we are looking for a 300kw end result or better

Make up a full turbo kit instead.
Supercharges are OK on larger displacement engines because of the torque the bigger displacement has on tap from the get go.
But with Turbo's you can at least get full torque when the turbo reaches max boost, instead of waiting for the supercharger to get up to max revs to give Max torque.

Not really a "World First" either, COBB did it years ago to the 3l Tribeca engine.

Oh no.


Not another one of these ZOMG threads.

I call BS on 300kw. Big time.

Look this is just to guage what people think, Im not worrried about room yet as where there's a will theres a way. If you all think it's a waste of time than we will scrap the idea. Raptor already does a NA RS blower kit here in Aus and it hangs off to the side so the H6 takes up the same amount of room as far as side ways goes it just longer. The rule of thumb is that 14psi on an NA engine usuallly doubles power. So 14psi would be 360kw so 7psi would be about 270kw so our goal would be 300 with some tuning and the fact that 200kw is achieveable with STD engine with a tune. Can anyone imagine what 300kw in a liberty would be like with a high flow exhaust and a boxer 6 growl. I am alittle surprised that you guys aren't keen on this

Our company is a HDT dealer and we have a mainline 4wd dyno, we have fitted plenty of blowers and turbo kits. This will be our first go at such a task. Raptor superchargers has developed a blower kit for the NA RS as in his words " I make the blowers already so now its just a matter of making fitting kits. I have never seen an engine that can't be forced inducted. You name an engine and someone has blown or turboed it. If we all agree that the subaru engines respond well to boost and the H6 has variable cam timing and timing chains instead of belts. They also have high strength conrods similar to an STI conrod and shot peened rings. I reckon the H6 has been left by the way side. You search the internet and there is nothing on them. The kits will be like most blower and turbo kits, it will have all the parts required to do the job but it will be your responsibilty to see that it is correctly fitted and tuned. I maybe just do a one off for myself and see how it goes, at least i will get to enjoy the torque and surprise a few people on the street.

No I'm not talking about the black impreza, If you look at raptors web site they have a silver one here in Mackay that we tuned. The dynograph is on there as well and it was 124awkw i think. That would have to be close to a WRX. It has been going no probs at all. The black one was a raptor blower that the guy fitted to his own car. The silver one is developed by Raptor himself ans it is his daily driver.

I think some of the repsonses you have recieved are from immature NEVILLE's who a are simply lacking knowledge.
Its true, there is nothing out there. There are plenty of H6 enthusists out there. They have all had to settle for small tuning gains either by aftermarket mapping or sti v-tune. In both cases 10% is it. I have visited STI and the demand for tuning is high.

If you do it by the numbers there is a market, not all sube drivers want a boxer 4 turbo hit, hence why the maturer drivers own h6 fitted liberty's.

Go for it. What a performance bargain it would be.

i drive an H6 and despite the fact that i could make more power with a turbo, i like being able to pull a car load of people up a hill doing under 2000rpm... a supercharger kit would enhance the already powerful torque curve of the H6...

besides i love the sound of a supercharged engine

i for one would put up my hand for a supercharger kit... but i wouldn't feed boost into the stock engine... you'd at least have to find a way to lower compression... (thicker head gaskets? or lower comp pistons?) [and i don't know how much power you could make on the {i think} 280cc injectors)

my car currently runs 143kw at the wheel in NA form (and i'm aiming for 150+ once it's retuned) and i'm very happy with it. i wouldn't want to turn it into a grenade that makes me worried about putting my foot down any time i want some acceleration.

i think that if you could find a way to reliably supply H6 owners with 200kw at the wheels for under $10k... there would be a market for it......

but probably not a very big one... the H6 is the top of the range model after all... people don't want to mess around with a $50k+ car if there is a chance it's going to blow up after the first 5000kms

just my 2c
