Hello, I'm the second owner of a 95 5-speed SC with approximately 130,000 kms (approx 81,000 miles). I am replacing my supercharger with a Magnuson Products remanufactured Eaton supercharger, S-Ported 3.16" Pulley, and the installation is in two days.
I have been reading the forums and I need clarification on if I should also be doing modifications (e.g. exhaust) to my SC to prevent the head gaskets from blowing because there was talk in the forums that "...there is no place for the air to go as a result of the different oversize pulley"... etc. I am wondering if these comments relate ONLY to the situation where an SC owner replaces the pulley only and NOT the entire s-ported supercharger (i.e., my situation)..
My intention at this time is to keep the rest of my car stock, and I just ordered the s-ported for extra power, but if I now have to do other modifications (to prevent future problems) I just want to know that. If I do, then I don't want to drive my car yet after the installation.....
Am I safe simply having the remanufactured supercharger put in, and not having to worry about any other modifications??
Thanks in advance for your help and any quick replies would be appreciated..
