Jimmy v6 supercharger kit

Just bought a model 3 and supercharger rates didn’t really factor into my calculations because I already had a 50a sub drop in my driveway, and free to me L2 charging at work. At the end of the day it’s an around town car so I’m happy with my purchase, but I don’t see why anyone would bother with the inconveniences of road tripping a Tesla when a Prius comes in at half the fuel cost, and a v6 minivan is downright comparable.
At 21MPG and premium fuel @ 3.69 per gallon I’m coming up with about 17.5c per mile 24% more than the Tesla. (2010 BMW X5)
With supercharger rates at .40c per Kw, 90% charging efficiency and 310 wh/m I’m coming up with 13.7c per mile for the Tesla.
Is my math bad? I knew supercharging was more expensive than level 2 but that seems wild to me. My wife’s Sienna comes up to 14c per mile for a 2.6% increase over the Tesla. (22MPG, regular fuel @ 3.09 per gallon)
Edit: lmao I just did the math on my dad’s suburban with a big 6.2 v8 and it’s actually more economical than the Tesla. My math has to be bad, right?

I have a 4th gen v6 in great condition, paid off. I like the truck because I have customized it the way I want, and it is not a daily driver, sits in a garage. I think a super charger would be fun and unique, and if I traded my v6 in for a hemi of similar age and miles, I think the supercharger would be less expensive especially with all the taxes.
Thoughts?

Positives.
Power, This happens to be the last of the naturally aspirated V6 motors. Even in a mile high that's always a bit of pep for a truck. Off-road it gives you that Porsche feeling that you have unlimited power. Even the worst rock climbs I've always felt like I've had more than enough power.
4x4 While this does not have a front locker option from the factory. I have brought My truck all over the Colorado Rocky mountains without trouble. I really push the mints to the truck and brought places. Probably the understatement of the century If something gets so bad that you do need to turn on the rear locker and have 4 low engaged You should be questioning whether you should have a vehicle in the space. One of the only times and definitely the last time I let Google direct me off road It sent me up an Rocky ATV ATV trail that did ended into a waterfall. The narrow width of the truck allowed me to actually go up it luckily I was able to find one spot to turn around and didn't have to back down. But the truck is truly capable. Another instance I did a pass behind a stock Rubicon gladiator which bottomed out and all sorts of places that my truck did not.
Availability, and affordability. It's readily available without waiting in relatively affordable. The 360 camera system is wildly better than my 2017 Audi and Toyota products of the same generation. But is still low resolution by today's standards.
Comfort, This is significantly more comfortable then other vehicles in its class particularly when we compare it to the last gen Toyota Tacoma ,Ford ranger & The Jeep gladiator.
Easy to work on. Most everything is easily accessible and stuff you can do yourself. I've changed my own oil which doesn't void the warranty as long as you use a factory oil filter.
Gas mileage 20-22 MPG for highway driving. In town it's another story at 16-17 MPG
Cons. The panel gap is not going away. Fit and finish is an issue but it is a truck, NOT A GERMAN SPORTS CAR.
Recalls......Transmission parking paw , transmission software. Tailgate lock, I'm sure they'll be more to come.
No electric adjustable seat on the passenger side. Even on the highest trim level.
Stock tires are trash and should be replaced immediately! Theare Slippery in all conditions Dry,wet,Rocks,snow.
Factory "rock sliders" (originally marketed as rock sliders which they walked back) Skid plates are completely overrated and should be changed.
Turning radius. It's a truck ,it's about average for a truck . It's definitely better than something like the first gen Honda pilot but not as good as some other trucks.
Noises, My truck is definitely developed creeks rattles at low speeds. There is a plastic bit on the windscreen that should be replaced under warranty that regularly fails and causes wind noise at high speeds.
Dealership experience. I've been trying to get stuff warrantied on this truck since 400 mi with no resolve. The only warranty work that has been done was the parking paw was replaced but the software wasn't updated. I've also noticed the car randomly running out of power when it's been four-wheel drive for a very long time This is solved by a restart. But the fact that nobody in Nissan would even update the software to see if that fixed it is horrible. Also when it's been at the dealership never once has regular maintenance ever been suggested to me.
Aftermarket. They're surprisingly a lot of aftermarket stuff for this truck. Even though it's new it does share a lot of parts with the previous generation. There is some stuff that's specific. But I have a topper on it that I got about 6 months after I got the truck along with rock sliders skid plates and even a front bumper containing a winch. Surprisingly enough there's only one company making a metal rear bumper
The truck sits on a 2-in lift kit It was the second one to be lifted in the United States. It also sits on 33 and 1/2-in tires which have really made it capable.
Improvement wishes, I really wish they would include an electric front seat, faster infotainment, an electric rear window. Improve the turning radius. Work a little harder on the fit and finish.
Conclusion. Well it's a reasonably price pickup truck. Don't expect a Mercedes G wagon experience with this truck. But the truck has met most of my expectations. So I think if you want a naturally aspirated V6 and a old school feeling truck The Price is Right You can definitely pick one up.
Is the new face lift on the Toyota & GM products better well time will tell but I would definitely cross shop this segment before purchasing again.
Would you add anything to this?

I own the dog bone schematic and I have extensively used the chucks of flesh to use at dog house to get a friendly hellhound. I love the hellhound and always try my hardest to keep it alive, I adore him or her.
I did a run in DA and exfil with one of these (I don’t have the schematic) so I thought I try it. I don’t feel it’s as beneficial as I thought. The MERC, whose name was jimmy i believe? He spent more time parachuting in then backing me up. In T2 the gas station by the football field I went from the pumps around the back, he started to follow then despawn and parachuted in again?
In the T2 raid weapon stash by the bridge to T3 - opposite the first dark aether I got on the roof - he hid in a corner down the bottom, the zombies either ignore him or don’t see him - whereas waffles the hellhound usually clears the whole building from top to bottom! During the mission he respawn and parachute next to me, I thought a sign of unity? No, he jumped off the roof and camped in his corner again lol. And when the mangler showed, he run and hid around the corner, waffles gets stuck in.
I also don’t feel the urge to save him like I do with Waffles. Maybe it’s because as a rookie the elites in strongholds down me a lot lol.
Although considering his weapon isn’t pap he killed the zombies with 2 bullets. It looked like his gun was one with a conversion kit?
So, what’s the deal? Have you guys had better luck with your mercs, or is it just me getting the short end of the stick with a sky-loving sidekick?

Are there any supercharger kits that work with the CVT tranny? I saw a few post where HKS supercharger might work both but when i check the website to order they advised manual transmission. So I'm at a lost

Hey everyone. I have a 2014 Mustang V6 premium. I’m looking to build the car (swap V6 to 5.0 or possibly 5.8 supercharged) and I’ve never done anything like it. I’d be ok with taking it to a shop but would rather try to learn to do it myself. Trying to figure out everything I’d have to do to it. Engine, transmission, harness, ECU, fuel pump, fuel tank (maybe), rear diff, brakes, and suspension. I’m not sure if there’s anything else I’m missing but any help/links/guides would be much appreciated. I know people are going to say ‘just buy one’ but the car has a lot of sentimental value that’s why I’m not just going out and buying one

Hello, first post here because I just got into a 2011 XF 3L V6 Diesel.
I picked mine up for a steal because it had restricted performance when going over 3,000 rpm. It's a common issue, and I've read about changing sensors and hoses.
I want to get this done and out the way, is there a kit or somewhere to buy parts so I can get this fixed up and ready for it's new lease or life?

Heres my idea for an open world crime based action adventure game:
I want a modern open world game with modern graphics, modern physics, driving and combat mechanics, the whole 9 yards, but it takes place in New Orleans LA in the Early 2000’s, the game would have hundreds and hundreds of licensed cars, licensed songs ALL period correct and as many licensed brands as i can get in the game to make the setting more resemble real life, we’ve seen so many fantasy brands and fake cities and companies based off real life companies and i want to change that, i want all electronics of the era to be 100% accessible and usable in the game, everything from Motorola Razr’s, PDA’s, Laptops and The Internet in FULL early 2000’s style, Alpine and Sony X-Plod Car Headunits etc
Im going to say this now: there would be ZERO references or mentions of Hurricane Katrina in this game, the timeline would be 2002 to Summer 2005 before Katrina, Katrina wouldn’t be mentioned as it wouldn’t exist
The story is about a young transgender woman in her 20’s who lives in the Lower 9th Ward of New Orleans, she drives a beat up 80’s-Early 90’s Pontiac at the start of the game and lives with her sister, at the beginning of the game nobody respects her, misgenders her and deadnames her, the idea is to hit the nail on the head with how trans people are treated on a daily basis, she progresses through the underground hustling ranks of New Orleans after being offered a job and proves to be someone who will go to great lengths to get the job done, everything from street racing in a scene that fully captures Early 2000’s tuner culture, winning cars in pinkslip races, shootouts from deals gone bad in nightclubs, encounters with corrupt police officers etc, at the end of the game shes a wealthy kingpin in the city and has earned the respect of mostly everyone and everyone speaks highly of her, i also want to slip in alot of little references to games and franchises i love like Earthbound, Clock Tower, Tony Hawk’s Underground 2, 2 Fast 2 Furious, Bad Boys, Need For Speed etc and make the user interface and menus feel like its from the Early 2000’s but also pay homage and respect to New Orleans Mardi Gras and jazz culture and for the world to be crammed full of life with NPC’s, animals, weather, random events, random encounters and interactions and basically how it would be in real life
The map i want to be the most accurate virtual recreation of New Orleans ever done just circa 2002-2005, i want as many enterable interiors in the game as possible, i want to include everything from Jazzland Theme Park, the Bayou areas, Lake Pontchatrain, East New Orleans, The SuperDome, the then New Orleans Arena next door, Shopping Malls, Car Dealerships for each brand in the game, Upper class Neighborhoods, Trailer Parks, Nightclubs, bars and of course the French quarter and Canal Street
I also want to take customization to a whole new level, give a Sims like ability to customize, furnish and build your home and character however you like, and of course the Early 2000’s fashion will be in full swing here, i want the most in-depth car customization of any game ever, its the early 2000’s after all, i want body kits, bumpers, hoods, wings, headlights and tail lights, the ability to customize the headunit in your car, put subwoofers in the trunk, rims, spinners, donks, lambo doors, underglow and of course in depth performance upgrades ALL parts be name brand, like Bomex body kits, TYC tail lights, JL Audio Amps, Subwoofers, Lowenhart, Lexani, Asanti, DUB and TIS rims, APR aluminum wings etc, i basically want to make the customization in Need For Speed Underground 2 look like a mobile game
And the car list, i want to have over 600 fully licensed cars in the game minimum and be fully customizable down to every single part, since the plot of the game starts in 2002 and ends in 2005, i want NOTHING newer than 2006 in the game
Cadillac Escalade, Hummer H2 and Chrysler 300C are a must, but i also want to have the 99-04 Mustang, both V6 and GT, Ferrari 360 Modena, Spider and Challenge Stradale, Ferrari 550, Lamborghini Murcièlago and Gallardo, but also include more common lesser loved cars like the Chevy Cavalier, Pontiac Sunfire, Pontiac Grand Am, Geo Metro, Dodge Neon, Chrysler Concorde, Chevy Celebrity, Ford Taurus etc, and of course i’ll have bikes, boats, planes, helicopters and all other types of vehicles
Yeah its a GTA/Saints Row type game, but i want to raise the bar, push boundaries and do something different thats never been done before

Issue with vehicle running lean at idle and highway speeds if you have any I sight and don't want to read the whole thing
So i have a question, hoping someone might have some insight. I recently bought a modded 2012. Didnt know exactly what was done besides the usual. Well I thought that the snout bearing and/or isolator was going bad so I ordered a gm snout kit amd proceeded to attempt an install. Got the supercharger off to find it has a solid isolator already but more importantly, the snout and blower are ported. Meaning I cannot just install the new snout.
So I resealed the snout and supercharger to vehicle. I also installed a flex fuel sensor at the same time. After I was done drove vehicle to find it went lean. Hp tuners says fuel trims defaulted to zero and vehicle is running off of mass airflow. Defaulted to no fuel trims is another issue altogether. The main concern is when it does read it is +24 to +30 fuel trims in both banks. I already was home at this point so I had limited tools. Started spraying around with carb cleaner thinking I messed up a seal or sealant. No change when spraying around, but I couldn't quite get to the underside. Next, I unplugged the mass airflow sensor to find fuel trims return to normal. This tells me either the sensor went bad for some reason or there is unmetered air in the engine. I did some more looking around at my vacuum lines and everything but nothing came up. Blocked off evap purge and pcv system, no change. Removed and plugged vacuum lines to the vacuum actuator, no change. Finally removed supercharger again and inspected all my sealant, and everything looked good but I resealed it anyway.
Fuel trims are still high, mostly around +25. Brought it in and connected a power smoke machine to it set at 5psi. Can only see some coming out of the air raid intake pcv port. Sealed up the port and reinstalled, no change. Mass airflow at idle before was 2.1 lb/hr and now it is 1.9 lb/hr
Only thing I can think of at this point is something was wrong before and it was tuned for whatever was wrong and now that I "fixed" something it is now tuned incorrectly. Posting this on hp tuners as well but figured maybe someone has some Information

Hello everyone! I have a 1998 Honda accord v6 coupe in my possession and its great, however:
ISSUE 1.
The 4 speed AUTOMATIC transmission is at the end of its life and I was wondering if it would be possible to just buy a repair kit or something to fix the transmission as I heard it was common, if not then what exactly in the transmission went wrong? Maybe I could fix it my self.
ISSUE 2.
The 6th generation Honda accord is also known to have a flaw in the AC unit that would make water fall onto the front subframe which causes the front subframe to rust, I was wondering if there was a way to stop the AC unit from "leaking" water as I'm going to replace the front subframe and to not want to buy another one after the new one is installed, thanks thats all for now.

So I'm picking up a 98 Cobra tomorrow. The previous owner had a c head swap done to it by a shop and wanted to know what options that opened up in terms of superchargers, specifically twin screws. Will kits made for 99-04 work? Or would I have to buy parts individually and get custom fab work done?

As a New-ish listener I don't remember the video coming out and I never got to watch it on MTV. I prefer to listen to music by album and then watch the videos. When watching the video for Afterlife off their official YouTube channel, I noticed that the bridge is completely skipped and it goes straight from the chorus to the solo.
Was this always like this or just changed for YouTube. Either way, how come? It's my personal favourite part of the song and was a bit confused. They even gave Jimmy a mic on his kit.

This is regarding a
2000 Toyota Sienna. I don't know what type of engine it has. v6??
The first week of April, I got a new Water pump, Timing belt kit at a mechanic I don't trust all that much because they were on the way when my mini van overheated on the way home. I got a second opinion on price over the phone without him seeing it, and he suggested also replacing serpentine belt(s) and thermostat since it overheated. So I asked for that. When they did the work they claimed that while replacing those belts they had to remove bolts from the alternator or something and the bolts broke because they were rusted, and then had to put in a new alternator but "wouldn't charge me" for that.
Now, a month later, a few days ago my daughter drove it to her placement and back a few hours later... It sat in the drive for 2 hours then she tried to go somewhere else and it wouldn't even turn over. I don't know what's going on but I think it might be related to that alternator.
I'm not sure if I should take it back to that original person or take it to my usual mechanic that I trust... If I take it to the original place I would ask that they fix it for no charge if its related to the alternator but I don't trust them to tell me the truth now. I'm not sure how to find out if its related to the original work so I can ask for them to make good on it, or if its just a fluke.
They claimed they had been working on the van all day when I clearly saw it in their parking lot until at least 11 am that day. So I have very little trust now.

have a ticking noise on my 09 Honda pilot 3.5 V6 in the front cam towards the timing belt. Timing kit was replaced, marvel mystery oil added but this thing sounds like a Chevy Tahoe that needs valves adjusted. The vcm was just disabled at 175k miles. Is it better to 1) just replace the camshafts 2) camshaft and rockers replaced 3) or buy the whole cylinder head for install?

Getting performance upgrades for a car typically refers to modifications or enhancements made to improve the vehicle's speed, power, handling, and overall performance. These upgrades can include changes to the engine, exhaust system, suspension, brakes, tires, and aerodynamics, among other performance parts.

For example, upgrading the engine might involve installing a more powerful or efficient intake system, upgrading the fuel injectors, or adding a turbocharger or supercharger to increase horsepower and torque. Upgrading the suspension could involve installing stiffer springs, adjustable shock absorbers, or sway bars to improve handling and cornering capabilities. Similarly, upgrading the brakes might involve installing larger brake discs, high-performance brake pads, and upgraded brake lines to improve stopping power and reduce brake fade.

Performance upgrades are aimed at enhancing various aspects of a car's performance to make it faster, more agile, and more enjoyable to drive, whether on the track or the street. However, it is essential to consider the implications of these modifications, whether you are getting engine accessories and upgrades or turbo accessories and upgrades, such as their legality, impact on fuel efficiency, and potential effects on warranty coverage.

What should I consider before getting performance upgrades for my car?
Before getting performance upgrades for your car, there are several important factors to consider:
· Purpose: Determine your goals for upgrading your car's performance. Are you looking to improve acceleration, handling, top speed, or all of the above? Understanding your objectives will help you select the right upgrades.
· Budget: Performance upgrades can range from relatively inexpensive to very costly, depending on the type and extent of modifications. Set a budget for your upgrades and prioritise which modifications are most important to you.
· Legalities: Be aware of the legal requirements and regulations regarding vehicle modifications in your area. Some upgrades, such as engine modifications or changes to exhaust systems, may not be street legal or may require certification for road use.
· Warranty: Consider how performance upgrades may affect your car's warranty. Some modifications could void your manufacturer warranty, while others may not. Check with your vehicle manufacturer or dealer to understand the implications.
· Compatibility: Ensure that the performance upgrades you choose are compatible with your car's make, model, and existing components. Research thoroughly or consult with a knowledgeable mechanic or tuner to avoid compatibility issues.
· Quality and Reputation: Invest in high-quality parts and reputable brands to ensure reliability and performance. Research customer reviews, feedback, and expert opinions to gauge the quality and reliability of the upgrades you are considering.
· Installation and Maintenance: Consider the installation process and ongoing maintenance requirements for the upgrades. Some modifications may require professional installation, while others can be DIY projects. Additionally, factor in the cost and frequency of maintenance to keep your upgraded components in optimal condition.
· Tuning: Many performance upgrades, especially engine-related modifications, may require tuning to optimise performance and ensure proper functionality. Plan for tuning costs and consider consulting with a professional tuner to maximise the benefits of your upgrades.
· Resale Value: Keep in mind that certain performance upgrades may impact the resale value of your car. While enthusiasts may value upgraded performance, mainstream buyers may be wary of heavily modified vehicles.

These considerations can help you make informed decisions about which performance upgrades are right for your car and align with your goals, budget, and preferences.

Popular performance upgrades for vehicles
Several popular performance upgrades for vehicles include:
· Engine Tuning: Engine tuning involves modifying the engine's computer (ECU) to optimise performance, such as increasing horsepower, torque, and throttle response. This can be done through software remapping or installing aftermarket performance chips.
· Intake and Exhaust Systems: Upgrading the intake and exhaust systems can improve airflow, increasing engine efficiency and power. Performance air filters, cold air intakes, and high-flow exhaust systems are common upgrades in this category.
· Turbochargers and Superchargers: Adding a turbocharger or supercharger to the engine can significantly increase horsepower and torque by forcing more air into the combustion chamber. These forced induction systems are popular upgrades for enthusiasts seeking substantial power gains.
· Suspension Upgrades: Upgrading the suspension system can enhance handling, cornering stability, and ride comfort. Options include coilover kits, upgraded springs and shocks, sway bars, and strut tower braces.
· Brake Upgrades: Upgrading the brakes can improve stopping power and reduce brake fade, especially important for high-performance driving. Options include larger brake discs, performance brake pads, and high-performance brake lines.
· Wheels and Tires: Upgrading to lightweight alloy wheels and high-performance tires can improve acceleration, braking, and cornering grip. Plus-sized wheels and wider tires can also enhance the vehicle's appearance.
· Limited-Slip Differentials: Installing a limited-slip differential can improve traction and handling by distributing power more evenly between the driven wheels, reducing wheel spin and improving grip during acceleration and cornering.
· Chassis Bracing: Reinforcing the chassis with braces and bars can improve rigidity, reducing flex and enhancing stability during aggressive driving manoeuvres.
· Aerodynamic Enhancements: Adding aerodynamic components such as spoilers, splitters, and diffusers can improve airflow around the vehicle, reducing drag and increasing stability at high speeds.
· Lightweight Components: Replacing heavy stock components with lightweight alternatives, such as carbon fibre body panels or aluminium suspension parts, can reduce overall vehicle weight, improving acceleration, handling, and fuel efficiency.

These are just a few examples of popular performance upgrades, and the specific upgrades chosen often depend on the vehicle's make, model, intended use, and budget. It is essential to research thoroughly and consult with experts to select the right upgrades for your vehicle and performance goals.
