Dude, that appendage jutting from the bottom of the S/C'er, (last pic to the right) where the lower housing (seems to be blocked off?) connects via the silicone coupler to the cast intake elbow is not going to work with a six speed.

The links below include the S/C'er 6 speed checklist and the install instructions:

Good Luck.

I wouldn't even bother with that thing. So much missing and the condition doesn't look great. Makes you wonder what's up with all that missing.

I mean you're missing stuff like the airbox too. Good luck finding that anywhere. No one is going to part with just the airbox and not the supercharger too. I don't think you can even find the parts you need individually. Looks like it was pulled out of a car in a junk yard or something that it'd be missing so much.

What if its relatively cheap? The story on it is that he used it for 4 months and stored it the past 6 years. Some of the parts he used on his turbo setup. I don't like the intake part on how it points to the driver side and not the firewall like it should. But it's going to go into a swapped vehicle, not a cl.

Where do you plan to get the missing parts? Comptech doesn't offer them anymore. People with supercharger kits for sale aren't going to part with just the missing parts. You're going to be pretty much SOL unless you're skilled and know how to fab them up yourself.

Other question is, whats up with it now that it's sat for 6 years? In that time the seals can break down and need replacement. Did he change the oil before throwing it in storage or has the same dirty stuff turned to sludge in there over the years?

There just seems to be too much work involved in acquiring the needed parts (if they can even be found which is questionable at best), the condition of the parts that are there, and the cost of getting the missing pieces (you could end up spending more to get those than just buying a used full kit off the forum). Seems like way too much of a gamble unless the guy is asking just a couple hundred bucks at most for it.

not sure about the seal and oil, would have to look at that. and looks like it comes with the alternator pulley and piece that hooks up to the IM also. the guy is selling it for 500.

Still, where are you going to find the missing parts? No one is going to part with them from a full kit and they aren't available anymore from Comptech. There really isn't anywhere to turn to get them unless you can get really lucky and find a totaled car with them that someone hasn't stripped everything off (and in that case why not just take that supercharger instead).

Judging by the pictures in the first post. It looks like this is the supercharger for the 98-02 Honda accord v6 not a cl or tl type s. where the throttle body connects doesn't look like a type s throttle body it looks like a tl or cl base

You planning on fabbing the brackets yourself?

where are you putting that s/c? The J32 wont fit as is under that hood without cutting the hood or a custom intake manifold. Why not just stroke the J32 to a 3.5 or 3.6L if you're looking for more power? The comptech s/c isn't very efficient for a 3.2 motor anyways. You'll make similar hp numbers if you stroke it to a 3.6L anyways.
