Heya Guys,

I haven't been on in quite a while due too moving and such.

But I was curious, What kind of nodifications would be needed too Install This Supercharger( http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/COBALT-E ... ccessories) on a 99 Leganza.

Thanks In advance.

To mount it you're gonna need a custom intake manifold. and the right length belt. To get fueling right you're best option is to run a piggy back computer which can control the fuel and spark. Some say you can get away with just a rising rate fuel pressure regulator but I don't really like that route because they do not offer enough control for the fuel imo.

That's the basic stuff...but there's more...if you want more info let us know...

You would need to modify the plenum chamber as the intake would be reversed... Oh i just realised Jimmy already said that

Interesting, So, not including the supercharger about how much will this cost to do? (The right way, with a piggy back)

Thanks for the help guys, I found a site that makes custom belts too any dimension you request for around $50 shipped.

You're probably gonna be looking at around 2,000 (if you do alot of the work yourself) by the time you have a custom intake made...get a good piggyback...get someone to tune it right...and get all the little pieces of the puzzle solved...you also need to consider what psi the supercharger will make cause if it makes too much you're gonna need stronger pistons and such.

That's just my guess though and if you want a real idea of the price then call a few shops or performance oriented mechanics in your area and tell them what you want to do...they should be able to tell you about what the average job costs and you can go from there.

You would probably be better off going with a turbo setup but either can be done...but turbo's been done before so you'd have more resources to pull from to help you build it.

Supercharger's been done before too, look at the Howler Lanos

I know it's been done...that car was actually my inspiration to keep my lanos and "fix it up". But that's a lanos and he's got a leganza and it's very hard to find any details of that build other than that it was done. What I'm saying is that we have members here who have done the turbo build and can help him more than if he does the supercharger route.
