if i supercharge my 96 3100, can i get any gains without getting a tuner if i run like 4 psi of boost, or will my car just run like crap?

if you don't wanna tune it then its stupid to waste that much money on a s/c. do it right the first time or go home. why waste money and blow ur engine???

haha u STILL didnt answer my question. the reason i was asking this was to see if i could hook the supercharger up, maybe run it once, then when i got the money-get a megasquirt II setup to make it run right (the car is gonna do a LOT of sitting until may 9th, & is probably going to see one run, which will be when i show my friend what a 3100 with a couple of mods can do lol). im assuming by your reaction that it wouldnt work out whatsoever without the tune up? also is there anyone in ohio that i could just take it to to have it tuned, or would that be a fortune?

if your going to be running the ms then learn to tune it idk i have only been 2 places in ohio and don't plan on going anywhere else ever. thats cedar point and my automotive college.

i am sure you could run it at low boost but get some kinda a/f gauge preferably a wideband to make sure your not running lean, cause i would guess your gonna keep the fuel system stock until you get everything else

you'll see gains. probably not a lot because its not tuned and you arent adding more fuel, but simply because you are forcing more air in. Like a fancy expensive new air intake, basically. IMO you might come out safer just waiting until you have all the parts in hand.

[no_doz]

thats the idea, because ill have the money for either the supercharger or the megasquirt pretty soon, but not enough for both (atleast for a while), do you guys think that would work for like 1 day of running it (not even a whole day)? also i live in ohio, & where do you go to college, northwestern?

You'd be better off putting the Megasquirt on there FIRST before you put a supercharger on it. Putting the megasquirt on their first will give you time to figure out how to tune it, and how to make all the adjustments you wanna make - then you can put the supercharger on there. Doing it in the reverse order could end up costing you a lot more money.

But, to answer your question, if you put the supercharger on there first, running very low boost (1 - 3 lbs) you would probably see a small gain in power - but you'd still have a HIGH risk of damage..

will i get any gains just by hooking the megasquirt kit-up?

theres this new invention in the banking world. Its called a "savings account". This type of account allows you to put away money with intrest untill you deiced to take it out and use it. Perhaps for a proper setup for your car.

I'd totally have to agree with you on this one.

possibly but i doubt it


yes i goto northwestern, and i hate all these hicks down here with there stupid diesels with smoke stacks

If you have a 96, why not get a DHP to tune your stock computer? Does a 96 have a MAF sensor? If so, then that would be the easiest way to be able to tune.

Do not install a supercharger without the ability to tune when you an afford the tuner first. Otherwise you likely wont have anything to tune later.

where is dhp located at & how much do they usually charge to tune a stock computer-such as if i set up that supercharger & took it to them for tuning? also i went up & toured northwestern & i saw all of those diesels, along with one that said "id rather be Cummin than Strokin" haha, oh and a couple of crappy looking cars with half a body kit that wasnt painted & a couple nice rims/couple not so nice rims lol.

yeah all the cars there are gay and slow except a few, one kid who lives by me back home has a turbo charger that runs 11's, and a few f-body's that are qwick. also a kid on here goes there that has a turbo grand prix
