What's the status of the DASC group buy? Last post was almost a month ago. |  | | | 03-02-2005, 08:32 PM | #17 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Columbia, SC Posts: 528 |
When are you planning on doing the buy? I'd have to scrape the money together, but I wanna S/C. | | | | | 03-03-2005, 08:54 AM | #18 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: Portland, Oregon Posts: 484 |
It has been a while. I'd figure people are still scraping for some cash  | | | | | 03-05-2005, 12:40 AM | #19 | | Junior Member Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Tampa, Florida Posts: 27 |
Hello all,
If this is still a go, please add my name to the list.
The last quote I received directly from Downing was $3,395, back in Aug '04, so I'm thinking any price lower than $2,500 would be a deal.
I've never run across a used unit - anyone ever seen one for sale?
Thanks... | | | | | 03-05-2005, 01:19 AM | #20 | | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2005 Location: Cola. SC Posts: 344 |
that's a good thing, isn't it? | | | | | 03-05-2005, 05:52 AM | #21 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: Portland, Oregon Posts: 484 |
The last email Jim Goodroe sent me a few days ago, the DASC kit was running for $3,395 plus $55 shipping. I will be calling downing atlanta my self this coming monday 3/7/05, to personally inquire on the specifics of a group buy. I will keep everyone updated. For the members who are interested hope I can get something accomplished. If not then I guess I will be forkin up money for the retail price.

Also, out of curiosity, the price of the s/c, does it include necessary upgrades to the motor to handle the boost? If so, how much boost can it handle? I'm just thinking like if it doesn't include any other upgrades and it's just an s/c, we wouldn't want to run anymore than 5-7 psi... I'd rather get more out of my money but I guess that's a lot to ask. If it doesn't come with anything more than the s/c, can you bump up the boost to 10-15 if you purchase necessary parts personally? Someone who knows what they're talking about, I would appreciate if you let me know, because I really don't know jack about s/c's, other than that I want one. EDIT: Ok so I just checked the website for Downing/Atlanta... OMFG... over 200hp? No intercooler necessary? Original question still stands though, no other changes necessary? Like I said, I don't know much about it, but I thought if you were changing engine performance that drastically, you needed all sorts of new stuff... piston rods, etc... stuff of that nature Also, anyone know if I can run my CAI with it? __________________ ---------------------------------------

There are a lot of posts on here, and lots of happy DASC users. If I'm not mistaken, the SC just bolts on and doesn't require too much modification to what's already there. There was someone posting a while back about making a new pulley that would create more boost, so you might want to search for that. | | | | | 03-16-2005, 07:24 PM | #27 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Garden City, NY/Daytona Beach, FL Posts: 228 |

The only hesitation I have about doing serious stuff to my engine is that it's still under warranty... for 3 more years! I feel like I should blow it up, or wait it out. But I really don't want to wait. I want to go home, and ask my silly v-dub friends if they want to go racing. Then I want to beat the pants off of them a couple of times, and ask if something happened to their cars? They used to be faster than mine... something must be wrong. I don't think I'd even tell them I supercharged it... wait for them to figure it out! haha __________________ ---------------------------------------

Pulleys increase boost, someone was also prototyping an intercooler. Search on the Yahoo archive for actual performance numbers. Most people just run the DASC as is though. __________________
