ASA supercharger ....first impressions

[amelnick]

Just got my car back after 3 weeks at the shop. Thety installed the Rieger M3 front bumper, an Eisenmann exhaust, and an ASA supercharger. The Rieger front came out great and was perfect for the intercooler on the SC kit. The Eisenmann exhaust is on the quiet side which is what I wanted. The supercharger is amazing It is dead silent and is clutched so it does not run at idle. It starts to build boost and you can feel it start to come on around 2500 RPM. I let it build further and at 4000 if you mash the pedal it throws you back in your seat and you can quickly hit the rev limiter. It is hard to beleive that a 323 can accelerate this fast. On normal driving you would never know that an SC was in the car. So far so Good

wow... sounds good... is that a front mount intercooler? or a aftercooler?

[amelnick]

people call it different things. It is refered to as an intercooler. Air comes from the cold air intake and goes into the blower. It then goes into the intercooler before going into the engine.

Have you had the car dynoed?

[CDCJON551]

do u reprogram the ecu?

[amelnick]

the car will be on the dyno later this week. I did a before dyno so I will know exactly what the gain is.

No reprograming of the ecu is done. It is done with a piggyback setup.

From May 2000 till June 2002 I purchased 4 superchargers from ASA.

The blower lasts very short. After 2000 miles be careful the blower leaks oil into the engine because the carbon sealing gets warn.

Now I purchased a Vortec T trim.

I was so happy with low boost characteristic of the asa blower but the bloody blowers last maxium 5000 miles.

The worst case is detonation because the blower leaks oil into the combustion chamber.

I spent 25,000 USD till now for ASA and G power and am so unhappy.

Be carefull. You will understand in near future what I mean.

I spoke to Christian about you. You were overdriving the blower by more than 50 percent. You did not follow their guidelines or recomendations. I have complete confidence in the blower. It has been around for 8 years and you seem yo be the only one with problems!

I trust more Mert Dastan before a installer/salesperson. I've love
to see your set up. If you ever get some free time please swing
on by Active so we can check out our kit vs the ASA charger in
person.

I have spent approximately 30,000 USD.

I was always hopeful to be successful. But success lastes short. I raced FERRARI modenas and Porsche Turbos and killed them. But problems with the asa kit always there.

In fact I brought the meachanicla from G Power in May 2000 to my country Turkey from Germany. So G power made the installation.

Call any european tuner like KÖENIG, MOSSELMAN, NEXTEK. They all know about asa and g power.

My friend I was also asking ASA and G power for their references and they said their kit was best of all. But I am the one with experience and not you. Why should I try to make you sad?

But be psychologically and financially ready for the outcomes....
