High miles s65 VF 540 install

MMM3PWR · 04-25-2016, 12:21 PM

Sooo I decided to put a supercharger on my extremely pampered s65 with 138k on it , runs like a beast , I highly recommend this for anyone who needs a little more power.... At first I was worried that it would be too much for a high miles engine however it is not overworked IMO and if your not tracking the car and changing the oil every 5 k I think it's a safe bet ...One aspect I like better with this kit on is that when you are easing on throttle there is way less knocking around with the extra tension added by the SC IMO ....Annnnd the extra power and torque is OK too A+++

Nice to see older cars still getting some love. Are you on the original bearings?

Why did you decide on the VF 540? Why not go to the 625 for instance? I am considering a SC is why I ask.

I got a good deal on the kit and figured I could always upgrade if my car doesn't blow up...

You feeling the need for more power yet?

I don't track the car and this is plenty power for DD

Surprised a 540 kit can smoke a Hellcat, but congrats on the win.

R-Train · 04-26-2016, 11:03 AM

Thanks MMM3PWR!

Brewrifle, what are your thoughts on the power of your 625 kit? Not enough, just right or too much?

yidgyi · 04-26-2016, 11:21 AM

Nice man. Enjoy it! I might go the SC route after 100k!

I'm a huge fan of the power it puts down for the psi that it runs at. The 650 would be nice, but the 625 felt more comfortable. I've yet to ride in a 535/540/550 air/air SC kitted car though so I'm curious how well they run.
