Talking RPW has blowers!!!

Lancer / Mirage Supercharger systems available from $6000.00 + GST
RPW Service Centre is also developing our own Supercharger kits for the Mitsubishi 3.5 Litre V6 Range. Details are still being organized but the development of a 220kw V6 Magna is on the boards with a standard motor with mild camshafts, Unichip computer, RPW High flowed injectors, Autodyne Supercharger, RPW O/Size throttle body, K&N Rampod, RPW Extractors and good exhaust system.

Anyone interested contact RPW. We are looking for three local (Perth) test vehicles to help cover development costs - these vehicles will obviously have these kits fitted at cheaper prices than normal. Expected prices are approximately $7000.00 fitted for the above systems.

Found this on rpw's site today. You gotta be friggin' kidding me!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is this a great world we live in or what!!!!!

Wouldn't you rather a Turbo for 4.5K ? 7 g's is kinda high....

EDIT: But if it is coming with all the internal/external mods, I change my decision to a "maybe"

Not only that but Mitsiman (Dave) from RPW has said that superchargers are better suited to 6 cylinder engines such as this one you quoted not our engines.

RPW has always had superchargers but they aren't the biggest fan of them on 4 bangers. Not enough power overall to get the thing rollin' around efficiently. Personally, I'm fan of supercharging but the relative ease through which someone could put a turbo on this car and then work their way up the boost ladder, turbocharging is more attractive. I'm definitely interested in the RIPP kit after seeing their work on the V6 3G's. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...ht=turbo+super <---Even with its sloppiness, it's a decent read on the subject.
