Question about supercharger on K24 Atoms.....

[Elonheater32]

Hey guys, I have tried to Google this a few times and looked on the forums on the year by year changes and still cannot find out what supercharger is used on the 2013 Ariel Atom 3. I am thinking about purchasing a supercharged Atom 3 and would like to research what can be achieved by tuning this as far as tune, pulley, injectors, etc. I was curious as to if it is possible to get about 50 to 70 hp out of this engine without going into the engine or changing out the factory supercharger. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Elon, the factory used old Jackson racing style supercharger (eaton-type) which was discontinued by JR. I am getting a supercharger kit for my NA 2015 atom. I'm going mostly with another gents set-up; a CT-e supercharger stage 1 plus plus (using a pulley size of 3.4" instead of 3.6").

Any information out there on tuning the K24 with the factory old Jackson racing style supercharger?

I have been working with 2 companies to do a k24 Rolex supercharger kit. One company TTRS has the kit available, the only reason I haven't ordered this is because they are in England and support and parts would take a while to get here. The other is here in la and they want to start to produce kits. I think if we get a few cars to order we can get a good price.
Please im me if you are seriously interested and we can set it up.

Supercharger, instant & linear power ----- but I like turbo, oh I also like hi-reviving engine, K20z3 for me......i don't know why.

What I was asking is how can I increase power using the EXISTING supercharger that came from TMI on the k24 engine. If I was going to buy an entirely different power adder then I would just buy a naturally aspirated k24 and put on a turbo kit on it for serious power. I am not doing that as it would affect resale as people would view it as being "seriously modded".
I am looking for how I can tune/add more power using the current supercharger.

You can install a smaller supercharger pulley to increase the boost -- but be very careful to overrun the supercharger & burn the bearing.
If done right, I don't think you are doing a disservice to your atom installing a forced induction system.
I don't believe it will affect the resale value either, it will be a plus.

@xoxojjffpp7, you are the very first person that has said that modding would not hurt resale. It makes me feel good that there is at least one person that feels that way given the mods are done right by a professional.
My initial plan was to buy a NA K24 powered Atom 3 and put a turbo kit on it making about 650 hp or 500 whp. I would have the motor built to handle the boost and have the tranny beefed up. It seemed as if everybody's take on this was that when it came time to resale it.... Nobody would be interested as it was heavily modded and a "ticking time bomb".

I think you building a 500whp atom you would lose a lot in resale. Doing a 300whp car I think you'd be ok

I agree with Gare...between 300 to 350 will be an ideal power in forced induction.....500 - 600 is for dyno queen & a useless atom.
