I'm making one right now. This is the supercharger that is going to be used http://www.southfloridapulleyhq.com/products_sc.htm. It is going to be mounted above the tranny with a custom bracket. You will also need a custom driveshaft and pulley so it can turn off the alternator belt. The M90 SC is capable of flowing 280-290hp at the crank with a good IC.
EDIT: It was supposed to be a joke but I guess its on me :(.

Nismo - how come you decided to go with a roots blower? Just to help out the bottom end. I would thought a centrifugal would be better suited to this higher revving applications.

Opps I forgot to put the smiles in the first post :o. I have no intensions of supercharging the car. After all I have a n2o ECU to use instead. Now I toyed with the idea after seeing the comptech SC for the V6 accords and how its mounted. Also I seen several SC at a junkyard selling for cheap. I don't have enough connections to even begin a project, much less see it through.

all else being equal, superchargers suck butt for performance compared to a turbo. For any supercharger system you can devise for an SR20, there will always be a turbo setup with equal or better response, much better efficiency, less parasitic drag, greater power potential, and likely less cost.

There was a person on the forum who was going to try a charger from a Mercedes CLK compressor. It would eliminate the ac. Maybe he will chime in.

I thought I had seen a supercharged SR20 before. Was it Area 51 Fabrications that had (has?) one?
