Supercharger kit for EJ25 engine
There is a post in the "Aftermarket Forced Induction" forum which eventually let's it be known that a company called DNT Performance is considering reviving the Rimmer aftermarket supercharger kit that once-apon-a-time was available for for the EJ25rs. IMHO, a supercharger would be a heck of a lot more suited to off-road use, where low end boost is more important than higher RPM power (eg: turbo). If any of you are interested, email DNT at: [email protected]

Dave....That would be great. I think I would prefer a blower to a turbo also. I like the idea of the boost always available as opposed to waiting for things to spool up.
I also think that the "Rimmer" had some issues with installation/fitment/customer support. I suppose if they could sort all that out it would be a great option. While I'm not chomping on the bit to get one....I for one will try to keep up and see where it goes. Thanks for the post...... |

Received an email from Kent Burgess of DNT performance:
The Rimmer supercharger is out... DNT will be using a centrifugal unit from Rotrex . DNT has located a machine shop/supplier for the mounting bracket, expects to ramp up production soon. The intake piping is also being finalised by a supplier. DNT is now addressing some interference problems with belts, and hoses. DNT expects a completed prototype by early this month. After seeing several failed attempts at producing a viable SC setup for the Subaru application, I guess we should keep our fingers (and toes!) crossed.

FYI, Rimmer switched to Rotrex s/c's right before he bailed...
