Interest in Supercharger setup

Blackcoog · 08-31-2006, 09:58 AM

After working with this TK supercharger I have a lot of ideas and improvements for the system so I was thinking about putting together my own kit or offering upgrades. I came up with a few ideas for a better bracket made out of better materials, incorporating a tensioner and maybe a few custom pulleys for different boost levels. Coolant tank and piping options might be a possibility. Then if possible the compressor could be picked up from Mr. Knight or if I can figure out how to make them I'll include them. The powerdyne unit on that other Cougar might also be a good option. There might not be much interest so I figured I'd post it up and ask. I understand the TK kit is a prototype kit and needs work but it just hasn't been up to par as you may have noticed. Let me know what you think. I don't have any ideas on pricing yet but I can work on it.

I'll give you 27.34 for a kit

streetfamemlf · 08-31-2006, 06:40 PM

Well it is def. is a good idea for people that want to buy the kit from mr. knight, from experience it would have been nice for everything to be included in the kit. BTW Blackcoog can you give me the dimensions for that tank i wanna see if i can get one made completely from stratch instead of buying the WR tank. Also I think if you offer this alot more s/c kits will be sold since everything will be bolt up and go.

A true bolt on kit, that is even better quality, sign me up. Of course it depends on price. I have been seriously considering some F/I, but I would not be in any condition to drop that kind of cash until the spring. I'm about tapped out for this year.

Sounds like a plan. Every since the beginning of the TK kit and his "I know my product works" mentalitly

i have been like Uhhhhh.

I wouldnt mind a well put together kit since I am looking for FI soon. I'll support any ideas you may have.

edean37 · 08-31-2006, 07:17 PM

id also be intrested in a direct bolt on kit....i have to make this atx 3L a little faster.....ill help in any way that i can ....

heck you can even send me the first prototype kit for free and ill try it out for ya lol

wadespencer99 · 08-31-2006, 07:20 PM

So we'd buy the TK kit, plus an upgrade kit from you? Or you want to basically become a dealer for the TK kit, and add your own stuff?

I'd be interested in seeing a price and comparing it with the pros/cons/price of doing a turbo. I'm not interested at this minute, but I'm sure my Cougar will be boosted at some point...I just don't know which route I will want to go.

Blackcoog · 08-31-2006, 07:55 PM

I'm meeting with a engineering firm tomorrow to go over a few things. I'll let you know how it goes. I'm aiming more for a new kit than just upgrades to the TK kit.

GrandMasterKhan · 08-31-2006, 10:25 PM

So is this kit in its stock 2.5L form even capable of working properly?

BigBalledOX · 08-31-2006, 10:45 PM

You doubt the great Thomas Knight, Kenny?

Blackcoog, depending on what you can put together, I'd be potentially interested.
