Sukhoi,

Thanks for the kind words. It'* great you were able to get back into fixing up your ride. I think it'* going to be a heck of a beast and a very original one at that. Good luck with it and be sure to keep me updated!

Hrm... Curious what you knew about before I found the 'remaining stuff.' I actually recall a call from you asking me where I had found *all* the stuff. You're a lot of fun Bill. Not worth an argument, just wondering out-loud why you thought the connection had already been made.

Jason, we had two other vendors that had found SOME stuff down there already. One was in negotiations to distribute that stuff in the states, and felt there wouldn't be enough market for it. There was even a preliminary UIM design based on one of the Holden intakes in the works.

You don't know EVERYTHING that goes on with other vendors. I didn't share that early stuff with you because I was asked not too. Much the same as the flowbench data on the LIM changes. It'* not my data to share, and I was asked not to for the time being.

I've known about alot of products and ideas that never evolved, and had a professional repsonsibility not to share it. I even tried fruitlessly last night to revive the old L36 UIM idea. I know more about it than anyone else besides the originator, probably enough to give it to another vendor to run with, but I don't have the right to do so.

You found the cams and rockers before any other member or vendor here. Kudos to you for all the research and sourcing you did, but you were not the FIRST to discover the Holden cross-market. Just thought I'd explain my comment for you since you asked and poked a little fun at me for it.

Probably should get back on topic. Sukhoi, I think you'd be alot better off with the Gen3 SC inlet design in your venture. There'* a notable difference in inlet temps between the Gen2 and Gen3 that isn't solely based on the diameter of the bore.

Really I wouldn't even claim to know what'* going on with ANY vendors. Not being cocky just watched things go on for much too long. Certainly convenient timing however. 4 years and not a peep then suddenly here you are with a big secret again. Strange vendor though, why on earth would you try to introduce one of like 3 parts you would have to modify like crazy to fit? Why didn't he try to introduce a clutch?

Oh and I poke fun at you cause it'* easy and sometimes you take it with a smile..sometimes at least.

But yes, let'* get this back on topic.

Jason, one of the reasons our Vendors share their ideas and plans with me is because they trust me. They know damn good and well I won't share it until they do. And that holds true for ideas that never came about. With regards to 'introducing parts you'd have modify like crazy', the IDEA was spawned from a Holden part, and it would have been a LEVERAGED design based on the IDEA. You really have NFC what goes on around here and how I treat the information given to me. There are a couple people here who do, and there are ALOT of people here who trust me and the way I handle information.

It'* arguments like this that cause people to say WTF is going on here? Funny that it'* you and I that end up like this. Simply because you don't know what'* going on, and you think you should.

This is where I pull Admin. Take your beefs offline or to a higher power. Not in this topic any more.

Frankly I think that is unfair. Seems DrJay does know precisely WTF IS going on here, and I agree with him. I've doen enough reading here to draw my own conclusions.

This is MY thread, not yours.

Sukhoi, you are even more uninformed than he is. And quite frankly, the issues with DrJay and I are none of your business. And you will never hear of the issues from me due to professional courtesy and respect.

I'm not sure what that means;

List etiquette allows for the flow of ideas last I looked. If no one can challenge a posters' comments, than why are we here?. No disrespect has been shown to anyone, until DrJay'* post was challenged, then threatened.

If I read what you are saying correctly, know one is allowed to disagree...even with an administrator?

Anyways, BACK to the subject at hand;

It would be nice to hear from others who have switched SC'* and TB'*, and hear what their experiences are. There has to be others on such a large list....

You may have started this topic, but I have the authority to take ownership of it if I so choose. That'* what the agreement above is about.

I CAN tell DrJay not to post off-topic again. That'* my JOB. The fact that he thinks he'* the first to discover the Aussie market is false, but more to the point doesn't have anything to do with this topic. Just because he doesn't know it'* false doesn't mean it isn't.

Keep this further discussion via PM'* with me or another Admin.

Back on topic, only the REVERSE of what you asked about has been tried on the street. A 92/93 TB was mated to a Gen3 supercharger. It was done because of a shitty SC vendor sending the wrong Gen to the member. The results of that aren't as negative from a performance standpoint as putting the larger throttle body on the less-efficient SC.

If you're as serious about performance as you sound, it doesn't sound like you will be messing around with a Gen2 supercharger for much longer anyway.

The greatest cause of a rise in air temperature in the Gen 2 setup is the inlet surface of the SC, partially because of it'* size, and partially because of the rough sand-cast finish. To a smaller extent is the shape and size of the inlet cavity before the rotors. Much of this was improved in the Gen3.
