The Cost without Install

[Marauder2005]

Hello, I was curious to know how many of you
ordered superchargers and had them installed locally/or yourself.
I really want to SC my 03 (once warrenty is up)
but I live her in MA. and have no plans on shipping it.
I would like to know the cost (if possible) without install.
Yea, I did a search but did not see any prices w/ out
install. Thanks guys
-Mike

[Marauderman]

You haven't looked too hard---look at Reinhart Automotive Forum--he just recently posted updates with his price----and that is w/o install---so give him a call---PM or e-mail--he will set you straight--------Tom

[MM03MOK]

Other than a promotion Reinhart had in the very beginning, all prices for SC's do not include install. Marauder8 (Hyannis) will be doing my install in the Spring.

Vortech = $5,895.00 plus shipping /Reinhart is workin on a cheaper kit @ $4,400.00
Trilogy = $5,995.00
Procharger = $4,950.00
Usually install prices are 1k..
These prices may not be correct Please correct if wrong..

There must be competant shops up there, Mike. Self installing a blower on an exotic high dollar, ultra sophisticated high compression engine is not a job for the faint of heart. I have a saying about learning lessons: FIRST TIME, EVERY TIME. Thing is, you can smoke $7,000 worth of motor in less time than it takes to read this. I know some guys have, but I'd never try it. :twocents:

If you would like to take a Trilogy powered car for a spin let me know this spring/summer once the roads are clean.;)

[maraudernkc]

The Procharger kit is $4950.00 and is under $500.00 to Install.
Thanks, Greg

I cant speak Drool is pooring from my mouth. There is one
thing I've got to know. Does it spin-em from a dead stop
"romp" of the pedal. :coolman: :) :D

Also Ive got a bone stock MM (w/ exception) of JLT.
What do you S/C guys get for RWHP. I know its been
discussed before but Hell it gives me goose bumps talking about it.
:D

I was hoping you would laugh ... :up:

[04MEMA]

More power is awesome in any flavor - here's what a Trilogy did for my car (see pics). Smoking the tires is effortless now. The car pulls fantastically at any speed (that I've had the nerve to approach). I like the roots blower because you don't have to rev the engine much to get that locomotive torque. If you're on the highway doing 65 you can give maybe 1/8 of throttle more and you'll quickly be doing 85 just using that low end torque. No drama at all - just pure power.

The Trilogy kit absolutely transformed the stock car. I loved this car when I bought it, but now it's out of hand! It is so sweet. I'm thrilled everytime I drive it. I get that kid on christmas morning sensation all the time!

I recommend getting rides in cars with each type of system to compare, then make a fully informed decision. I didn't do that myself - I only rode in a Trilogy car, but from previously owned vehicles I know the difference in the way these systems perform and what my personal preference is. And by the way I have yet to see a post where someone was complaining about the results a blower yielded on this site!

Good Luck,
Jeff

My car is all stock with just the Trilogy kit and puts out 380 rwhp and 9.5# boost. Not only does it spin the tires from a dead stop , I can also break them loose from a 10-15 mph roll in cooler temps. :burnout:

Easy now Marty, your getting so excited that you've made numerous spelling errors. This offer also applies to you. :P

I have a saying about learning lessons: FIRST TIME, EVERY TIME. Thing is, you can smoke $7,000 worth of motor in less time than it takes to read this. I know some guys have, but I'd never try it. :twocents:NO WAY will you destroy your engine!!!......NOT with the Trilogy kit. The reason why some guys who install S/Cers mess up their engines is because they just slap a S/Cer on them w/out having a complete kit that was designed specifically for the car in question. The Trilogy kit was designed and engineered specifically for the Marauder and nothing else. There's absolutley nothing generic nor universal about this S/Cer kit at all nor about the installation manual that it comes with. You get everything you need including a special computer chip burned by Lidio of Alternative Automotive for S/Ced Trilogy equipped Marauders. One of the reasons why I chose the Trilogy kit for my Marauder, is because Trilogy is an engineering company. they employ 90 people, which includes their own engineers. I know this for a fact, because I've spoken with one of their engineers on the phone more than once. This S/Cer kit is no joke!! it isn't something that was thrown together in a few days or weeks.There was alot of engineering that took place in the development of this kit.

I installed the Trilogy S/Cer kit myself on my Marauder, and it's no big deal. And I'm NOT a professional auto mechanic, nor was I ever one. I've never even had any schooling for auto mechanics. Not even in highschool. And I had no problems installing the Trilogy kit. Any mechanically inclined person who is used to working on cars can do it, and it doesn't even require any special tools. My car runs very low 12's in the quarter consistently, and I've put 12,000 hard miles on it since I've installed the Trilogy S/Cer and the thing runs great.And it's my daily driver 12 months a year that gets me to work and back.And leaving rubber from a dead punch you ask? I guess you haven't seen my burnout video.

Yes, the S/Cer installation is time consuming. It took me several days to complete, but I did most of it by myself w/the exception of a friend helping me with the part when you actually lower the S/Cer itself onto the motor since it weighs about 50LBS with the intercooler attached to it. But the installation is NOT rocket science, and I disagree with the statement above about damaging you engine. You won't do that with a Trilogy kit as long as you follow the instructionmanual step by step, and you plug in the chip before starting the engine. If you doubt what I'm saying, then just give Jerry Barnes at Trilogy Motorsports a call 313-336-6135 and ask him to e-mail you a PDF file of the instruction manual, and you'll see for yourself when you look at it that any amatuer mechanic with half a brain can do the install with that instruction manual.

It brings you step by step through every single little procedure of the installation, and has color pictures of all the Marauder parts that you'll be working on. I garantee you that you've never seen an instruction manual like it in your entire life.


Below is a copy taken right from the loose leaf binder Trilogy installation manual of all the tools that you'll need for the installation:

[RoyLPita]

I read the book (thanx again, Tallboy). It is a chore, but worth it.

[BillyGman]

I read the book (thanx again, Tallboy). It is a chore, but worth it.Just to clarify something......a "chore"? yes, it is a big job. I don't want to be misunderstood here......it requires much more time and effort than a tune up, or an oil change. Like I said, it was time consuming for me. but it isn't anything that I would call "high-tech" at all, and it does NOT require special tools. Anyone who's mechanically inclined can do it. And w/out any worries about "destroying your hi-tech engine". If anyone thinks that there's any danger of that, then they haven't done their homework on the subject of supercharging for the street, and taken a good look at the Trilogy instruction manual. this was the first and only Supercharger that I've ever installed, and I never thought that I'd tackle such a job. but as soon as I took a good look at the Trilogy installation manual, I knew that I could do it, and so I did.

Billy, hands down you have one bad a** supercharged Rauder. I repeat idly
watch that matalica burn out video, I love the one where you "romp" it
and the tires just smoke down the street with no brake.... ddrroollss. Your help in my decision making has helped beyond words, everyones for that matter.
I still feel the need to finish out my warentee (im at 11,500 - Gotta wait till 20,000) But holy crap these "Super-Marauders" are one bad "mama jamma"
All is I can say is, I cant wait!!!!! Trilogy here comes another MM;)

[QWK SVT]

Below is a copy taken right from the loose leaf binder Trilogy installation manual of all the tools that you'll need for the installation:
The list of required tools include a drill, and grinder. Just wondering what you need these tools for, and which parts need modification for S/C fitment?

<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->Hey, thanks for the kind words about my car. There are a number of guys who own some serious S/Ced Marauders who are also members of this board. When I find a product that I'm as impressed with as I am with the Trilogy kit, or the Kooks headers, I just like to let others know about how satisfied I am with the results. If you decide to do the installation by yourself, and you want some help on a weekend, just let me know, and I'll take a ride to where you're at.;)

[BillyGman]

The list of required tools include a drill, and grinder. Just wondering what you need these tools for, and which parts need modification for S/C fitment?The drill would be for the two mounting holes that are needed for the mounting of the Bosch electric water pump for the intercooler coolant system that comes with the Trilogy kit. You also have to drill a couple holes to mount the Kenne Belle "Boost-A-Pump" fuel pump amplifier in the trunk, but it's no big deal. The grinder is to grind down the two bosses for the fitment of the intake manifold which comes included in the Trilogy kit, and replaces both the factory stock lower and upper intake manifolds on the Marauder. But again, this doesn't take rocket science, and sounds more difficult than it is. That's why you really should ask Jerry Barnes to e-mail you a PDF file of the manual, because once you see the color pictures of this procedure that it includes, you will know yourself that you can handle it if you have any mechanical abilities.

SOME of you guys are too much..... KENNY BROWN, KENNY BROWN, KENNY BROWN...... Oh wait, the QUESTION was how much are the various kits without installation..... I'm sorry.. Is it me? or does EVERY SINGLE thread turn into "you should do THIS" .... "don't do THAT"... or "do a SEARCH" ... "pick up the phone".... (soapbox) This is a great site, full of information, and enthusiasts. Lots of new MM owners, asking questions, as I did, almost 2 years ago. I gotta say it's been tough to stomach lately. I get tired of reading all the BS, all the grandstanding.... It's a CAR !! Most of the post I'm talking about would NEVER happen in a face to face conversation... OK I'd better stop now....

Some people talk about the board being full of car "enthusiasts" and yet act upset or surprised when those same car "enthusiasts" are ENTHUSIASTIC about thier cars, and about how great the modifications are that they've performed to their CARS. And then they label it as "grandstanding".....I must have missed something here, but I thought that if you're a car "ENTHUSIAST" then sooner or later you'll come across as being "ENTHUSIASTIC" about your car, or about how fast it's become because of some work that you've done to it. So much so that you'll be eager to tell others about it, so that they can enjoy the same results as you have. seems to be some contradictions or some double standards being thrown around here. or maybe, just maybe this all has to do with ......oh, nevermind.....<ENTHUSIAST\\\"...THEN class=inlineimg title=Confused sooner later be, uhmmm, ?ENTHUSIASTIC? your car, or how much faster it is a point that you?ll want to tell others about it. :confused:

Well,, Billy-G- and MarauderKC. Another S/C thread closed due to differences in opinions.
Billy, it is no secret where your loyalties lie IE: Superchargers. Please refrain from trying to egg on something on the board. This is a warning to take it off the board and keep it off the board. Next time there will be no warning just a little "vacation" Vendors here have a special place and flaming and argumentative baiting will not be tolerated.

Greg, sorry about this, but in the future try to rise above it all and please don't "call out " anyone on the board

This thread is closed.

[Logan]

Indeed. Consider all involved, vendors included, issued a final warning or both accounts will be closed promptly, regardless of status or tenure on this board. Think I'm joking? Go ahead. Try me.

I'm no patience or time for the childish bull, and to be honest, I don't give a crap who started it or why, you'd both be as equally gone for participating.

Grow up and act your age.
