Wow!
So you kept aircon and the standard alternator location? That's LUSH if I may say so myself. ;) |

Its an SC12 from a 4AGZE I reckon. Interesting. You have done a high mount and as long as you have the pulleys lined up it will be okay. You will have a rather long pulley belt with this set up.Critical that you get the belt right. If the main drive pulley and supercahrger pulley are just a fraction off centre you will chew through belts and have slip problems.
Where are you going to mount the intercooler?? |

Very cool.
I would love to slam one in the white super s here. That always on the boil low down grunt is great for city jabbing. |

Yeah that is right the angle of the pulleys has to be spot on it seemed to work ok but the thing was that I had hard time trying to get a tensioner to help put tension on the belt but i think i found on out of a Subi forester but not sure, it sounded good when i started it up, but will have to see if I can fit it to the new micra at some stage, it was about 1" too high so I would need a small scoop on the front but I did not have to remove anything from factory so that is good, I will try and dig up some pics of the mount that I made too, to give people ideas.

Aparently the supercharger is off a Subi of some sort and where I brought it from said it would be great up to a 1.3 max with a decent amount of power but did not get as far as intercooler and piping just the mounting, and as for the belt I got a long 6 rib belt and had to cut 2 ribs of it as I could not find a 4 rib, and it seemed to work ok.

Another option is to install the supercharger where the battery is and have a shaft so it meets with the pulley system.
Not sure on drawbacks and loss of power using the method? But I have seen it done on the citreon saxos in the UK. |

That is very interesting knieval.
As for power loss, if it was a solid beam with good quality bearings and it was 100% straight - where would the power loss be experienced? Smashing, What! |
