Does anyone have a Supercharged KLZE? And is it better as a daily driver, than a turbo setup?

mazdamaniac had a supercharged KL-DE not a ZE, and he switched to a turbo setup.

Yeah, I seen his site. But no one has a Supercharged KLZE yet? Isn't it suppose to be better than a turbo setup, as a daily driver?

This is not a rule... a perfect small turbo setup would be better imho. Everything is up to tuning.

i have a supercharged ZE. have had one for about 8 months now. i run a full stand alone fuel management, msd ignition with blaster coil, fuel riser, braided lines...and lots of other good stuff. i use a huge powerdyne bd 10 blower and custom drive system. i blower has been built inside to flow more air. i would post pics but i am not to great with that sort of thing.i can send them to some one if they wanted to post them for me. due to the volume of gas needed to drive it isnt much of a daily driver. in fact, i only drive it about 1 or 2 months a year now. mail me or wright if you have questions.
thanx

a charger is better for one improtant reason, you can make more power with less boost. these V6 motors are "torque lovers" and there is less waiting for boost. in other words the power is always there, or so i have experienced.

I'm interested in how you built the custom drive system and what you are doing to reduce the heat in the engine bay.

I want pics!!

sky blue-email them to me at Aaronm@aciteam.com. I'll post them. I'm intersted in your pully system. to run the belts...and how type of charger do you have.

i will send you pics later on today or tonight. i dont have any close up pics of the drive system yet but i have some good shots of the rest. the drive system is from thomas knight but i found that it realy bits and has nothing but problems. so i had it rebuilt with roller bairings and a 300M shaft, all aluminum and custom pullies and a bunch other stuff. i will send you some stuff in mail man.
thanx

Yeah, I'd like to see some pics too!
If you don't mind, how much did you invest in this project, including the KLZE? Just want to know if it will be cheaper than a turbo setup???

the pics will be up soon, nothing very good of the drive system now but i will try to get some soon. the blower i use is HUGE!! it is just legal and makes insane power, built to 18 psi internally. the prob. with charges is that you can only use so much boost before belts start slippeng, but that is not usually untill 12+ psi. that is when you get into chains and cogged belts and.....well headaches.

here are the pics of Sky blue system...really nice set up. <img src="http://images.cardomain.com/member_imag ... 5_full.jpg" alt=" - " />
