With my recent adventures trying to get myself a JRSC kit not going the way I had planned, I've decided to see about going a different route. I really want to go with a supercharger but I like this idea over the JR kit because you can use an aftermarket intake manifold and clearance issues. Here are some pictures of what I've been able to find so far.
From what information I've been able to find so far, the supercharger originates from a Mercedes SLK230 or C230 kompressor. Flanges might be attained from a salvage yard along with the supercharger itself. This is basically the same Eaton charger that comes in the Jackson Racing Kit.
My questions start with how to meter the boost. The one video I've seen has just a blow off valve. I'm wondering if that will be sufficient and if it will work properly. I have a limited understanding when it comes to regulating boost when it comes to superchargers. There's also a possible issue with rotation of the charger but that isn't a huge issue for me at this point.
I'm just looking to converse with other folks on the idea and brainstorm some more.
