Just want to let everyone that our phenolic spacers are in stock and ready for shipping. The back orders will be shipping today and the people on the waiting list will be called. The final price for these spacers are $139.

The purpose of our spacer is to straighten out the air flow pattern before it hits the supercharger impellers. This kit is also designed to reduce the heat to the upper plenum generated by the supercharger which will give you a cooler air charge. It will work in conjunction with the stock supercharger as well as an aftermarket blower such as the Kenne Bell.

Call JDM at 732/780/0770 or E-Mail us at Sales@TeamJDM.com to order.

Thanks,

Did yall ever get a truck on the dyno with a before and after pull?

 

Justin,

I thought this spacer was installed between the S/C and the lower plenum. If this is the case, then how does it straighten out the airflow before it hits the impellers? If it straightens out the airflow after the impellers, then how does it do that? Also, the air is going through the intercooler after the spacer, so wouldn't that piece of the airflow create some turbulence?

 

No.... Upper plenum and supercharger.

 

Ok, but how does it straighten out airflow? I don't know, I'm just asking.

Also, If it is installed between the upper and the S/C, then I can't see much heat separation advantage because as soon as the air enters the s/c it will become heated again. I would think that if a spacer were put between the s/c and the lower it would at least keep all of the engine heat from entering the supercharger. Just my opinion, I am no expert on this.

Please explain how it straightens the airflow. There isnt enough material to or modication to the airpath to change the airflow. Seems kind of odd to me. As when this was first posted months ago, it would be more beneficial to have a spacer that sits below the blower to the lower intake, opposed to the upper plenum to blower connection. This is NOT making sense.

 

i was looking to get one of these. I thought they'd be less than 100 bucks. But they are $140 it looks like, are they worth the money? Thanks, Shane

 

Must be $40 for the screws and spacers.

 

Yeah, BBK sells a much larger one for Mustangs for like 50 bucks.

Hey guys at JDM, What kind of power increases have you seen from this? (numbers please)

Thanks, WOT

 

What happened to the $89 that was originally quoted?

 

OK, it straightens out the airflow because air has to make a complete U-turn to get into the SC. By adding space at the "apex" of the turn, the air can flow faster. This has been proven on our air intake.

Seperating the SC from the engine is a very bad idea. The SC uses the engine as a heat sink. There's no cooling for it otherwise. I'd expect the SC to go boom if you isolated it.

By insulating the intake, the incoming air is exposed to a hot pathway for less time. If the case of high speed moving air, time exposed to hot parts is typically much more important than temperature of the hot parts.

Still don't know how much you'd get and I've love to see some dyno numbers, but I doubt that will happen.

 

Werent dyno's posted back in that thread "10's are possible on stock blower" or something to that effect? He did see a good solid gain to my recollection, however that price tag seems rather high for some screws and a piece of plastic. Hopefully we can get some more detailed info, but if it works it works.

EDIT: just to make it clear, im not complaining about the price, i do realize theres more to doing this than just manufacturer and bagging the product, theres alot of time and research, and just the original idea, many things that have to go into creating a product like this, you can't just slap it all together. I just think that after all that is done, actual production costs would be extremely low, and that all parties would be better benefitted by a lower price. For 40 bucks i think almost everyone would pick one up, for 140 bucks, i think more people will making their own. But its a free market.
