OMG beautiful. No, no one on here has that.
That's a much older version of our engines though, it looks like it has the distributor running off the exhaust cam on the front, so that's gotta be like a 626/probe/mx-6 or somethin.
Where did you find that, and did you buy it? I would love to have a roots supercharger kit on my car (with air-water intercooler).. yummmmm

Not all that different in terms of the basics. ECUs don't swap, they have distributors, no cam position sensor or crank position sensor (or at least not the same kind).P5inder said:
To get that to fit, you'd have to get a custom crank pulley made with the teeth for our crank position sensor, but the intake manifold w/ blower would bolt up. Of course it's missing VICS/VTCS, but as long as you leave the solenoids plugged in the ECU won't freak out. I dunno if it's missing any sensors or anything we need or if our throttle bodies would bolt right up to it.. Since they bolt right up to the 626 manifold I'd imagine they would to this. Engine management would have to be pretty custom I'd imagine. Toss a haltech on for fuel/timing control and you'd be set, then mount a wideband in a bung on like your midpipe to monitor things, make sure the pulley on the SC gives you low enough boost, and it would be a nice setup definitely
You'd probably have to lose the stock strut tower brace, but I bet you could still fit a custom one (hopefully). I think you'd definitely lose the cruise control though just because of where the unit is located (right where that SCs pulley sits)

Just like with a turbo...it'd still end up beign about $5000.00 all in...
Worth it, I think...

Good idea imo. You could probably run a slightly different map of unichip fairly easily. And you could stick on an obx header too. that would make some decent gains on the engine and it would fly off the line.

No, I think it would easily be a couple thousand less than that. Superchargers are so much simpler! The one in that pic would add no additional air piping to deal with, you could use your current intake with it... no oil lines to run, no coolant lines to run (except for the air-water intercooler, but no modding of the stock lines needed)..
A supercharger install can be done alone in an afternoon, easily.
You would be the only one on this continent that I am aware of with a roots supercharger.
A guy who was on these forums years back made a centrifugal supercharger kit and was planning on selling it. At I believe 4 or 5psi he was at 160whp without any intercooler. The position of the supercharger dictated removing the power steering and air conditioning though.

Check on the Mazda 626 and Ford Probe forums they both seem to love supercharging their FSDE's as oppouse to turbo (most of the time). They should have a wealth of information.

I can only imagine that punch down low though . If you've got guts why not consider the v6 swap?
