How Difficult Is It To Install A Supercharger On An Escape?
18 November 2009 | 2 Comments » | adminMy wife & I are buying a 2006 V6 Escape next year and I want to give it more power. I found a supercharger kit and I need to know if I need a degree from ITT tech to install it. My cousin is an experienced mechanic but he has never installed a supercharger. Here is the kit I’m referring to… http://kennebell.net/superchargers/ford/…
Supercharger tuning through cam timing and cam selection
18 November 2009 | No Comments » | adminCamshaft tuning is an essential part of supercharger tuning. Camshafts orchestrate the valve opening and closing events in the engine and decide whether what comes out of our motor is beautiful high power music, or a mess of dysphonics.
The use of the proper supercharger optimized cam shaft can go a long way towards
Utilizing Nitrous Oxide to Boost Your Supercharger Performance
17 November 2009 | No Comments » | adminThere comes a point in your power buildup where you may consider adding nitrous oxide injection to your supercharged car. This point typically coincides with reaching a level of performance that means increased investment and diminishing returns from your supercharger. For example, my car comes from the factory with a 5th generation Eaton MP45 supercharger. This supercharger is limited to about 230hp worth of flow rating and so no matter what I do with bolt-on upgrades on my engine, my peak horsepower will not exceed 230hp limit because that is the point at which the supercharger becomes the bottle neck in my system.
As we’ve talked about in previous articles there is still the option of porting the factory supercharger for a 10 to 15% gain in capacity (which in this case would be another 23 to 35 horsepower). There is also the option of retrofitting a larger supercharger such as the Eaton M62 to gain potential up to over 300hp depending on the final choice of a supercharger.
This modification path (porting or replacing the factory supercharger) can prove to be complex and costly, especially if the supercharger is integrated into the intake manifold (and possibly an air to water intercooler) as the case is with many factory supercharged cars.
A possible viable solution for this situation is to use nitrous oxide injection to supplement the power delivery when racing, and being satisfied with a reliable lower powered car when the nitrous is off and we’re not racing.
The reason why nitrous oxide (N2O) becomes a great power adder is twofold:
1- Nitrous is cheap as far as horsepower per dollar goes, and especially in the situations where we’re already supercharged and so will only be using it on the rare occasions when we do hit the track.
2- Nitrous oxide is a great ‘chiller’ as it comes out of the bottle at a temperature of negative 127*F

Machine Head Supercharger Rock Music CD Review
14 November 2009 | No Comments » | adminThe exceptionally talented Rock group Machine Head have released their CD entitled Supercharger. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Machine Head fans, and Rock fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of Supercharger their artistic excellence is on full display as they have once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be their best work to date.
I wish it weren?t the case but, it?s not everyday that I get a CD for review that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can?t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Supercharger. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.
One of the refreshingly nice things about this CD is the way all of the participating artists seem to be really enjoying themselves. Combine that with the overall presentation and you?ve got one of Machine Head most impressive releases ever.
Overall Supercharger is an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up and is most definitely a worthy addition to any Rock collection. Truly an outstanding Rock CD. One of those that is completely void of any wasted time, as each track is simply superb.
While the entire album is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 4 – Crashing Around You, track 5 – Kick You When You’re Down, and track 14 – Supercharger.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – Declaration. Good stuff!
