Default October Car Craft has tips for adding blow-thru superchargers ...

which is what we are thinking about here. Some points they make:

>have the crankshaft snout lengthened to hold the new drivebelt pully

>consider water/alcohol injection to cool the air charge

>rising rate fuel pressure regulation

>blow off valve

>consider twin 3/4" aluminum plates as minimum mounting bracket material, since it has to deal with 50+hp. put stand-offs between the plates and use the space created to install a screw assembly to tighten the drive belt idler wheel.

I have to admit that the link a couple articles down to the rear-mount turbo is veeedddy interstink tho ...

Default I've been reading similar material. The only problems I can see..

are our OBDII electronics getting in the way. for facelift models the air injector pump would also be an issue. We would have to have different fuel maps to run such products.

Default I would go with a centrifugal s/c and find a longer serp belt

For fuel, I have a freind who uses an SMT-6 (its a fuel computer) to control the mixture under boost. He has a ZF Engineering CS/C on his '95 Corrado VR6. He made a custom tooth sprocket/belt drive to replace the factory twin flat belts, while increasing the boost to 13psi (too high, IMHO). Works like a champ. The SMT-6 uses a wideband O2 sensor to monitor the mixture and intercepts the injector signal to modify it for whatever mixture you program.

TIA, NBTYRSP!
