everybody only turbos them...

 

there has been a shop that was trying to SC a KA .. but never happen ...

been thought by many individuals and never happens .. if i'm correct. it doesn't fit

 

doo doo mike almost did it, had the vortech or paxton centrifugal already. it would be rather easy to run a low boost setup with 370's, hacked mafs or s-afc. all you need is a good header and exhaust, and intake and charge piping.

the hardest part is fabricating a bracket to hold the compressor unit, and fabricating a new pulley to drive it off of. then find a belt thats in that length.

it's probably cheaper to do a t25 ka setup.

 

Exactly, there is no room for a supercharger really...it would have to be some crazy fabrication in order to make it work properly...would be cool to see done though

 

actually, get rid of the stock airbox, clutch fan and shroud, and theres plenty of room to have a supercharger and piping fit in there. just have to clearance it to avoid the backside hitting the distributor, and keeping it above the power steering pump, but low enough for the hood to close. (yet sticking out of the hood might look kinda odd, yet mean hehe)

its all in the fabrication of the bracket. technically, if someone wasnt running A/C, they could use the A/C compressor bracket to mock it up and fit it down there (as long as you dont pick out the biggest damn centrifugal s/c out there). have the compressor outlet pointing up or towards the stock airbox area, which would make routing a front mount intercooler setup really easy...and then have the intake come in from the stock location, might have to utilize a 45 or 90 degree bend to get the air in...or run a blow through MAFs setup and just get a screen/filter for the s/c itself.

if it were able to work down there it would still be high enough to clear ground debris (but a filter or intake pipe would be required for longevity) and the pullies/belt would be easy to line up/fabricate.

 

i already desighned a s/c kit for the ka and it would be dirt cheap. its actually what i want to do but i don't want to give up my a/c. which is the only draw back!! i figure i could have a s/c'ed ka for under 1000 bucks maybe less. ofcoarse i'm not going to just throw my idea out there for people to steal, but it uses a roots type blower and its intercooled!!!!! all you have to do is give up your a/c and you have a free belt to use. i figured 370's, 10psi should give over 220hp, maybe more. lots of TQ!!!!!

 

Damn, had I known that I would have went that route instead of the KA-T (in the process). I dont have a/c as it is. Would have costed me about the same thing (under $1000) but probably would have more power. Oh well, we'll see how this turns out.

 

is the sc14 off a previa useable for a setup like this, they go for pretty cheep

 

SSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!:bbb:
