Recently, I stumbled on this supercharger for sale. It was a really good price, and brand new, so I bought it. Now, here's the problem: I don't know anything about it, or even superchargers in general. It is marked Ogura Clutch, Model TX28G. I know the manufacturer has discontinued it. What I'd like to know is:

1.) Can I use this in my 03 OZ?
2.) If so, what other parts will I need?
3.) Besides those parts, what other factors do I need to consider?
4.) What am I looking at, costwise, for installation.

I'm not interested in the debate between turbo and superchargers, I know all the arguments. But like I said, it was a really good deal, and I couldn't passit up. Worse case scenario is I'm out the money, which isn't so bad. So I need some help. Any advice is appreciated. If you need pics, or other information about it, let me know. Thanks

 

Good luck bro. Theres a few heads on here with some knowledge in that area. Hopefully they'll post and try to help you out.

 

Thanks. I thought this would be the place to find out. Although I don't post much, I'm here several times a week. I just find my answers by searching.

 

get in touch with RIPP mods, they are the only guys who made a supercharger kit for our cars. They may be able to help you out and sell you any extra parts you need

 

ok so you saw a supercharger at at good price...........and you bought it..........not knowing if it is going to work with your car........................

good luck.

 

Pics will be the best help. We need to know what kind of input shaft it has.

This is probably gonna require alot of time, custom fab, and $$$. You might have gotten the supercharger at a good deal but the cost of installation and the parts that your gonna require is going to offset that gain by a lot.

 

brainz or lack there of j/k..... in the future... make sure what youre buying for you car is ACTUALLY for your car... saves you a lot of headaches....

Hey sorry to tell you but,, supercharging our cars requires lots of fabrication. I think u should go turbo!!

 

So u bought a SC but u are out of money wich "isn't so bad". I don't get it.

 

Pic?

 

Thanks for the responses. A couple things:

1.) I know that this situation isn't ideal. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't have bought it without knowing what I need. But I'm a gambler, and I'm taking a chance.

2.) For those asking about cost, consider this: I paid less than a piggyback or an intercooler. AND I figure since it's new, if I can't use it, I'll sell it to someone who can, no big deal.

EVOfunk, I said i would be out of the money, not out of money.

3.) Crypto, Not a bad idea about going to RIPP, they installed an SC in my buddy's Camry a few years back

Here's some pics:

 

brains im sure it will work out... just depends on how deep your pockets are?

 

Well, that isn't a real concern. I haven't spent so much oney on the thing that I'm stuck with installing it. Once I have an idea of what I'm facing, I'll either decide to go forward, sell it, or just eat the couple hundred I paid and have another funny story to tell...

 

well maybe you got some brains after all guy.... good luck! it should work..

 

I SAW ONE OF these used on an 87 vw golf, and it wasnt even efi, it was mechanically fuel injected and he had it running over 200hp to the wheel with stock internals, wish i could find the sight, big project but basically a plate to close the bottom off, a new fuel dizzy, a couple brackets and pulleys to turn the pulley, and some tubing to route into the mani. pretty cool and goes to show with enough research and determination you can do whatever, actually it was a little eaton m45 or 42 or something, but a positive displacement supercharger none the less. good luck in your project. hope to see video and audio of a lancer with a whine.

what are you gona do about hood clearance?
