Theres a few jeep guys running novi setups but you will have to make your own brackets I do believe. A STS setup wouldnt be to bad I wouldnt guess but im leary of drilling and taping the motor for the oil supply and return lines.

This.

Not to mention with as low as you are, with the rear mounted kit you wouldnt be able to drive in the rain. The inlet for the turbo is right under the bed of the truck.

They have the snorkel kit for the intake for the turbo that STS now recomends. Ya have to plan on a SC being instant boost and a turbo being a lag on boost.

paxton nuvi 1200 i believe about 10 made. They come up for sale everyone in a while. GL finding one, the two or so that were not with real solid owners and were sold a couple times in the last year have been installed and successfully tuned and owners are loving them. I would just get a STS rear mount turbo and call it a day.

^^ this ^^

Seriously? No one makes a supercharger for a 4.7? Yet I can buy one for my motorcycle.

 

[moparman33]

thats sucks that the aftermarket support is not that strong for the 4.7

 

[moparman33]

i was looking online and saw adamsredlines install of the sts system on his ram. now he had the turbo that has the return as well as the intake lines. now ive been looking around and seen a paxton novi sl(self lubricating), now im wonderin if instead of runnin the rear turbo system, going to the adapter kit talked about on the 1st page of this thread and following the lines of what airram was doin.

 

[moparman33]

now i know he ran into problems with his turbo and decided in the end to just swap to a 5.7. but im startin to think and wonder if he wasnt on the right track

 

[moparman33]

i know that the paxton is a supercharger and the sts is a turbo system

 

[AParrette]

there was a guy that mated an m90 to a generic nissan motor. made an adapter plate out of wood to bolt up to his intake

contact zzp @ ZZPerformance and see if they will give any help

they make the adapter plates to make my car run a ford m112 or a whipple supercharger

however because of the nature of the s/c it will be easier and more cost effective to go turbo.

 

[moparman33]

im trying to lean more towards the supercharger cause its under the hood and less likely to suck up water, mud, etc. i live in kansas and the winters here are none too friendly

summit is still sellin the paxton novi Paxton Automotive Corp. 1001831SL-P - Paxton NOVI SL Supercharger Kits - Overview - SummitRacing.com

i'm all for supers... but in the end you'll want more power (maybe not) and then you'll have to go turbo.

 

[Bagged03Ram22s]

so turbo is the better way to go??? Well in our situation i should add

 

[AParrette]

unless money is no object or there was a factory bolt up somewhere imho turbo is the way to go.

but adding boost does has its draw backs

 

[moparman33]

either way i look at it, supercharger or turbo is gonna have some sort of draw backs

 

[matt99]

I think turbo is the way to go. And you dont have to worry about the mud/snow unless you are putting it on the frame and the back or mid mounted.

I dunno man. Its a big undertaking but turbo is the way to go for you if they dont make an adapter for it
