ive been throwing around different ideas of doing something different with my 200sx and i think ive finally came up with something. im thinking of charging my 1.6. looking at the engine bay it is completely possible. delete the a/c, move the alternator to where the ac was using a bracket, supercharger sits where the alternator use to be using a custom bracket, remove windshiled washer tank and enlarge the hole for a cold air sorce, run piping to intercooler and up to the mass air. i wont be starting on this project (if i ever do) for a few months...but it is completely possible to do. my only concern is the proximity to the header and if a centrifugal blower will fit...might have to end up using a roots blower so i can use the same belt though. anyone else ever thought about this?
a supercharger on a V8 is FAR different from one on a 4 banger.
wanna have tons of low end power and jack at the top where we all need it? get a supercharger. Just because it hasn't been done yet doesn't mean it's a good idea to do
I gotta stick with Mike and Mike. Just the cost of the RnD on that would be $$$$$. Like Mike said turbo's are way more efficent.

it depends on what type and what model blower you go with. my friends are very knowledgable about them. like i said i might not even do it..just one of those things i was thinking about but i seriously think i am going to try. thanks for your feedback though. i do know what you mean about just bc it hasnt been done doesnt mean it should.
FWIW, ive seen the air intake air temps on the jackson racing supercharger (honda app no IC) as high as 180deg. fitting an IC with a supercharger is more difficult sometimes, especially with a roots type blower. plus, IMO, turbos make cooler sounds than the whine of a supercharger
after more thought the blower will have to be where the battery is and ran off of a shaft such as on some s/c'ed hondas. i think turbos sound cooler too...but the quote in your sig javier is why im thinking of doing this.
running a sc on a 1.6 is definitely doable....there's plenty of room. right, nothings impossible, just sometimes really expensive! its just that a small turbo (t25) on the 1.6 responds very quickly with good torque
Linear Mode
