Are there any members near Cumberland MD, Hagerstown MD, or Pgh. PA, that would like to look at one of the Jet Tech superchargers?

If you had the supercharger in your hands you would be very impressed.



It really gets old that people who have never seen a one bad mouth it.

I have had mine for five years with nothing but GREAT service from Adam.

How many miles are on the car with the blower?
How much power did you make at how many pounds of boost?
Pictures?

Is that a pressure regulator in the Jet picture?

 

Moose102 had one in his hands. He wanted to return it but Jet would not let him. Why doesn't Adam get on here and defend his product? BTW links to pictures have been posted so we are not bad mouthing without seeing it.

Do you have any track times for your car or a dyno sheet? How about posting a signature with a run down on your car so we will know what you have?

 

118,664 miles.

The nearest AWD dyno is about three hours away, so I have not dyno'd it yet. The next time I run at Hagerstown, (just over an hour away) I believe I will be down to the high 13s at just about 100.
This is with a stock internal, 202CIOD, AWD automatic that weighs over 3500#s.
Currently I have 9PSI as the max boost, previously I was hitting 13PSI but went to a bigger SC pulley so that the stock weak ring lands stayed on the stock vacuum cast pistons.
My best guess is 350 at rhe crank. Stock is 230.
Pictures from today of my car as soon as I can upload them.

Which Jet Picture?

This one:

The head unit is about half the size of a vortech or procharger. On a built 350ci motor I doubt it would make 4 psi.

 

Moose102 had one in his hands. And according to him he smashed it onto his concrete floor on purpose after he found out he actually had to pay for something that he had bought.
He would not take a stock sbc bracket. He wanted one made to his (flawed) design.
Jet would take back an undamaged supercharger. But not if you try to scam them!

My last track time was on an almost 100f day, at 6PSI with my AFR totally rich, maxing out the wide band.
But it was 14.5 @96
Thats about two seconds quicker and 16 mph faster than most of the stock SVXi.

Signature, ok;
1992 Subaru SVX 3300cc, or 202 CID.
Jet Tech Supercharger,
self made headers 30" primaries, 2.5" collector, true duals that merge into a single 3" 18" from the back or the car
AWD 4.44 gears
Legacy Outback automatic transmission
stock internals
self ported
Outlaw Engineering phenolic spacers(set of 4)
ceramic coated intake manifold
370cc Nissan injectors
ECUTUNE chip, Stage 2V7
255 Walbro
adjustable FPR set to 30 PSI
225/45/17s
Loco Alloys
trans cooler
One range colder NGK irridium plugs
custom 7075 overdrive/underdrive crank pulley
Class Glass fiberglass hood
race weight just over 3550#s

 

???!!!
The impeller is 6.8" wide!
The scroll housing is 8.5" wide, and 3.5" deep.
It flows 1700 CFM!
It will easily push up to 18 PSI on a built 350!

 

Where is this Adam guy? He should have some specs on his product.

I didn't search for any.

 

I am still skeptical. Why? Because Jet isn't proven. I've yet to see a picture of a "Jet Technologies" product that I was impressed with. The original "hack" brackets that were posted... The "production" kit that locates the supercharger where I *seriously* doubt it fits on an f-car (and if it does fit, its a stupid decision to stick it there - but I suspect the kit was designed on impala lt1)...

Beyond that, there are also NO results for these cars. A google search finds lots of random members on boards saying "I went with Jet Technologies on my car" but they are newer members of boards that seem to lack any results or pictures - you cant find impartial results (or even results of any kind).

The hack brackets were not posted by me.
They were made by me at home to start my SC project.
Since Jet Tech does not make brackets for Subarus, I had to make my own.
They were not pretty, but they worked.
The F body fits because it was MADE for the F body.
When I get my next Jet Tech Supercharger, made for my Chevy, I will post pictures.
Since it is going on a carburated car/truck I can switch back and forth between FI and NA.
So I can run it back to back at Hagerstown for a real and tangable differance.
More later,

I am aware of this. I'm talking about the brackets I've seen since then that are shown on the website.

They are placing the head unit above the drivers side valve cover. I can see that the intake pipe crosses the intake manifold and goes into the engine on the passenger side (from the itty bitty pic). There is no room for an intercooler by placing it there - and getting a pipe around, down, out, to the intercooler, back up, around, and in... is going to be a plumbing nightmare.

And a stock LT1 over 6psi without an intercooler is a time bomb. Any car over 8psi should have an intercooler. This has no intercooler and says 7-10psi. Even if I put it on *my* engine (and pushed it to well over 1000cfm) I'd need a huge-*** intercooler - which I couldn't get on there with this setup.

I see the picture of that on the website - and again - not impressed. The pictures of the supercharger head unit do not impress me. The pictures of the compressor wheel do not impress me. Nothing impresses me. There are no results. No evidence. No long-term reliability of the unit.

The nearest AWD dyno is 3 hours away you say. Now, were it me, I would get a car dyno-tuned to make sure the tune was good and the output was correct (as to not blow up my engine - especially on a car not built for boost), but you have not done so in the time you've had it - which raises my eyebrow.

And as the sole distributor of these units, you can understand that I know it is in your best interests to make the product (and its results) as good as possible. Thus I take your praise of the units and claims of them with a grain of salt.

 

If you were smart and really looking to distribute your product and believe it was a good product with good results, you would maybe try looking for the 1st two or 3 volunteers that are willing to but up their Camaro's or T/A's as a test mule, offering the kit with a deep discount for doing so. Take install and final pics then get dyno and test results off those car's. If this kit is really what its cracked up to be, then it will sell itself after that point. Until then, nobody will give you the time of day here cause this is and F-Body board. We want to see lots of pics and results on F-Body's. Most can care less that your having success on your Subaru.

This is true. I volunteer - Its not to late to change a few things to make it accept boost. I got a LT1 sitting in my kitchen gettin ready to be built. I am a trained mechanic. Not quite ASE certified (tho scheduled to take the test Nov 13).. But I did go to school for 2 years with a 3.75GPA.. lol. :-)

 

This is a great idea, but I do not own the company.
I (as earlier stated) have been a mechanic for a long time, but I am not a Chevy expert.
And if I buy one more car, my better half becomes Lorena Bobbit if you know what I mean.
However I am about to get a T-5 for my 1983 Chevy Suburban K20 Ex Army beast.
It has a 350 4V carb with no cats.
VIN;1G8GK26M8DF111133 95,000 MILES
And other than a huge trailer hitch, its absolutely stock right now.
It has the aerodynamics of a brick, weighs more than my first house, and is PAID FOR!!!
I plan to install cheap headers, dual exhaust and the supercharger.
And then drag race it with and without the SC belt installed.
It is not a perfectly set up drag car by ANY streach of the imagination, but HP is HP, and I/We will see how much faster it gets.
If anyone is in my area, Cumberland MD, and wants to stop in, that would be great!

LOL

Not a chance in hell the jet unit will produce 18 psi on a built 350. 1700 CFM? Where did you come up with that? Manufacturers claims? Take a look at some of prochargers manufacturers claims. Come on Tom, your obviously no newby at this.
