Subject: sprintex supercharger numbers required


For anyone interested, TMR in Melbourne have been in in talks with sprintex about releasing a batch of s5 superchargers for the 380. Apparently they require about 20 orders minimum to make it a goer and keep the price at around 5k supply only,6k installed. So far they have about 11 expressions of interest from 380 owners. Not sure if it will be financially viable if they can't get around 20 orders, if they do will probably cost 5k+ per unit supply only. If interested let Jon or Allan know at TMR.

Location: An island off southern Tasmania.		Series 5 is a current product, all they have to do is the custom plenums, the rest is pretty straightforward me thinks.


I already have two units...so I am right for now, else i would be jumping in....

Call Sprintex direct aka ATD group in Perth, have a chat to Mark Ambrosis...tell him you want ten units...he will surely want the business if TMR do not.

Yeah thanks, first call was to Sprintex, they said they had none but to call TMR, from TMR they said they require an order of about 20 units to proceed with a batch. Will ring Mark Ambrosis direct as you suggested.

It's early days yet.

the 380's are still around the 10-15k mark.

Once they get to the magic 7-8k mark and all the youngish guys can afford them , then you will see a fair bit of interest.

I was saying three years ago that they would be replacing the Magnas as a great cheap to run daily...


The next 12 months should be the turning point me thinks...just wait and watch....

At least i have given them something to aim for...LSD,brakes,forged engine.

Although I doubt many young guys have the same tax deduction capability as I have...or are as stupid as me to pursue a dead product.


Oh well.....

The hardest component to acquire is the intake plenum casting for the Sprintex kit.

Have a guess who has a spare on the shelf?...brand new of course....people laughed when i bought it....$300 from Sprintex.


I bought it to replicate it if necessary in the future. A guy in Geelong says he can make them no probs.

I want an intercooler coil from laminova if i was to fabricate a run....hmmm...might chat to Sprintex....

I have a guy in China who can cast any car parts in numbers for next to nothing.

I can get Gready GTR mainfold copies, original ones are $1000+ for under $100.

If you have the quantities i can give you his details.

Me thinks I need to download a copy of the manuals quick smart. I'm not sure what language you guys are speaking, but gee I'm impressed. lol. Whats a plenum casting?. Need for bigger brakes I understand, but what are the advantages of having a LSD and your engine forged.

The plenum is the big chrome looking thing right behind the plastic engine cover.

The plenum is what the air gathers in before it goes to the valves.

In supercharged installations where the supercharger sits on top of the motor a custom plenum is used so the supercharger simply bolts to it.

So as an example if you had a V8, a special custom plenum or manifold is made that is open with the bolt pattern of the supercharger on it so it bolts straight onto it.

As examples....

Standard intake manifold/plenum for a V8, Supercharged intake manifold/plenum and supercharger bolted to the intake plenum (blue bit)
