Glad to see this kit is coming together. I remember hearing about the project awhile back, and then nothing for a few months. I was beginning to think it had been abandoned. Revolution Autoworks is based here in Tampa correct?

Wanted to update this for those who care. The supercharged specV saw dyno tuning the other day...
Procharger sent the wrong size pulley, so they were only able to run at 3.7psi.
229.4whp and 200.92wtq. @ 3.7psi.
They were hitting 175wtq @3k rpms. Torque maxes out around 5300rpms where it then drops as the secondaries open. HP is a steady climb, from start to finish. I'm pretty impressed with their job so far, and am excited to see what they can do with the proper sized pulley.
They are compiling a new video of the car in action, for now we have this-

Impressed actually, After they did all the engineering for this kit, they couldn't get the right pulley on..
But still at 3.7psi, thats not bad boost over the stock 148 those things put to the wheels! thats about 21.9 whp per 1psi...I really would have expected to see more torque though...odd.

Im anxious to see a dyno sheet when the setup is finished.

Dyno. This is being posted to show how well the superchargers powerband mimics the stock SE-R's. Smooth. I can't wait to see the #'s with the correct sized pulley. With only 3.7psi, the gains were so impressive IMO.
THIS IS ON THE SMALLER PULLEY THAT WILL NOT BE USED IN THE PRODUCTION KITS. ALSO, RUNS WERE DONE IN 5TH GEAR NOT 4TH.

why am I not suprised that Chimmike is talking shyt about this kit? Maybe I'm just defensive since I designed the kit for Revolution Autoworks. The reasons why it took so long to get released are complicated. If you are really interested PM me...
A couple of notes about the kit. The reason why we got the wrong pulley was that the supplier we got the head unit from said they could get any size pulley that we wanted, when in reality ProCharger will only ship the head unit with a 4 psi pulley. We did the math and figured out what size it needed to be and the guys in Michigan never measured it after it arrived. It is an additional charge for the smaller pulley (oh well...we know now). The DFMU in the picture is no longer being used, fueling is now being handled by 440cc WRX injectors and a S-AFC2. Fianl numbers should be roughly 260whp/250wtq
Nothing groundbreaking but, rather another alternative to the neglected SpecV market.
