There is a factory type one that comes out of Japan...Seagull had it, or a pic of it. It sits directly under a raised manifold where the alternator usually is and feeds the underside I guess.

MY MATES ALL USED TO USE YOYOTA SUPERCHARGERS ON 350 CHEVs AND THEIR DRAG 308s

they managed to run in the 12's so the chargers are tough units and i dont recall them ever having a problem with them

Has anyone tried one of those centrifugal superchargers on a subaru? (basically crank driven turbo compressors..)

so what will you do. score a spare inlet manifold, weld up the throttle body mount, cut the top off and put on a mounting plate for the blower?

Definetely get the SC14, the one off the 4AGZE 1600 will be way too small.

You would need to turn ti upside down ? to normal orientation, not sure if you can do this as they run an oil resevoir somewhere I think..... worth checking out the lubrication system anyways. I know the rotor lobes are teflon coated, and they are a solid little unit.... have seen them on all sorts of engines from nissan 3ltr to commodore 3.8s....

From memory there is a max rotor rpm reccomended, I cant remember if it is 11,000rpm or 14,000rpm..... above this you get rotor damage......

Google it, theres bound to be some good info out there.

However, there are companies over east ( I think CAPA used to do one) that do kits with Eatons and the like, from memory when I was looking at it for the liberty they were about the $5 - 6k mark

That carbi I had one of them once .

with 10.1 compression I think I am going to have problems with a blower .I need to get it down to 8.1

so I take the heads off pop the pistions out & machine them out a bit .

head gaskets are going to cost more than the motor !

man I going to be getting in to this project very soon , good I love subaru motors

Always loved the DLI kit - its just so over the top you cant go past it..... there was a 1303 in the UK (white one) that had a DLI blower on it in Volksworld a while back... real nice 🙂

Unfortunately that car was burnt out after a fire in his garage when he was working on it...

I used the supercharger off a igg motor on a nissan vg20 @ idle inlet temps were 90c had it coming on @ 30% throttle 600+ NM of torque @ 7500rpm if you run it all of the time use a intercooler also used Altronics ecu .If your got the money Autorotor.

Tad warm on the intake side...you wouldnt think it would generate that much heat. Yesterday morning in the fog, on the m2 when I just got in the car I had intake temps at -1 for about 1 minute. I tried ringing 4 mates to tell them, although they were all on the phone...Jak, Paul, Dave and Chris...who is on th phone at 630am?

-1, mmm thats c h i l l y !! :P

90c @ idle is definetely warm - wonder what was going on there - were you running stock drive ratio on the blower ? Maybe the lobe seals were on their way out ?

but really, who cares if it made 600NM !!!!! thats a torque monster 🙂

The s/c is mine.
I bought it 2nd hand,its a CAPA(south oz) made kit which was made a few years ago for ej22's.
It comes with all pulleys ,wiring new cast manifold with the eaton sandwiched b/w top of manifold and block.
Was running great in the original owners car.
It will eventually find its way in a lib wgn manual awd.
Also have lift kit,outback wheels for it.
I own a turbo wgn,i want to hear and feel the difference b/w the 2.

turbo will be smoother and better top end ,having the s/c coming on at different throttle positions can come on hard and give a kick .22years ago I had a ta22 celica using a kkk turbo @250 hp so I prefer the turbo.the s/c was my wifes cars so below 30% throttle she wasn't on boost so that what she told me.But the AutoRotor units would be better than the toyota vane type .
