    Re: supercharger weight?

    But I could feel the additional weight sitting behind me , Like to maintain The weight balance between Front And Rear axles ,
    Trying to reduce weight till now
    Quicksilver exhaust could pull down 18 kg
    Stasis brakedisc 1kg on each side. Total 2 kg (inclusive of Titanium lugs)
    Ppi rear Mag 11 Wheels each 1.5 kg Total 3 kg
    Ordered for Ppi Rear Engine Lid with Makrolon Glass reduces weight by 12kg
    The total reduction as of now is =30 kg of static weight
    Moving weight = 5 kg.
    -------
    = 35 kg
    Wanted to know if I had reduced equivalent weight of supercharger and got back to original sporty Front & Rear weight ratio ?

    Well I brought mine over to the UK on a plane and the main unit weighed just over 50lb packed. I suspect it is 20kg or so, but then take off the weight of the OEM manifolds etc. and you probably have an additional 10 -15kg by the time you add in the radiator (in front) and the water tank. Its still lighter than a V10 and faster !

    The VF and the Stasis are the same piece.
