Buying S/c This Month Need Help

11-20-2004, 12:31 PM

I have been looking around the net for S/C for the 3400 SFI. Andys auto sells one for the grand am 3400 sfi engine. Think its just under 5000.00 for everything. So my question is well it work in our aleros? How much would I have to change to get it under my hood and is there any better ones that well add more HP. What mods do I have to do to my engine before I can install it? Buying this prob by Xmas so the more help the better.

have you searched the site yet?

I would personally get the RSM Racing Supercharger, Adds 90 hp and is less than 5000 bones. The only problem is you have to drive the car to them in Canada to have it installed by them otherwise they wont sell it but there price inlcudes a Room in a hotel while they install it so it is a pretty good deal.

it doesn't state in thier ad that they have to install it? i'm buying a S/C from them next year, but i live in South Texas, and it wouldn't be cost effective for me to have to drive to them for install and be given a freee hotel room?

Ok it did say it maby it doesnt any more becuase people weren't buying them and there hp rating went down I sware it was 90 but the site says 80.

wow canada is about 1/2 an hour from me. i should go on a vacation there and get my car supercharged. lol

Vtolds · 11-20-2004, 01:16 PM

Thats a good Idea? I can be in Montreal in about 1 1/2 hours maby 2.

Rsm also has a shop in illinois, but i am not sure if they install there but I know they got a shop in the us. You do have to let them install it becuase they will not ship the kit and I would guess that the andy's and the rsm are the exact same kit.

Vtolds · 11-20-2004, 01:23 PM

Maby not the same kit but there's might be based on the RSM kit or the RSM Based on the Andy's kit.

I well be going to Canada in Jan to see some friends in the Hamilton area so this might be a good idea. How long does it take them to install one and is that under 5000.00 installed? Anyone got any pics of theirs installed so I can see what it looks like?

Vtolds · 11-20-2004, 01:40 PM

You would ahve to email them for details but they have a pic on there site that I got for you.

Rsm is got thers for 3900 right now but that might be the candian price because last I knew it was 4700. Ok, what it is, is 4700 for the canadian kit and 3900 for the us kit but that sounds backwards to me .

11-20-2004, 01:49 PM

The andys is the rsm and Andy's is just the middle man for rsm and another reason why the price is so high.

nope... not backwards, as of right now... 3,900.00 USD = 4,649.19 CAD

I just emailed them about the supercharger, i'll let you know what they say?

kwhauck · 11-20-2004, 03:38 PM

i personally would get a magnuson supercharger first, then a turbo, then the rsm kit....that is my order of preference...

a turbo blows exhaust
a supercharger blows intake

iow thats not a turbo like you say, its a charger.

Vtolds · 11-20-2004, 10:06 PM

Yeah A Super Charger if it was a turbo it would be on the back of the motor just before the CAT. The supercharger is run off the belt using a small drive shaft from the belts to the supercharger.
