Hi there,i'm new to the supercharger scene,and i was looking around for superchargers,and the novi 1000 keapt popping up.So i'm VERY interested in one of those.I don't need too much power,it's gonna be a daily driven car,but my question is.How much would a novi 1000 set me back for a 2000 gt?I guess a used one would be better because they're cheaper :D.Any information would be apreciated.
The Novi 1000 is a pretty inexpensive blower with a good amount of potential. I would just get a new one, that way you can be
sure everything is ok with it. But if you do get a used one, make sure it's the revised(2 belt) style. Go check out FourValve.com. That's where I got my Novi from. They have the best pricing I know of.
They don't seem to have any superchargers at that site right now,so i'll keep checking with em.Also what's the difference between the old and the revied novi 1000?
someone please correct me if I am wrong but I think that all SC kits for the 98+GT's all use a single 6rib belt set up. The older Novi 1000 kits for the Fox Bodied Mustangs also used a 6 rib single belt set up. The new Foxbody kits are a 8 rib set up with a seperate drive belt.
Also,is a bypass valve included in a new package?And is a by pass valve on a supercharger the same as a blow off valve on a turbo?And does it make the same sound?
As far as I know, the revised kit does not include a bypass valve.
Bypass & Blow-off are similiar but different (see below)
No they will not have the same sound. The bypass valve is a closed loop whereas the blow-off is an open loop system. Meaning a bypass valve recirculates the air back into the system after the MAF, while a blow-off valve simply vents the excess pressure to atmoshphere. Did that make sense??
That was as clear as ........... :confused: .......well something that is really clear. :D Anyway,as i was reading around this board i noticed that some people have an idle problem after the supercharger install,and that a by pass valve fixes that problem.What bypass valve can i get to have a direct bolt on?

Yeah, looks like the site no longer has any products :hmm: I guess he doesn't want to sell parts anymore. Good luck with your blower search.
Actually i e-mailed them,and they said a novi 1k is $3000 and a novi 2k is $4450.I got time though so i'll keep looking for other places too.
goodness that's high. Try www.musclemotors.com. They were selling 2k kits for <3000 including shipping recently.Quote:

I really enjoy my s/c. It really wakes up that old pushrod motor.
I already went to musclemotors.com,but they don't have any prices online.Or at least i couldn't find em.So i e-mailed em a few minutes ago.I'm waiting for a reply now.Also i made a mistake.The $4450 was actually supposed to be a $3450.
Jeez...that's a lot more than I thought it would be.
Do not give ~$3450 for a 1k, at that price you'd be damn close to a single turbo set-up. Try e-mailing Jack (musclemotors) at this addy: jack@musclemotors.com
He ususally responds pretty quick at this addy.
Yeah i wish i could get a turbo,but no one sells them>And if they do they're twin turbo set ups for over 6 gtand.I'm more familiar with turbos,but superchargers are cheaper.And yeah i'll try that e-mail,thanks.
Here's another one for you guys.How much RWHP could i expect with a novi 1000,diablo chip,mac off road x pipe,and a magnaflow cat back?And how much RWHP can i safely run without blowing something up? :D
More than likely.... more than you have now :D My apologies but, it is much too difficult for anyone on these boards to "guess" at one's RWHP with such and such mod's. The Novi 1000 is usually good for 60-70 RWHP in it's own in stock trim.
You can run as much RWHP safely as you want w/o exceeding the limits of any given component that propels your car from point "a" to point "b" My reponse may be rough, but not meant to offend you or any other's in the quest for more H/P.
9 times outta 10, you can't tell what'll work & won't work until you take it to the track and have some bone-fide hard proof of what does. IMHO dyno numbers don't mean a whole lot unless you can back it up at the track.
Yeah i guess i'll have to wait and see then. :)
With the stock pulleys you will see about 290-310 RWHP. Some guys around here are running double digit boost levels with stock long blocks and are running fine, but to answer your question I would say you could safely run 350-380 RWHP without running the chance of blowing your block apart. Assuming that it is properly tuned.
Try www.superchargersonline.com for a new 1k. They're around $1800.
Yeah maybe for an older 5.0,but superchargers for a modular are expensive.WAY too expensive. :)
Oops, sorry. :bonk:
jaegermeister,
I formally would like to publically apologize for the harshness of my post above, I just re-read what I wrote again today nad realized that I came off like a total Di*k. While some of it did bear some truth I did not express it in a professional manner.
Anyways, with that said. Welcome to Novipower and I hope that you continue to add to our site.
there was someone who used to frequent this site alot and i think he made 312hp @ the tires? maybe it was more. I can't remember his screen name.
Don't worry about it.I know what you were trying to say.And you're right.Quote:

And regattacoupe thanks for the link.
I talked to musclemotors.com,and they also sell those vortech tuner kits.From what they've told me the tuner kits don't include a chip,bigger injectors,and a vortech intake and fuel pump assm.Will the car work without those things?I mean i already have a chip in my car(Not tuned for the supercharger though),and my injectors shouldn't be a problem untill i want more boost right?I know you guys are all about novi power,but i just though i'd ask.
my novi 2k kit didn't include chip, injectors, etc but did include larger fuel pump and FMU. You don't need larger injectors to start, but it doesn't take much more to make you need them.
You can generally find good prices for fuel injectors b/c people are always upgrading to larger sizes.
I would definitely make sure to have a larger fuel pump-don't starve your engine!!!!! They have a word for those people--pedestrian :D
My kit came with a 190lph but a lot of people recommend the 255s.
edit-my car is an 89; I don't know what you have so I don't know if what I said applies to you
