hey guys woundering if anyone can help me im looking to purchase a paxton super charger for my rx7 and so far have been unable to find a company that still sells these??

anyone out there selling one? or know of a company that still do?

 

No, they haven't been made in years. There are periodically ones that pop up used, though.

 

Camden makes Superchargers for the FC..3,299 bucks..I think..(www.atkinsrotary.com) .See what Mike Merryguy has from *Touch*,and if there is a Sticker on his Charger that he can get info off of..(see *Touch*'s old For Sale thread..Supercharger for sale.)

 

Yes, atkins does sell supercharger kits that are made by camden. The paxton ones haven't been sold for years.

 

The camden one sucks.

 

Why? Can you explain?

 

I can get some info off of it, but not for like a month though, I think you can get a paxton still but not a SN89 HO, I was googling around the internet and found some paxtons for sale, you will not find a KIT for the FC though but from the looks of the parts you can source them and piece together a kit yourself. if you search for post by *TOUCH* or search for PAXTON you will find alot on this forum and *TOUCH* has an excel sheet on here somewhere that I have on my desktop at home with a list of basic parts you need.

I can't wait to install mine and go play, the n/a is fast w/out any upgrades, I love to get high revs and hit my little 146 hp, I am hoping to get around 250 or so once I get it all upgraded which will be really nice, but that is a pretty high number to go for, we will see what happens, hopefully my tuner has a good dyno and I can get some good pulls to see what I have...

 

your not gonna like and be pissed you spent all the time and money not going turbo.

 

i don't want turbo... there are a million turbos on the road, i am more of a one of a kind kinda guy, and i know its not one of a kind there are many fc's that have a s/c but each one is unique in its own way.. i am not sure anyone has used a water/air ic setup so i may be ther first to try that out and i am going to do it the correct way all the way so it should be a decent setup with nice low end power.. the n/a has decent top end anyway so i just want something to help get me there faster, now this kit isn't totaly designed for low end but it will help out, i plan on getting an fd later on in life so i will have plenty of fun with a turbo then, plus my father in law has a 94 r2 that i can drive anytime i like so its all good

 

BTW, you will be like the thousandth person to use a air/water IC. I agree though, be unique and SC that thing. The whine sound is sweet

 

its 2500$ for 20-30hp, the 12in charger has very little gains over the 9in one you can do a full turbo motor swap for less and have more power.

 

i don't think a thousand people even have a paxton so no, I don't think that your guestamation is correct.

I meant most people with a supercharger go with water injection or no
intercooling whatsoever

i am sure there are well into the BILLIONS of people that have used water ic..

man where u get your statistics anyway??

but yea individuality is key my friend can't agree with you more there

 

you know, 190HP is 100% doable with a stand alone ecu, and a good exhaust + great tune.

 

Supercharger, the expensive way to make 230hp.

 

Technically it blows.

A centrifugal supercharger like the Paxton is designed for the high end, not the low end. Ironically, a turbocharger will boost faster than a centrifugal supercharger. The main advantage of a centrifugal supercharger is that it gradually boosts as the engine rpm increases which eliminates the laggy feel and the sudden boost of a turbo, which helps on slick roads or during precision driving like autocrossing. If you were looking for something like a Roots blower that will add a lot of torque to the low end and/or win drag races, you will be sadly disappointed in the Paxton.

 

yea i know how it works

now obviously it is going to increase top end, but it will STILL provide SOME boost at low end wich IS an upgrade considering its N/A now...

 

My 2 cents.....

I have a '90 vert with this supercharger kit.
I bought the car from pianoprodigy, he posted the following -

So the SC works, but it is no comparison to a single turbo setup.
I plan on replacing the SC with a turbo at some point in the future.

 

I've Always been drawn to a SC setup, go do if ya want. You should probably wait till the engine blows so you can go ahead and port it out too, I mean mega port. If you're going to carb it, go with a peripheral port, a big carb and enjoy the ride! That really takes the DDability out of it though...
