Can I use this supercharger
Some one is selling a eaton m62 supercharger for 150 and in the ad it says it works with all honda/acuras. Is this something I can use and whats needed to make it work for my cl?
It was posted on july 3rd so it could already be gone.I need to know a little about it before even dealing with the seller.

With all the great mods you have done to your CL, you should keep the trend going and go for a Thorton SC. It would fit right in with your other mods, heck you might even be able to give a a nice sparkely paint job too.
Here is thier link!

If that does not work try the Tornado!
But really, no that won't fit you ride, like Raja said its a top mount. Looks like a SC for a F-150 Lightning, or maybe a Thunderchicken.

I dont think fabricating a adapter plate for the top mount would not be the problem.It would be getting the pulley over to the belts. I'm just trying to get something to boost the engine for cheap money.I'm sure in the super charger game everyones droping 4+,and I'm not ready to dump that into this.Hopefully be switching up for a beter ride before next summer. Maybe some spray,thats kinda cheap.

How many miles is a BN comptech good for before needing to be rebuilt ? How many miles did your charger have when you bought for 2000 used? I thought chargers where only good for like 40,000 miles possibly more before needing work.

Yeah its a waste of time if you ask me. I honestly would rather go turbo, sure its a pain to fab headers and downpipes but the power gains and the blow off make it well worth it IMO. Plus you get something not everyone can just bolt on.

Even if you did that, you would have the supercharger sticking out of your hood. No way for it to fit.

yea he still has it. And yes I think it's worth it.
i completely disagree. Yea if you want alot more power but if your not trying to spend as much the s/c is the way to go.

So I did some talking to other people and they told me that the S/C can be mounted anywhere as long as I can get the pulley turning.And the under side(top mount)can be used by fabricating a square with a 3" neck comming off and easy piping so it blows in threw the throttle body.But he said the closer tothe engine the beter.So if a comptech shaft and pulley setup will fit that would be the route I should try first.And if that dont work I can bring it right over to the belts and mount upside down.Can any body can help me with any info before wasting time and money. also I was told this is a 5psi charger capabile of 10psi

Whats up with RDX owners?

Think about space. Go take a look at it, measure it, then measure your engine bay. I dont see the M62 being efficient at 10psi.
Dont forget to include tuning in your price.

I can pick up a complete 350+ HP LS1 with 6 speed trans and low miles for under a grand, but it doesn't mean it's worth it to try to shoehorn it into my S2000 vs spending 4,000 on the supercharger kit to achieve the same thing on the proper motor.

+1 on what he said. If your going to go s/c just buy the kit instead of trying to Jimmy rig that blower that's not made for our model. I just saw in the black market there's a turbo for 2500 shipped for a cl why not invest in that.

There's a reason people go with kits instead of trying to do it all from scratch themselves. Sure you might be able to save a couple bucks if you really know what you're doing (which the OP obviously doesn't) but in the end it's not worth it. The warranty you get with a kit is also nice for some piece of mind.

All I know is everyone else is doing some kind of intake work/charger/turbo.So If I can start something for basically nothing I'm gonna try.Well ,if I think It might work.Hell why not, its only 100 bucks.And I do have a 3.8 gm v6 in the drive way, witch I guess thats what this is for.

Your crank pulley is no doubt differant size than what ever that thing came off. You mix that with that SC pulley you might end up trying to push 20psi (I know thats a bit much, but you get my point) through your engine. Not so good for head gaskets, rods, rings, and a list of other parts.
But I think your ok cause I really don't see that SC ever making any boost on your CL. (go ahead, tell me I'm wrong) You'll buy it and all you will have is a $100.00 paper weight sitting in your garage. If it was that easy everyone would be doing it. Fabrication is very exspensive. Probably cheaper to buy the right kit.

I found two other cheap options i found.A t25 turbo and and a small intercooler for $100,or a new t3/t4 turbo for $150 .I dont know about much in being boosted but I want to buy piece by piece till I have a decent setup.Are all turbos universal ,or specific.

A T25 is too small for a 3.2L. I think I would go a tad larger than a t3/t4. You wanna be carefull with those cheap turbos. You get what you pay for. But I would think fabing up a turbo would be easier and cheaper than trying that SC.

If you're after cheap power without headaches, snag the Zex nitrous kit off any used parts board, wire it up to the TPS and dial it in so it only fires at WOT when armed, and spray it down. 75whp on tap for about $250-$300 in materials plus bottle fills.

If you want a cheap turbo that flows and spools well, take a look at the Holsets that come off of Dodge and Ford turbo diesels. The HX35 seems to be sized appropriately for 3.2L motors.
