SVTF Supercharger

[FocusSVT0004]

I've been trying to find a way to buy a supercharger for my 04 SVTF. Is anyone on here selling a Powerworks, slightly used. I'm struggling to try to afford a brand new one. Thanks in advance

I was hoping to find a used one, I can't afford a brand new one now, need to save some more cash. But i did email cfm as well... waitin to hear from them.
Does anybody know how much psi a stock SVTF can safely handle? also the powerworks supercharger online doesnt list how much psi it runs, anyone know this info?

 

[02AllBlackSVT]

Yeah but that is a Great deal for a new one. You really cant trust alot ppl on used ones really. (not saying ppl arent honest.)

I believe the P/W does 8 psi. Uh as for power the stock you can do safe 12 psi I do believe.

I ran 14 lbs for over 3 years, no problems. It's all in the tune. But I will say that at 16lbs I popped the compression ring in #3. But again, it's really all in the tune.

good tune is the trick for any forced induction. Get a nice cam too.

Last word I heard was thier was no aftermarcket cams for a boosted SVTF that out perform the stock cams. This was almost a year ago though, things change. If you know of some, point me in the right direction.

 

[FociSVT03]

Thats true theres no cams better than the factory ones for any apps.
Check this out though.

The second one is prolly the better deal if it's still for sale I'd buy it if my girl wasent trying to get a place together. My buddy Mike knows the guy and has seen it on his car and said it's in really good shape.
Good Luck

at first I think i'm stickin with 8-10 psi with the cfm charger. I have to find the money to get that first. then maybe see how it goes from there.

id love to just throw a BBK JRSC on mine since they are so cheap used and im not looking for insane power from this thing

 

[FocusSVT0004]

Do you need to upgrade clutch with a charger? I'm completely stock except an exhaust, lookin to charge. also i was lookin online at the clutches. I saw a stage I, III, and IV. why no stage II?

 

[HalfTime]

If you go with just JRS then the stock clutch will hold the power just fine. If you go with the Vortech H.O., my stock clutch lasted less then 5k miles. I went with the stage 3 clutch and lightweight flywheel. Help out a LOT! Big difference.

Ok i'm goin with the cfm charger, and i think i may go with the stage II clutch as well. Can i run stock clutch on a new charger for a while and then when i get enough money buy the clutch? or should i go clutch first to be safe?

 

[FocusSVT0004]

need help! how much torque can a OEM SVTF clutch handle?

 

[HalfTime]

You can for a bit. You will start to notice the clutch slipping high rpms, and you will not be able to power shift. But or the most part your stock clutch will hold for a while, like I said already, mine lasted less then 5k miles. Slipping top rpms, and not holding the power on the shifts.

so to do this right i should definatly upgrade clutch first, then supercharge my SVTF..... Can i run a stock Flywheel with a stage II clutch?

 

[HalfTime]

You can run the upgraded clutch with the stock fly wheel. But you will probally need to reserface it first. And because it ia a dual mass fly wheel, it's a pain. If you can, upgrade to a lightweight flywheel at the same time, you'll love it VERY much. revs so much quiker then stock, when you let off, the rpms drop right away instead of floating, and you can regain about 30 whp from the rotaitional mass. The upgraded clutch, and lightweight flywheel alone will really waken up the car. Then when you boost it, so much more.

do you know how much horsepower and torque a stock flywheel can handle?

 

[HalfTime]

Nope, but I do know what it CAN'T handle, a Vortech H.O. kit. Sorry Bro, I just don;'t know what the cut off is. I know when I was at 253whp n 196wtq the clutch would slip on a powershift. When I was at 299whp and 256wtq the clutch would slip above 5k rpms. That's when I changed to the CM Stage 3 n CM Lightweight Flywheel. Jumped up to 331whp and 268wtq plus a few mods. The I blew the stock bottom end, now I've gone full built, I'll post new numbers when I get them.
