thinking of installing a sc12 or 14 supercharger on the lux. what are the pros and cons, how easy to install and what would i have to do as in mounts pulleys etc or could it just be hooked up to a/c pulley.

cheers jono

Is that your red one by firestone? Looks high mate.

Bulletproof has a good set up but why superchager or turbo? Turbo is a bolt on set up

turbo is a cheaper and easier option

theres a few that have done.
making brackets is a pain, not sure what pulleys they used and they all seam to have trouble with belts.
intercooling is a must.

only advantage over the turbo is grunt off the line. great for 4x4, not so good on the road.

yeah it is mate, wanted to do supercharger as its something different down here. i know turbo is easier option as i did this with the saf. if i can track done manifold etc of the 2.4 turbo then i will do this.the truck does a bit of towing and carrying loads of eels, so maybe turbo be the best option
