It's a 1.3L blower vs the 1.0L blower that came from factory.

Rebel had one in the works but it never really worked out for em. So I believe the idea is a flop. So far the Harrop HTV 1320 TVS is the best blower swap for the car.

There was an attempt a while back to piece together a kit using a lysholm 1200ax.
I can't see why someone couldn't get a custom kit made up by their local speed shop though.

The problem is there is not a huge demand. Harrop stepped up to the plate and did close to if not over a year of R&D to develop the TVS 1320 for the LSJ. people were all hyped up about it and all these sales were 'promised' by users on here and once it was released, "it's too expensive" was the whole excuse and sales just completely flopped.
Now with there being more buyers, everybody is getting discouraged with it because they slap it on and automatically expect over 300 to the wheels when that's not the case. I sat ~280 on a mid 11's AFR and 17* of timing with the 3.1. I'm not a little over 300 with the 3.1 but I am running meth and6-11.8 AFR, 22* of timing. It takes a little bit of patience but persistance pays off with the TVS.

no don't listen to any of these ppl..when someone is telling you you should get a tvs they mean you should have some total vaginal sex cause obviously ur all uptight about getting a turbo so its just to relax u
