Re: Thomas Knight Supercharger Kit, Eaton M90, 3000gt

How does a supercharger "use" 1-2 psi? The engine doesn't produce positive manifold pressure NA, and the supercharger is belt driven, so how can it "use" anything? It should take 5-15 hp away from the parasitic drag on the crank, but that's different. Sounds like he doesn't even know what he's talking about if he told you that. And the insanely high VE for a stock 3S motor? Hahahaha.

The only good thing about Thomas Knight Turbos is the fish he has in his magazine ads.

I saw that turbo Shane mentioned, scary stuff. I've also read the "tech" articles when his electric supercharger was featured in some car rag. Three starters hooked up via gearing to drive a tiny supercharger. Plus you had to add a bunch of batteries in the trunk. Those kits were something like $4500 when they came out, the last time I saw them advertised, they were under $2500. Tells you very few bought that stuff.

Sorry to hear either of you got messed up with the this clown's products. Pull that stuff off and sell it to some fool on Tuners or Ebay, then whip up a nice turbo kit with a few 14b's.
