Just wondering if anyone has ever mounted a supercharger to a 7mge. It looks pretty easy. I designed a Eaton MP62 system for my Escort GT and it worked great. i figure I could mount a M62 to the side of the engine and run off of an Accessory belt and have the intake flange pull from the VAF and the exhaust run right into the TB. I could run a simply bosch bypass valve to recirculate unused air. Might have to pull the PS pump and mount the SC there. launches and 0-60 times would be awesome.

and turbo's are more efficient, if you ask me. :)

wa.
it can work, if you have the funds and the time go for it.

its just that superchargers cost more $$ and turbo chargers work just as well for less money. its not that its impossible its just that it isnt very logical as far as $$ goes.

not to mention that a supercharger takes power to make power. (read: it's belt driven from the motor, so it's robbing horsepower to make horsepower)

turbos all the way:)
