Supercharger made in Perth. Anyone know ??? - Louwai - 21-12-2007
HERE'S ANOTHER BIT OF INFO I FOUND ON THE US BUSA SITE. ANY OF YOU GUYS IN WA KNOW ABOUT THESE????
I have been thinking about this for TWO WEEKS !!
A company in Perth, Australia called Vee Two makes a supercharger for the Ducati 999 !
OK , it's evidently a test bed, but after reading about it in Sports Rider I just can't get it out of my head for the Busa. Simple addition, NO fuel changes like a Turbo, NO heat issues like a Turbo, and a simple addition and linkage. Not like all the other Supercharges I've seen which widens the gearing side of the bike. But, in street conditions the Duc went from 140 Hp to 205 hp, with max torque starting at 3000 rpm and carrying it on up ! Now that's street power I could consider .
SO, Aussi's, you guys know anything about this Company ? The Aritcle says they make turbos for cars (Company is sub of Automotive Components in Malaga - a suburb of Perth) and is the largest maker of Superchargers in Australia. They go by the name of Sprintex and make superchargers for both Automotive and Industrial use. I just wonder what the price is, because the photos and article make it one SWEET instalation !

Sprintex probably,
Same fuel issues with a supercharger as a turbo, if you want hp and add more air you need more fuel .
If i were to supercharge a bike i would look at the Rotorex , smaller,

I think there's a sprintex been fitted to a busa in your area , no streetbike though.

Vee Two was started by a Kiwi many years ago and specialised in Ductai parts and then made his own bike called the Swallow.
The company that owns Sprintex bought him out a year or two ago and hence the bikes sporting sprintex chargers you'll see here and there. Sprintex is owned by Harrop??? Not sure but there's links in the group to V8 car engines too.
Up in Malaga and worth a visit if you're over here.
Sheds full of toys!!
