1.7 Autorotor

send a private message to XR7DAVE and ask him how much.

ur gonna run when u hear how much :eek: , but its by far the best "bang for the buck" mod.
 
I have been told they are $2,500-$3,000

I forgot right off hand how much my A/R cost.
It was more than listed above.I ordered one
that was polished,That was an extra $500.00.
I polished The plenum ,$ 150.00. The blower kit
came with a modified fuel rail, jackshaft pulley,
brass fittings, allen bolts, SCT chip, it was a
well thought out blower kit with just about
every thing you need for the A/R blower swap.

I had not been able to install mine when I first
received it,sick,. I have had it for less than two years.
I now don't have the money or dyno/tuner in my area
to get a tune. If I could do the A/R blower install.

And I may need bigger injectors than the #42
I am running now. Because I have a MP 85mm TB,
C&L tuner MAF, 3.5 cold air tube to install with
the A/R blower. And every part has been polished
or chrome.

All the parts Dave made for my A/R blower kit look
great.

I believe last time mentioned the kit was closer to $3,000 however it may now use the 2.0 AR not teh 1.7. Just contact him as mentioned above
 
you're ears must have been ringing.

But you got the ones for the program shipped to you before then...right?

No, but they are here now. Your prices are already set so the only thing that happened there is my hourly rate went down. There are many things that will be affecting the future of the twin screw in respect to the SC. It's too early to really comment.

Why would anyone want a Steigemeier ported M90 even if he did them? Magnum Powers already has the T-bird version of the M90 nailed. Just get ahold of Charles.

I asked Kenne Bell several years ago to make a kit for the SC. I even offered to do the R&D for them but they weren't interested.

Why is it so much you ask? Perhaps you should take a look at the cost of a KB kit.....They START at $3000 and go up from there.

Exactly what I was going to point out. If KB did make a kit for the SC, you can bet it wouldn't be cheaper.

Randy,

Are you thinking about selling your kit ?

I do not think anyone would pay near what I have in the
blower with related parts. I dout that a SC person would
even give me the price of the polishing, or porting of a
A/R blower. I am looking at having the A/R blower ported by KB.
I am sure that I will own the most costly A/R that has
been built by Dave D. for a SC-Bird. Its no longer a standard
A/R 1.7 blower kit that Dave sold to others.

I look to have $6000.00 in it maybe more,not sure yet.
I bought it for another motor that I had been collecting parts for.
Every part has been finish with a high polish. Parts
include K&N air filter, C&L 85MM tuner, 3.5 chrome cold-air tube,
MP 85mm TB, 1.7 A/R blower, blower intake plenum, custom blower hat,
larger intake manifold plenum, raised intake manifold, blower pulley,
jackshaft pulley, modified fuel rail, innovate LM-2, SCT Racers
tuning harware, Dell laptop computor, etc. And the A/R has
the updated breather system that KB uses.
(NO HOSES OR AIRTANK ON SIDE OF BLOWER)
So I do not think anyone will want to pay what the blower kit I
have is worth. As I am sure it will be the best performing 1.7
A/R blower that Dave has put out.

And if I would sell it, Kurt K., Tony, have asked to buy so they
would be first on the list if I do sell. I am sure they both are no
longer interrested. As they most likley purchased a 2.0 A/R from
Dave D.. I think that a ported 1.7 may perform just as well as
as stock ported 2.0 A/R in different RPM ranges.

Thanks Randy

Regardless of how much it cost him to produce it most likely wouldnt be sheaper..Its a shame they never wanted to do anything but what are ya gunan do..Just as an example swapping out an o3/04 cobra blower with the Kenne bell 2.6L A/R (14-24 PSI) will run you 3,899 bucks. In that form the kit will include a switch chip, boost a pump, Inlet and all the other stuff to make it work. You can minus $550 from the price if you get rid of the switch chip and boost a pump still bringing the price in at $3,349..And this is direct from Kenne Bell...So Dave has priced the kit to be comparable to what kenne bell would offer price wise if he were ever to make a kit

The sad thing is that at the same price KB is making a ton more money. His acquisition is so much lower it's ridiculous.

Randy,

I'm sure there is someone who would be willing to take it off your hands, if you really want to sell it.

If the tuning is your main hang-up with the install of the kit, I would be willing to trailer the car up to Dave's place to get that taken care of. Once it's tuned you can handle tweaks thru e-mail. Just hate to see all that go-fast hardware gathering dust, when it could be used to make your car one of the fastest in the club.

David
