Thread: Supercharger head unit options

  1. Default Supercharger head unit options

    Hey, so I've been kicking around an idea I've once briefly heard.

    I really don't care about the A/c, so that'll be removed.

    I want to get a custom bracket made, and put a supercharger head unit where the AC compressor was, and have it run off a custom length [depending on pulley size] (stock location) serpentine belt. I know one rotrex unit can make its way in there, but its like, 2000 dollars.

    I want to run the supercharger--->FMIC--->piping up to the TB almost exactly like a cold air intake would sit.. it would look very sleeper and would be a very simple piping setup, which means the most to me.

    My question is, where can I get a headunit thats more like <1500, that is similar to rotrex units that'll fit in the A/C compressor region?

    that bracket is by the water pump, the S/C is NOT where the AC compressor is. Not even close, thats not what im talking about.

    It's very hard to find a supercharger headunit under $1700. Jrak over on NECO was working on something similar to this.

    I'm the one building the SC over on NECO posted in the link above. I should be finished fairly soon. I had to order a smaller pulley to clear the tensioner on the 01+ timing covers and I found a universal coolant tank that will fit to cut down on costs. I'll update the post on NECO when I get things running.

    These guys already have one that goes on the zetec (focus but have been told it will work on the tour), maybe they got one for the 2.5L. I'll start to look and see what I can find.

    Nobody has one for the 2.5L, which is why I put one together. Fitting it onto the 2.5L is a nightmare as you can tell by my pictures. Vortech had one for a while and then discontinued it do to issues with the jackshaft.
