You do not run engine oil through it. It has it's own internal oil system. It is entirely self contained within the supercharger body. It is a sealed system. You only need to check it about every 10K miles or so.

Pettit is still playing around with their ECU setup. They finally had to go to an additional fuel injector in the intake manifold to solve a lean condition above 6000 rpm. They have been testing at only 3 psi to make sure things work before boosting pressure. I haven't spoken to them in a week, but that's where they. The next 30 days should show be interesting at their shop. They are hoping to get my SCer on my car in the next 2 weeks so that we can test at a NASA drivers school at Moroso on the 23rd of January. I will keep all posted if this happens.

This is why I accepted my 8 for what it is and got the LGT.

Also, keep in mind. The Compression ratio of the car while static is alot different when you add boost.

HA! I knew they didn't have it tuned properly when the Motortrend article came out! Rumor has it that they told MT that and MT agreed to print the "still tuning" bit, then renigged. I'd be PISSED if I were Pettit.

Pettit makes top quality stuff folks... this is one to watch!

I don't care for superchargers, and one an a rotary just sounds strange to me.... I am open to it if they can make it work however.

Also, for those looking for a clutch, ATS makes a Carbon Clutch setup, couple that with either the Orthodox Lightened Flywheel or the mazdaspeed unit and that should take care of the tranny for the most part.
