about 7 times since I bought it new in 03 and last month after your wreck I to lost the car on a 3 lane road I was able to recover after the 360 spin with no impact but had to check my shorts when I got home, I will never take her in the rain again.:beer:

Whew, glad you recovered from that 360 spin without smacking anything, I did that once in my 95 P71 when I was 18 caught some black ice while making a left turn at an intersection. Cop told me nice recovery when he pulled me over :beer:
CONGRADS ON YOUR NEW RIDE, SC/MM, I COULDN'T DO BETTER MYSELF. Me and you both will keep them out of the rain. Especially me since i have to deal with snow in the DC area.

My office is in Alexandria Va. I only get there once or twice a year, I rented a car to get from the airport to the office once, now I hail a cab it is a different place to drive.

[cougar9150]

Damn that looks nice Landy. Definitely the right choice, can't wait to see it. Maybe in a few weeks when I go to put everything back together you can come down to have some fun.
