RAPTOR SUPERCHARGER FOR LIB 3.0

[SH30RB]

How hard would it be to wind up the psi for more boost?

[Tradewind]

Extra boost.....

We can certainly discuss that option with you at time of purchase

After putting in DAYs more work than expected on the intercooler kit I know the intercooler kit pricing that I listed previously just doesnt work! This setup is a pricey piece of work, all I can say is lucky its WTA, if ATA it would never have happened, WTA is on the only system that gives us a chance to intercool the Leg/Lib without destroying the vehicle

To the one lucky person who paid for theirs already good luck to you, early bird got a VERY juicy worm


The new pricing has been now listed http://www.raptorsc.com.au/kits.php?id=58

Tim what type of air filter is provided and where does the cold air pickup suck air from? (I noticed in the photos, the stock air guide has been removed)

[Tradewind]

A 2 stage filter of our own design is provided. A dry cotton inner with an oiled Foam outer, the only system compatible with todays high precision air flow meters.

The filter element is down in the area normally occupied by the resonance box that connects to bottom of air filter box. It is only space for it and it is shielded from hot engine bay air in this area

Myself and a few mates with are looking at the kit and were wondering how many have been installed so far?

Rick

2 in AU, 1 Bulgaria, 1 Austria, 1 Russia

Being installed in next 3 weeks - 1 in Dubai and 1 in Germany

First on the shopping list should be the headers/extractors and the rest of your exhaust system - big gains there and as always a tune from XRT is vital for better tq/power numbers everywhere and sharper throttle response.

Kits on offer are non intercooled 7.5psi and Intercooled 9psi. Intercooler is WTA, ATA is not recommended not will it ever be offered.

Where on the planet are you located Rick?

[Ric]

2 in AU...

Didn't you install one in your own?
That would make 2 in Melbourne, and one in Mackay.

Ric, I don't think Tim has supercharged his Liberty yet.

[Tradewind]

Numbers in existance are reported correctly

I dont have a system on my own vehicle yet

It is my approach from the very first kit I made (Mitsubishi Lancer CE) to always fix the exhaust system first, no matter how long it takes me, measuring power gains and fault finding all part of this first step. I know better than anyone how much an exhaust contributes to the output of a supercharger installation and how it reduces heat loads on the motor as well.

As most of you know I have only just completed the headers (design, make a few sets, test for fit, test for power/tuning compatibility etc) and am offering those for everyone, not just SC users. We have the technology

Next step is to sort out a mid and rear section which is slightly sporty in note but offers good interior sound suppression, drone not acceptable. Again test and tune.

A good exhaust system may liberate in excess of 40Kw (very conservative) on a supercharged Liberty 3.0 , getting 30Kw on NA is the biggest suprise I have recieved in a while! So much on a small NA engine

Final step, install the supercharger and tune, this is the part/technology I know so well so I leave it last as it offers no challenge in particular, especially as it is already performing well on customer cars

I am over in the West and it get pretty hot over here. So I take it that no intercooler testing yet?

Rick

You in Perth or way north?

[my07_liberty]

Perth at the moment.

[Tradewind]

Perth has a few hot weeks every year otherwise through Autumn, Winter & Spring the temps are down, especially once the Freemantle doctor kicks in

You could use either system in Perth, cooled or uncooled.

[my07_liberty]

So what max. temps do you recommend for a non IC system?
