RSM SUPERCHARGER for 3.1

[jackflat0021]

i have i 91 buick regal coupe i want to S/C it i found the RSM SUPERCHARGER for 3100 and i wanna kow if it will work the same or better because of the lower compression

and if you can please list some sugested mods to compliment this one

What tranny do you have and what motor in the Regal......Didnt know RSM had a 3100 application.

Technically you could run more boost and a smaller pulley with lower compression. As far as supporting mods, definitely get some exhaust mods (headers or PEMs, bigger DP, high flow cat, etc). Also iirc the rsm preprogrammed "tune" is horrible, they also say to put the maf before the s/c instead of close to the TB where it should be, and I've heard all sorts of bad things about premature s/c failure (although I've also heard it's a somewhat easy fix, just don't remember what it is). I'd definitely invest in some tuning software or go to someone to tune it if I were you, maybe some bigger fuel injectors too if the rsm kit doesn't already come with them. Also as far as tuning goes, I'd invest in a wideband O2 sensor (keep in mind it wont replace the stock narrow band O2, it's just meant to compliment it), that way you can precisely tune your fuel trims and such.

He won't have to worry about RSM's tuning as his car is an OBDI system and the RSM kit was made for OBDII cars.

The premature failures were from the use of rubber-walled bearings and the key for the pulley was made of low-grade steel.

yea my car is OBDI the engine and tranny are stock i would say thank you for the mod info but it was kinda confusing

true, didn't even think about that

[jackflat0021]

i been lookin into converting from OBDI to OBDII but i have no idea where to start

[Superdave]

Look into changing over to the TGP 3.1 code with a 2-Bar MAP. There are lots of people running boost on 3.1's using that setup.

OBD1 > OBD2

whats rsm website and how much is this kit

[angrysk8r]

parts for your car still sells it i think

it's pretty pricey though at $4400, if I were you I'd go the turbo route instead, you could make a setup better than that for half the price.

[MY91GT(Z)]

damn i didnt think it was that much they ought to consider lowerin the price, if they want to sell more than they have
