Wow, that is pretty light. I mean, the 3SGE engine is freaking heavy for a 4 banger. I mean, its not like super heavy, but by no means is it light enough that you want to try to lift it by hand...well, move it by hand since it's a drop down engine. This is interesting.

i should have weighed the supercharger when i had it off. For its size that thing weighs quite a bit.

Ya, that looks like a serious chunk of metal (I am assuming its a safety feature, like if a rotor where to blow loose, the casing should hold it in).

Hahaha, that guy shouldn't have launched that low with the nitrous activated. User error is the fault of most nitrous mishaps...

not to get the thread on topic again or anything

but i'm going to be shipping out totally new brackets to everyone, as well as fill the rest of the orders with my new stainless brackets, with the revised design (no mis-fits) by Sunday night, no ifs and's or buts, even if i have to rob the store for a new drill press, they'll be done and shipped out on sunday.
