Supercharge 2.2 Questions
I've been debating on supercharging my car. I was going to use the eaton m62 supercharger. Before I buy anything though:
Is it safe to do?
Who does this best tune for this set up?
What if my car is an automatic?
What else would I need besides all the supercharger stuff?
How much psi can I do safely on stock internals?
How much would everything cost me?
EDIT: Adding this question. I have seen debate on whats a safe air/fuel ratio number that I've seen on widebands?

Is it safe to do?yes
Who does this best tune for this set up?trifecta
What if my car is an automatic?Supercharging is great if your an auto,auto tranny holds up really well.
What else would I need besides all the supercharger stuff?wideband,option b kit
How much psi can I do safely on stock internals?I forget what I pushed..maybe 16 on a good day
How much would everything cost me?Around $2000
EDIT: Adding this question. I have seen debate on whats a safe air/fuel ratio number that I've seen on widebands? Vince at trifecta will do all that stuff on the tune. He'll let you know what the safe a/f ratio is.

I've been debating on supercharging my car. I was going to use the eaton m62 supercharger. Before I buy anything though:
Is it safe to do?yes if it is installed right
Who does this best tune for this set up?Trifecta
What if my car is an automatic?tuning is alittle differnt but thats it from what i understand
What else would I need besides all the supercharger stuff?93 octane, and i would recomend a wideband but its not nessesary
How much psi can I do safely on stock internals?PSI doent really matter ive seen 18 on a stock 2.2, but 250 hp is the rating on the stock internals
How much would everything cost me?depends on where you get it, im selling my full kit for 1400 then you need a tune with will cost you 200 or so
EDIT: Adding this question. I have seen debate on whats a safe air/fuel ratio number that I've seen on widebands?not sure i never had a wide band on mine

Trifecta? Best tune? Come on guys, Trifecta is a mail order tune its never going to be a good tune. It may be an ok safe tune, but never a good tune. The only way to get a tune is with the tuner sitting in the passenger seat (or drivers seat if you self tune) and the only way to get a great tune is on a dyno.
And btw its not boost its power that is the limit on the stock engine. Stock internals will take 250 wheel which ends up being full exhaust, good tune, and 2.9" or 2.8" pulley. I make about 13 psi with the 2.8" pulley, 14 psi when its really cold outside for reference.

You're joking right? Unless vince is sitting next to you. A tine from him is mail order. Its not canned though because he does modify it for you car after he gets a data log. But its still not as good as an in person tune and even he admits that.

Its still not as good a Vince or any good tuner in person. I was trying to find a dyno comparison (I know it was done) but my google fu is weak today. But even without it, look at the lnf guys, big power is coming from tuning over a trifecta tune with hp tuners and only using the trifecta tune for the tables bpt hasnt unlocked yet.

HPT will work on 07 and up L61 but has to have a stock tune on it for Hpt to connect to the VCM.I can't really put the stock tune on it then drive it so until someone can come to my house and flash it back to stock and then tune it via HPT then Vince and trifecta will do.There not bad tunes its just a process to get it finalized since he's packed with customers.Just takes time is all.
