Power Ent. Supercharger installation Q.

BSPToaster · 04-25-2009, 01:13 PM

So I picked up this S/C for dirt cheap, but it didn't come w/ an instruction manual nor a oil feed line. I just got the feed line in the mail after ordering it from the Power Enterprise, an idk anything about this I just saw the opportunity on Craigslist an I knew I had to jump on this for the price. My question is where do I install the oil feed line? Also what pulley ( if I'm even saying it right.) does the belt attach to?
I have no experience whats so ever in the performance side of the xB, as a matter of fact this is my 1st mod for this department...
Thanks ahead of time Jay.

Hmmm centrifugal xB supercharger, thats new to me. Need someone to tune and dyno it?

Did a little research......

My post count isn't high enough to post a direct link but if you go on their site powerinterpriseusa.com and look under car model you'll see the scion xB. Click on that you will see their project xB and some info on it (very limited).

The kit doesn't even look like its officially been released. It still says "coming soon" but theirs no telling when the site was last updated....

This kit has been around for a long time. I have never seen anyone run the PE kit before.

The xB kit was and has no plans to be ever released here in the US.

Good find on that and good luck to you.

OP what are you using to tune with? I have a dynojet and tuner calling your name!

BSPToaster · 04-25-2009, 02:12 PM

yup i got it, an when i spoke to the manager at power ent. asked how the heck did i get it? come to find out the kid that sold it to me had a 02 bb imported an then he got t-boned and the car was totaled so he parted out the car along w/ the s/c i picked it up for 450.00

There is another pic of it here: Power Enterprise supercharger
Shows the line going under the engine cover. So may be you can figure it out based on the lenght of the oil line provided. May be to the oil pressure sensor or one of the oil galley plugs in the head or the block.

TheToaster · 04-25-2009, 02:13 PM

Wow man. Good find!

hotweelz4me · 04-25-2009, 02:26 PM

The PE superchargers are actually built by Rotrex, the is a little bit of information on their site and a nice break down pic of the kit that shows what all was supposed to be included.

That's an itty bitty heat exchanger. Then again the supercharger isn't that big. I would look into some kind of methanol/water injection kit to lower the IAT's and EGT's to be on the safe side. AEM make a real good injection kit (comes with either a 1gal or 5gal tank). Something you may be interested in

What are you going to tune with? Whats the injector sizes?

PCH · 04-25-2009, 02:37 PM

Stock injectors should be fine unless you rev it super high with open exhaust.

Whats the duty cycle for stock injectors on a stock xB?

PCH · 04-25-2009, 02:42 PM

Depends on the engine load.

Well i know that lol

I'm referring to WOT being that's where/when it matters and the topic of supercharging pertains too.

859Toaster · 04-25-2009, 03:02 PM

Now that's how you properly supercharge!

Most custom/bolt on installs require drilling and tapping the oil line for the oil, so that'd be my guess.

Even at WOT their duty cycle still depends on RPM. Anyway i am not sure if the ECM has ability to drive them static (100% duty cycle- contiously open) but any time they are held at more than 80% it's basically a must to switch to the ones that can flow more fuel.

You are right in everything you say but when one generally ask of injector duty cycle at WOT its the peak number seen when under WOT. Therefore you provide the peak number between such and such RPM range therefore one can judge themselves if injectors are needed for their particular application

or you state that at such rpm the duty cycle was this and when i reached this rpm it went to this

PCH · 04-25-2009, 03:53 PM

I'll try to dig the Toyota info for the peak numbers but i have a feeling if i find anything it will be in the "pulse width"- not the duty cycle.
With the kit above i would try to mount it first and then run it and see how close the injectors to maxing out. Changing them is really the easiest part of thie whole install.

BSPToaster · 04-25-2009, 04:57 PM

So????? does anyone have the answer to my original question?

PCH · 04-25-2009, 05:15 PM

From the pic above looks like the kit has its own pulley that attaches to the factory crank one.
Do you want to post the pic of everything you got including the oil line?
