- A blower pressure gauge is supplied.
- The throttle body is removed and a crossover pipe fitted between the blower and stock manifold.
- No blow-off valve is supplied or found to be necessary.
- All mounting brackets are suppled and a belt tensioner is built into one of the mounting brackets.
- A supplied manifold bolts to the blower and allows the stock throttle body to be bolted directly onto it along with the stock air flow meter as well as a supplied cable bracket and a supplied air cleaner.
- Fitting instructions are supplied.
They have been testing the kit on a VL Nissan and everything has proven 100% reliable and dyno runs have been performed with the below results (see graph to left). On a totally stock motor with only the decompression plate fitted an 80kw reading went to 110kw with no computer modifications. No other modifications have been tested.
The kits come 100% complete and will cost approximately $1800.00. AUD
