I know this has been done by GMR, however any supercharging that requires water injection, and cannot be done my your local indie, is not completely engineered.
ROUSH is now offering a Supercharged 2017 Mustang with 727 horsepower.
(Pic below)
The Ford factory warranty is void; however these engines are now warranted by ROUSH.
ROUSH also offer superchargers, with the required ECU remapping, for sale to the DIY.
Ford Racing also offers a bolt on supercharger kit for the Mustang 5.0 that delivers 624 HP.
Edelbrock offers bolt on kits for the Camaro and Corvette.
These DYI units do not require the removal of the engine head, different pistons or a change in the compression ratio.
The Mustang engine is similar to the Vantage; they are both V-8 double overhead camshaft engines.
I believe that if ROUSH, Stillen, ProCharger, Edelbrock etc. were to engineer a supercharger kit for the V8 Vantage for approx. $10K it would be a profitable venture.
I certainly would be interested.

 

You have a car with a possible total 11 year production now in the 22,000 range so the market is so limited compared to cars that are built at a rate multiple to the V's total production in any given year. It takes a very specialized enthusiast to engineer a kit together with little chance of showing real profit, and with small numbers come big price tags because you cannot take advantage of economy of scale.

 

I totally agree with you, Supercharger would be nice. I contacted GMR and it can be done by any reputable shop as it's a direct bolt on, only part of installation will be hard is having access to proper tools/computer to do the tune. Better pricing would be nice GMR kit is extremely expensive.

 

Would one of those could be mated to our 4.3/4.7 V8...

No that style won't work, the intake on the our cars is dead centre not angle like the mustang. Take a look at the GMR design.

 

I agree.
Even 10k is a high number compared to SC applications on other, similar engines options. (Ford, GM, BMW, etc.)

The ~30k for a GMR charger could be spend in second car what has the GMR HP.

 

30K for a supercharger make no economic sense. I am waiting for someone to produce a kit that puts the Jaguar supercharged 575 hp engine is a Vantage

 

Or at least the Jaguar AJ-V8 supercharger on a Aston Martin AJ-V8 based engine!

 

This!!

 

Centrifugal supercharging can be an option. Vortech and Rotrex are both units I'm familiar with. These units however will not provide the low end "grunty feel" associated with an XK/XJR, but a more linear feel and get exciting near the higher revs.

4-6 psi should make for an exciting amount of power without stressing the factory plenum and seals too much

 

One guy on FB, I think he posted on 6speed as well, is working on a whipple SC setup for his 07 Vantage.

 

how about

 

 

 

Just got an E-Mail from GMR as I'm trying to get Aston Martin Minneapolis to become an install center and dealer - they are looking for USA dealers - so pass that along! A tremendous solution for out of warranty older V8's.
