H3 "Super Charged"

Check this out! Just got my H3 back from a close buddy of mine who said he could "juice" up my Hummer....he was right! Check it out!

TMan

hey very nice setup. What kind of supercharger is that? where can i find it? and how much?
Also do you know if there are any programmers out for the H3 yet?
get back with me ASAP
thanks

Looks pretty nice. Can you tell us the specs?

do you have any additional information on this superchargers, gains, brand, easy of installation

What did you do with the Coolant overflow tank and Windshield Washer solution reservoir?

how much more power do you get you must notice a big differance

If you add a supercharger and you dont notice a big difference there must be something wrong. I read something that the supercharger will give you a 40-50% power increase. 320 horses should be nice.

I put a supercharged in my h3. It cost about 7800.00 installed. it gives 315hp.
you can buy them at www.teakatoys.com

YOU SAID 315 HP

I think a powerboost like that is definitely worth a couple thousand bucks. But if you bought that supercharger for $4,900 means you payed almost 3 grand for installation and since they say on their website:

Can be installed in as little as 2 1/2 hours

So isn't that a bit much?

The website does say it takes 2 1/2 hours to install the supercharger, but it actually takes 10 hours to install. If you call Predator Motorsport directly they will you that too. It is 308 HP but if you add the aftermarket exhaust it gains another 15% and brings it to 315-320 HP..

Here's another example, I also put on clearance lights on my H3 and the manufacturer says it will take 1 1/2 hours to install. I had a Hummer Technician put them on and it took a total of 6 hours. So it ended up costing me $415.00 for the lights and $590.00 in labor..

So how is the ride now? Do you get somewhat of a kick now when you floor it? I dont mean like a sportscar of course, but compared to a regualr h3.
They say it gets you better mileage. Have you experienced this?

And do you know if this will hurt the engine with this extra boost? What about warranty? Did you have to retune the ECU? Please expand on the performance, Before and After type examples.

POST some pictures too..Thanks

The nature of superchargers will not give you that "kick in the pants" powerband. Superchargers are VERY linear, so while you WILL feel a difference in power, its not going to be that sudden snap your neck that a Turbo will give you.

That installation cost still seems WAY excessive. You said 10 hrs install time and 2800 labor? $280.00 per hour labor???! Or are we missing something here?

I'd love to have an extra ~90 HP, but for that cost...yikes.

I'd still like to know why GM dropped the Turbo solution that was on the prototype H3 one the car show circuit in 04.

TMan,

It goes even faster if you hook up the supercharger belt!

I've been trying to get a hold of one from Predator for a while, since back in January to be exact. Are they available now? Last I checked they are still on back order...am I missing something?

Very nice, what kind of gain did you achieve? Also, is the supercharger a kit?

Needs a aftercooler in Arizona with some sort of cold air box. I think a roots syle would work beter on that motor for lower end power, or a turbo.

i checked and they are still on backorder,

is there anyone else on this site with one of these??
this is the only place on the internet i could find someone actually with a supercharger on an H3.

my question to them is
What change did you see in MPG???

i just called Predator Motorsports, this is the co. who TeakaToys ad says makes the kit advertised on their site Dennis linked to,
i was told "we do not have a release date, we've been told since Dec last year, but the guy was a one man band and we are not going to deal with people like that"
whick leads us to assume that, they (Predator) are not making a kit,
i was also told "once we have kits (superchargers) for the H3 we will sell whatever is available."
i then called TeakaToys who said they've been waiting for the kits since Novermber... and thought the main reason for the delays and lack of companies offer an SC for the H3 was because of rumors over a V8 in the next year or 2 and they(SC mfg.s) would not want to make an SC for just 1 or 2 years of an engine...

So i'd like to know where the 2 guys that have the superchargers that posted here got theirs and how?
unless they know the guy who was fabricating the kits i can't see how...

i have done tons of searching for an H3 supercharger kit, and i called several supercharger manufacturers and all say either nothing or "we're working on it" but NO idea of release date and i get the feeling it is not a high priority...
The 2 guys who posted here are the ONLY people on the net i could find actually saying/showing superchargers on a H3!

if i'm missing something, then please anyone chime in!

Thanks!
