Yea, I know how a FMIC works. But I was talking about this particular setup where you have filter, throttle body, intake pipe, supercharger, lower runners, cylinder.

Its not the usual filter, tb, supercharger, charge piping, intercooler, charge piping, intake mani.

That could *maybe* get a water to air aftercooler to work, but that will probably lift the blower even higher.

Water to air cooler would work if the set up was going into a mr2(or something with a mid/rear mounted engine) or a sand rail. That way the sc doest block ur view

Rajca, isn't that thing going to be sticking way outside the engine compartment?

bumping this...

what are the negatives towards this setup? other then the obvious height issue. I was thinking that those superchargers can be had relatively cheap. Someone mentioned the air will be quite hot...

I'm wondering without the intake manifold there, how much the s/c'er really sticks up past the original manifold. Maybe create a bulge in the hood??

bulge in the hood wont help. ull need to cut a hole in it. looks like its gonna stick out a good 8" or so above the hood

I am gonna state now that a cl will never do this. This is for j-swapped civics and tegs. Now someone prove me wrong.

i prefer turbo over sc. but like brian said. this isnt for cl's

oh I just wish there was a CT turbo kit or something.

something that could be put on without serious customization. But my guess is that's not ever gonna happen.
So no turbo for le moi. I aint that good of a mechanic (least I don't trust myself to be able to do it right).

But DAYM that adapter is gonna be the keystone to getting the most powerful S/C J32 i think any of us have seen

btw the car that this is installed on has the pics in this thread if you are curious how far it sticks up etc.

Really this wouldn't be that hard to do, both those pieces can be cut just using a CNC Vertical Mill. Although you would have to get a custom hood made if you didn't want it to stick out something like a cowl induction hood. Either way you'll make more power with a turbo any day.

yea but a cl can fit a s/c or turbo in the engine bay so I see no reason to have something sticking out of the hood. J swapped cars dont have any room in engine bay left hence using this.

If you didn't want to pay for a Comptech S/C Kit this could be reasonable option given you have the tools to do the engineering yourself; like a solids molding package such as SolidWorks and the know-how to use it. The machining wouldn't be all that expensive, but then you would have to worry about a tune. I considered doing this a while back but don't have the money to fund it or the time to do the design work.

^ that's all i was thinking. Parts to get the thing working wouldn't be that much. The company that did that is pretty close to me. Just have to design a new hood.

What's everyone using to tune this setup?

Does anyone know what supercharger that is?
