This is the email reply I got from them.

Dear Mr. Tanner, thank you for the interest in our products. Attached is the requested information. Please notice that we have replaced the SK Plus with 268 hp with a system featuring a higher boost level and 288 hp. The price is 5050,80 plus shipping. The kit contains: bestehend aus: - ASA TurboMex I- 17 Kompressor (ASA TurboMex I- 17 supercharger) - Fliehkraftkupplung (centrifugal clutch) - Grundplatte Kompressor (basic bracket supercharger) - Riementrieb (complete belt drive) - Druckluftführung aus Aluguß (boost pipes) - Ölversorgung Kompressor (oil supply supercharger) - thermostatgesteuerter Ölkühler (oil cooler) - Kraftstoffdruckregler (fuel pressure regulator) - ASAtronic (additional ECU) - all needed material to complete the installation Ladedruck (boost pressure): max. 0,5 bar (7.25 psi) Leistung (performance): 288 PS/ 330 Nm (288 hp / 243 lbf ft) Regarding the tuning. Our system features a piggy back and an additional fuel pressure regulator, that rises the fuel pressure according to the boost level, so that the standard injectors can be used. The installation should be done by a workshop with experience in super or turbo charging since you need tools to measure the air/ fuel ratio. This is essential for a successful installation of our supercharger system. If you require more information, please don't hesitate to contact me at any moment.

I have pics and dyno but the files are large email me at phillip@tannerpower.com if you would like them.
Thanks,

~ Juice

Hmmm, very interesting. Sounds like we could soon have some Limiteds scratching at the back bumper of some SRT-6s soon...

I am very serious about this mod. I could buy it now but would not be able to have it installed for awhile as I am in Iraq. I will not be home again until January. I would like more info. I would like to speak with someone who actually has the mod especially with the manual trans.

I can almost promise you no one has it on this car, but its a sweet mod and a sweet price compared to other offerings. Kleeman has a 280 hp kit that is $6,000, so you save a grand. 290 hp is exactly what the xfire needs to be the perfect vehicle.

I did receive some very detailed huge pictures just before I have to leave on a business trip. When I get home I will try to shrink them to a more normal size. I also called them and spoke to the owner. He mentioned that he was discontinuing the smaller kit and would only be selling the 288 HP kit. He mentioned something about the kit working a little better on manual cars. I was having a hard time understanding his accent. They are located near Munich Germany. The kit appears to look very well engineered with some custom make castings.

You would be smart to buy a new set of srt6 injectors instead of using the stock injectors for sure. I'll give you guys a year to get the bugs worked out and the maps written properly.

Found some specs on the turbomex http://www.a-s-a.de/htm/english/prod..._dat_tm17.html

I'm in if the feedback on the forum is good. I wanted to sell my limited but no one has any money these days and the dealerships value these cars so low that it's just not worth selling, so I'm stuck with a low hp sports car. I hope it all works out well. Hopefully the Euro will starts to fall so we can get our monies worth.

I wonder what an SI tune on top of this could bring the HP numbers too...possibly 300 hp at the crank??

I think with a custom intake, exhaust, sport springs, and ECU tune it could get close to an SRT (even in price, for me at least).

SI gains its 20 horsepower through increasing timing ... this mixed with bosot will get you a hole in your block, nothing more ...

the way to gain more power in this setup will be through better intake air cooling, increasing boost pressure, and adding fuel to compensate for the first two.

yo, so we are talking af a 215 HP to a 288 HP, a 73 HP gain for 5k + labor right?

Anyways I don't know about this because when I did my nitrous NX kit I got 75 HP for $700 bucks out the door.

Nitrous is always cheaper, this is nothing new. In time (depending how often you use nitrous) this mod [supercharger] will actually pay for itself because you don't have the constant expense of refills.

Apples and oranges, the supercharger would be best for everyday street duty, its much safer and reliable.

With the nitrous, who knows when something will go haywire. you might go to use it and un knowingly have a bad connection on your fuel solenoid, there goes the motor. and sometimes the extra fuel has a bit of lag time to when it comes on. this is not something I want on a $8,000 engine

plus, supercharged power is much more constant. NOS is cool though and most modern engines don't have any trouble running a 75 shot.

Yeah I understand, its just that the price of this kit plus labor might be about the same as a new Sportster. I'm debating between a Harley or a super charger kit and its hard to think of improving the xfire vs. getting a hole separate and different toy. You know?

Buy the Harley, then put a nitrous kit on it. The grin on your face will never go away! I know, I have one with nitrous...

Default Re: Found a reasonable priced Supercharger kit

Hello from Prague. I will be back in Texas tomorrow. I wish I would have know about his kit when I booked this trip. If I had, I would have gone through Munich and visited these guys, but am connecting through Frankfurt instead. I wonder if we have any German members near Munich that can check these guys out? I am very tempted by this kit since I wouldn't have to worry about labor. 288 HP wasn't quite as much as I was hoping for but some of you seem to think this would make for a very nice car. One thing they did tell me on the phone was that because of the design, an intercooler is not possible which limits boost and HP. Another option I am considering is using a Rotrex super charger mounted to the front of the engine on the upper passenger side. Relocating the header tank would give gobs of room. Mounting the supercharger here would allow for an intercooler and hopefully better performance. I am working on a budget to do this myself and will weigh it against this kit.

288 hp in this car would be fabulous! I can already hang with the 350Z automatics and Nissan 350 Altimas in stock form. This would make the Limited Crossfire enough power to overtake the 350Z with standard transmission.

^^^ Yes absolutely. The Xfire gets bagged on but for having 215 hp it is a very deceptively quick car. I have kept up with cars with at least 60 more horsepower easily. With almost 290 hp this car would be fabulous!!! Period.

Hey Lantana,

Keep us posted on all you find out, I sent an email similar to yours and got back a reply to "Mr. Tanner", same wording and translation as yours. Oh well I guess those guys are busy...

I am going to try to post some of the pictures they sent me. The pictures they sent are so huge my computer crawls to a stop just loading it. If someone with a more powerful computer wants to try to shrink these, please send me an email I will forward what I have. I also have the instruction manual. The kit looks to be well engineered. One sign of this is they relocated the throttle body to be before the supercharger.
