Thread: Thoughts opinions on supercharger VE setup.

you will have more boost sooner with a small turbo than that charger. I don't think it would be a bad idea to use the charger, but it will not be cheaper than a turbo setup, unless you have crazy fab skills and even then I am not sure it would be cheaper. You have to account for your time as money also, would be cool but not cheap or easy in anyway.

VORTECH sells a similar kit like above but for 99 civic si.. with 2 brackets made it could fit an work..

the centri is not less efficient than a twinscrew or Eaton style blower just build power way different. twin screws and centri are very close in efficiency eaton's arnt as good unless your using a TVS unit like on the new ZR1.

meh just turbo it

I think it'd be crazy. If this gets made, I'd want one for me VE. I was thinking of a supercharged VE also, I just don't have mad fab skills.

I like the idea of a supercharged ve. i hope you can do it and post numbers.

This has been done years ago from some guys in CT. They made about 318hp.

Yea They Used A Mercedes Kompressor Supercharger And Slapped It In The Place Of The A/c Compressor

The v6 mercedes superchargers are screw blowers too, so they would be pretty sweet to use.
The 4 cyl ones only use a little eaton which aren't as effecient.
Not sure which one the used but 318hp is nothing to sneeze at!

I used the 2.3L kompressor one on a ga16, but ran like 7psi at idle and 23psi by 2500rpm, with a therotical 58psi at redline lol
