Up to 6 cylinders, includes software, usb connector, and piggy-back FIC ecu controller..all you would need, is to purchase a wiring harness and get a tune.

sikvibe

Supercharger sold. AEM FIC 6 now up for sale asking $150 shipped.

sikvibe

Could not have said it better myself, thanks salsa!

sikvibe

Steven, If your speaking of the AEM piggy-back ECU the answer is yes, unless it sells with the S/C

hotbug, I fabricated it myself using a 1/2" rubber stopper plug and a 1/8" of plate steel, very easy to make just used a saw and a drill press..oh, and a grinder to round of the edges.

sikvibe

I'm selling my TRD S/C as I will be selling my car or parting it out if it does not sell..going to get back into a jeep, here it is: http://www.ebay.com/itm/171043824625?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; thanks for lookin...

Oh, my bad keith's quote "I like your spacer for the Supercharger LOL" you can find it over in the 2.5" flo pro install..I see how I could have miss taken that...

yeah, bravo keef, you da man! you totally got me, way to be all you can be...

sikvibe

Yeah, I would take it back to the tranny shop..I had a saturn that started doing that and I ended up loosing 3rd and reverse not fun...

sikvibe

I can still pull 28 mpg's if i stay off the throttle..before I started modding I was getting 32 though...

sikvibe

Thanks for all of the helpful feedback you guys, after learning about how wimpy the awd is..the rwd coversion would be my only viable option for big power gains..I think I will try to get this fwd thing down first...

sikvibe

Are you sure because my exhaust currently resides in what looks like a perfect channel for a driveline??

sikvibe

Your mechanical knowledge or lack thereof, is really depressing keefer..save your 2 cents for the peanut gallery, just so you know when some one does something new and inovative it's sick and when some body messes up we'll call it a keefer...

sikvibe

You are the mechanical authority keith, what mods are on your car? Oh, thats right, all show and no go...keithvibe vibe of the year..ha!

sikvibe

Yeap, it would be super easy, just a matter of switching transmissions and adding driveline, rear diff, and rear drive parts..has anyone ever done it?

sikvibe

Hey Robo what up!? I'm actually working on the same deal with my vibe, but like you I need to rebuild the motor first and that won't happen until fall..until then I'm trying to draw up plans using the stock s/c is possible, actually with thought into it anything is possible, check out some of my pho...

sikvibe

Has any one converted the front wheel drive to the awd? After having some pretty bad wheel hop at the dragway this weekend im looking for more traction..does anyone know what hp its good for?

sikvibe

It's a little loader than I prefer, no power robbing res, but when I had it at the dragway it all made sense, it ripped and wasn't very load compared to most of the other cars there..you like that huh!? haha, cooled my egt temps by 50 degrees.

sikvibe

I went to the local drag way this weekend and experienced massive wheel hop whenever I tried to get a decent launch..My best times were only when i took off slowly at low rpm, getting into the low 16's. I was thinking about raising the rear end with spacers or even putting the smaller overall diamet...

sikvibe

Had a friend of mine install a 2.5 inch flo pro on my vibe last week..It went pretty smooth and I opted for the opposite exhaust exit from stock because my egt temps were reading a little high and wanted to get the hot exhaust out a lil more quickly..Increasing the flow decreased the temps by 150 de...

sikvibe

I used my old plastic intake to make a nice little spacer between the s/c and the engine block..I was looking for a thermal gasket such as the one that hondata sells, but they only make it for the 2zz..So after hacking it off with a saw, It cost me $20 bucks to get it machined down to .5 inch at a b...

sikvibe

I love my new water injection system, It feels like a little 25 shot of nitrous when it kicks on..Still only got into the 16's at the dragway, I had major wheel hop issues off the line which really killed my launches...

sikvibe

I had my buddy run 2.5 all the way back from behind the first cat and had a pro flow muffler installed..It only cost me $240 installed and runs great it does take a lil getting used to since its much louder now..I'm starting to get used to it, I think thats what he meant when he said it would get qu...

sikvibe

Niiice, thanks guys, setting mine at 6-7 psi because im already at 5psi @ 1800rpm with the 1.9 inch pulley..anyone heard of running smaller pulley?

sikvibe

The 3.0l mercedes belt works great!

sikvibe

I'm getting 15-20 psi at idle, and all the way up to 75psi at speed, does anyone else have any numbers?

sikvibe

Superchargers have better driveabilityMore low end pep and more linear powerTurbos have more top end power but less control over it..also turbos are not parasites like supers and tend to give better mpg's

sikvibe

I'm installing a 150psi water injection system on my vibe..I'm trying to decide whether I should install a 5 gallon tank in the back or just run it off of the windsheild washer tank? So, I guess my question is how quickly can/does it use water? I'm using a 530cc nozzle if that helps...

sikvibe

Wondering if anyone has the part number for the smaller serpintine belt there using that would fit the 1.9 inch pulley?

sikvibe

An oil gauge might help, to see what your running at, I just installed a sunpro from autozone for $45 with tee fitting from ace.

sikvibe

I was looking for some help on a nice big poster sized signature..anything that resembles a rocket ship flying over the moon alice..haha, seriously though having trouble fitting one in there??

sikvibe

I'm getting about 28 around town if I stay off the pedal and I was getting 32 before the oversized rims/tires and supercharger install.

sikvibe

How yeah, where and for how much are you gettin the header/exhaust for/from??

sikvibe

I agree, what size exhaust are you planning? Also what all have you done to your vibe? Before and after EGT's would also be interesting to know...

sikvibe

I might be able to get you an exploded view of my motor after I go down to a 1.9" pulley later this week.

sikvibe

Northvibe what school of engineering did you study? I put the factory supercharger on my 230k mile 1.8L and it still starts up every day just as it always did, runs like a top even!The 2.3 mazda's even throw turbo's on exactly the same motors that are n/a, 13psi is the known max you would want to ru...

sikvibe

I love my S-techs and I haven't scrapped anywhere the drop was only 1.5" It's really not that dramatic, but the difference in handling is.

sikvibe

I searched but came up empty, you could always take the TB gasket to a machine shop and have them fab one out of aluminium, then go to your local hardware for longer bolts.

sikvibe

Yeah The guys over at the MO site say there getting about 9psi of slowness with a 1.9" pulley. I found one at pulley boys for $75 The only problem is they won't respond to my emails..I also read in tuner mag this month that 13 psi is the holly grail that everyone agrees on for max boost on a st...

sikvibe

Hey rider, You should do yourself a favor and skip these add-on's and save the money towards a forced induction system. I speak from personal experience and even with the ecu chip, c.a.i., and t.b. spacer your not going to feel the difference. If you wait and save for a super or turbocharger then th...

sikvibe

Yes, it actually feels a little stiffer and more responsive..the pieces vary depending on thickness but look to spend between 10 and 20..I've driven it hard for over a week now and it has not flexed or bent at all..I'm thinking about doing a motor strut next.

sikvibe

Check out the strut bar I made on the cheap over the weekend.http://www.flickr.com/photos/4...eview

sikvibe

I decided to duct down to the lower fairing and just throw in a k&n panel filter replacement..using 2" black cpvc to a 10X3" box on the drivers side lower grill...

sikvibe

Cool, thanks, I will check there...

sikvibe

Yeah, the trd supercharger comes with the 2.4" I looked around and the smallest I could find was 2.0, but I'm looking to at least double the boost, so I'm not sure if that would do it..anybody have experience with this?

sikvibe

I was getting the same dtc and had to replace cat #1..I found a guy to do it for me for $200 out the door..upgrading the exhaust isnt worth the money unless your running boost or some other major modifications.

sikvibe

What is the smallest pulley anyone has heard of being used on the trd supercharger for the 1.8L? I'm thinking about having a custom one made out of billet aluminum at the tiny size of 1.4" or 1.2" and then having the idler upsized one inch..just trying to double my boost.

sikvibe

I am currently shopping for my open cone type aftermarket filter and am also looking at plumbing a full custom cool air intake to lower the temps on my supercharger..I should have a post as soon as next month ;o)

sikvibe

I would look at investing in the air fuel gauge and the egt gauge before you start modding to heavily..these are two of the most important in my mind and it is vital to the life of your engine to have these under strict supervision.
