Sorry, I already did a search.
Im ordering a 4agze this week and just wanted to know what type of supercharger it comes with and how its setup. Also, whats the most boost you can get out of the stock trim SC?
What are some typical things I should look out for (if any) about the motor before it goes in? Will I need motor mounts or will my stock 4afe motor mounts be fine? Seeing as how im not going to touch the boost and keep it stock for a bit.
BTW, this is the best most helpful toyota corolla forum I have ever visited. Thats coming all the way from Chicago. 
Thanks alot,
Matt

Strueth, should check the size of them bloody crocs on the riverbank today!
Are you getting just an engine, or a cut? Also, what car are you putting it in - I'm guessing AE92? Naturally, an AE92 front cut would be the easiest way if that's the case, then a lot of it is just a matter of speding time carefully swapping bits over, hopefully not making too many mistakes, and learning a lot in the process. Oh, and feeling great when you turn the key and the bloody thing actually fires up first go! They come with an SC12 blower, which is a 1200cc roots blower. Setup? They have the throttle before the blower, an electric clutch on the blower pulley, and an ABV (air bypass valve) to let air aronud the blower when it's not being used. There is a small intercooler mounted on top of the engine, fed from a bonnet scoop, and then a crap intake manifold. Boost? Different people give different numbers, but if you change the pulley, you can get 12-14psi, depending on your exhaust, whether you've brushed your teeth, how warm the day is, etc.
Crikeys, I'd best head off now - bloody dingo's tryna get stuck into the neighbour's baby again...
(No, we DON'T like Americans! But hey, spose we can offer a bit of help with the cars every now and then  )

while it's out of the front cut it would pay to get a new timing belt too..just to be on the safe side..and if you get a front cut..get them to start it up for you..make sure it doesn't blow any smoke when they start it up..mine did just a little bit..i just thought it was normal cos it hadn't been started in a while..nope..my valve stem seals are shagged..it uses about half a litre of oil each week!

Only thing is, that every engine I've bought/seen thats done several months of lying around always smokes, burns oil, etc. for the first few days, then after a bit of use, they've always come up great. Even high comp all round, no rattles, good oil pressure, etc. But definately start it up!
