Engine output is 410kw (550bhp) and maximum torque of 668nm.
This conversion does not require decompression, thus the motor does not need opening! Standard compression of 11:1 is maintained.

The plenum chamber on the underside is heat treated, by means of an insulated material to help keep boost temperatures as low as possible.

Supercharger drive is done by means of a new crankshaft pulley that replaces the original and is designed to suit. The Gates Kevlar Ten rib belt is used and with this set up slippage is absolutely minimal and boost is maintained at 0.5bar at sea level.

The conversion utilises a specially designed Vortech supercharger for our own application, with the V2 gear set (quiet operation) The unit is oil cooled and oil lubricated with gravitational oil to sump return.

A Vortech maxi-flow discharged valve is used in order to eliminate any light throttle pulsing or surging

Original factory long life spark plugs are replaced with racing NGK spark plugs which are two plug ranges colder and freely available from authorised outlets and are changed at fewer intervals alongside recommended engine oil changes.

A high flow large (that's no lie) volume intercooler is fitted to the front of the car. This fits in behind the current mesh and fills the total area dropping boost temperatures to well below the safety limits. All intercooler pipes are made from stainless steel with high polished finish. Intercooler and pipes are joined by means of high quality silicone couplings and once again stainless steel clamps are used.

While the vehicle is being electronically programmed, it is your option to have the fuel changed to leaded fuel. This is purely cosmetic, having for grey coloured tail pipes as opposed to black generated from unleaded fuel.

A boost-enriching regulator is fitted in the left sill behind the left wheel arch. All new fuel lines are made from Teflon braided lines. The reason for this position is, trust me; there is no more space under the bonnet especially on the front and left side. The engine is remapped (programmed) by means of a unichip as well as the road speed govenor removed for those that enjoy the over 300kmh. This conversion will be capable of approximately 325kmh.

The exhaust system is uniquely manufactured from lightweight stainless steel, which will no longer house the catalytic converters and will be a full performance system. Although still conservative, one would note the grunt of this upgraded V8 engine. Four exhaust outlet tail pipes are fitted and positioned the same as standard but one can distinctly notice the increase in diameter.

Although the system is a free flowing exhaust system it is still very conservative allowing only the sound of this mammoth conversion with the V8 note and no boom or annoying sound at any engine rpm.

The use of factory approved Castrol RS full synthetic oil is employed for conservation of supercharger and other components. A high volume air filter is situated behind the left fog light and is easily accessed for cleaning on service intervals.

Directly behind the kidney grills is an additional oil cooler which sole purpose is to provide additional oil cooling to the supercharger unit. All oil feed lines are manufactured from braided Teflon.
