Yeah I've seen a ludicrous front mount setup with piping running through the cabin! I'm not keen on this joint's prices. I mean I'm no expert but in all seriousness, what has to be done that is worth $4500 without ecu? The SC14 is only $3-400, I'm sure I could get a metal fabrication place to make up a simple bracket or do it myself. Piping's another issue but surely not worth much more than $500? I'd assume I could run it in line with the aircon (longer belt obviously), I'd also like to source a check valve so I can use the inbuilt clutch to engange and disengage the s/c from inside the cabin, Mad Max style. Anyone know where I can find one? It would be great for fuel economy, rainy days, etc. The guy in the US has fabricated his brackets but the s/c will be protruding through the engine lid by about an inch, so he is making up a little fiberglass bubble to cover it. As far as cooler goes, I have seen MKIII supra ones for $100-150 and a MKIV one for $150. They do recommend the rx7 cooler for some reason, but I can't see it costing any more than that. Piping and mounting, I have no idea how much this would cost to make up, $500-700? I'm not after anything showy. Does anyone have a ballpark figure, say if somebody has supercharged a 4A-GE for example? Then ecu, well, that sux if you can't piggy back onto the stock one. I'll have to do some more research on this. Can anybody suggest something with injectors/fuel rail? I'm sure I could pick up some higher rated second hand ones from a different engine. I've found two guys in Sweden with supercharged 3S-GEs in their MR2s using the Ludi Motorsports kit which is even more expensive than the Blitz kit ($US6000). Both cars are making 240hp (I assume that's at the crank but haven't confirmed yet). They are going to email me some pics which will give a good idea of placement and mounting brackets. I'll post them up here. Don't get me wrong, I would love to have the same thing as everybody else (I'm driving a Falcon GLi atm for crying out loud). I am not out to get attention or be a pioneer.... I just really cannot stand turbo lag or the hassles of owning a grey import. Cheers. [Updated on: Tue, 07 January 2003 01:44] [Report message to a moderator]
