its gonna be hard selling a kit that doesnt have a downpipe, or manifolds/crossover. either way only way you'll get rid of this is if you sell it really low..

Actually Im Grandamgtblk99 on this forum . But yes I do have the manifolds I used.

Honestly, I would steer clear of the RSM kit as the shaft setup is a terrible design. The last RSM kit that I saw was one that had a catastrophic failure. This is why I am working on a custom setup which uses the basic parts from a TRD Scion TC supercharger.

When you add everything up you will see why the RSM kit is destined for failure:

The biggest problem is that the bearing is not pressed onto the drive shaft and the shaft spins inside the bearing. The other major flaw is that RSM only utilizes one 1630 series bearing, which is rated at a max of 6,000 RPM. When you do the math to determine how fast the pulley is spinning you will see that the supercharger pulley is spinning nearly two and a half times faster than the speed rating of the bearing.

Mathematical Calculations:
Crank pulley = 6.5"
RSM supercharger pulley = 2.5"
Shift Point = 5,600 RPM

5600 RPM X 6.5 =36,400
36,400 / 2.5 = 14,560

14,560 RPM is the speed that the supercharger pulley is spinning when the engine is at 5,600 RPM... remember the bearing is rated to 6,000 RPM! This combined with the fact that there is no flex coupling on the drive shaft, and the shaft is not balanced gives cause for catastrophic failure.

buy my turbo kit and the turbo manifolds from grandamgtblk99

will be alot less than a RSM kit or a Eaton kit for sure. Perfect it now upgrade it later
