hey speedfoos ive seen that video before..Im not sure if it will fit or not cause if you look at the header on the type R it looks like it moves to the left alittle bit.Unlike ours which just goes straight down
For me I am thinking of supercharging because with the K I would run around 8lbs and would be making 280-300 whp (not that anymore would be less reliable with the K, but traction would be a real problem with more than 8lbs). A supercharger would also work better and be WAY more reliable for what I do with my car (autox and road race).
Honestly though I am not sure how well a supercharger would work with a D17, my guess is at 8lbs you would see around 150-175whp max. It would be neat though.

150-175 is alot better then what the car comes with lol...I mean i have other stuff done to my engine that would give me some power..I have the unorthodox pulley set, bigger header, fidanza flywheel,Full exhaust system..Plus the car doesnt way that much either so thats a plus
150-175 would make it a bit more fun. You would see a good bit more with a turbo though. I just know how 200 whp feels in my car with 100lbs shaved from the stock EM2 weight, even with the heavier engine. It feels fast at first, but after driving you buddies 300whp/400trq race ready STI, you want more.

VW had a system like what was described a few posts back, a supercharger and a turbo driving the same engine... They had it on a 1.4L 4-cylinder in the Golf GT TSI giving off 140 hp and 184 lb-ft. The system used a lot of complicated electronic clutches that would be very difficult to replicate in another car without the corporate backing. With the clutch on the supercharger, the negative effects of each type of forced induction were effectively eliminated. Supercharger for low RPMs under acceleration, and turbo for higher RPMs and cruising.
yeah do you know anybody who has a supercharged d17? If i had it done i would probably be the first..If i do get a it done i can get a shit load of brackets made and sell them
there is a company i believe ur thinking of that makes a supercharger kit for the honda fit. I'll check my superstreet archive. They use a rotrex supercharger.Its a partnership between jackson racing and skunk2 i think... ill get back 2 u on it.
acually, i plan to run a rotrex on my d17. the rotrex sc is the best form of power you can use! true, exhaust power is free, but creates LOTS OF HEAT. also, big power is more LAG. turbo lag is the gayest thing ever! [in my opinion ofcorse ] the rotrex uses a planetary gear set, like a automatic transmission. it creates big power, as much as you want, and a smooth, linner flow. to achive this with a turbo, you need a variable vain design, (ie, VW 2.0 TSI, acura RDX) and those turbo's run $2000+ in price, and are flawed design because of the HEAT created by the turbo destroys the veriable vains over a shorter period of time. rotrex sc will last for a long ass time!!!
(i worked for both VW and acura, and have seen multiple burn victums from both companies)
rotrex used to have good information on their website, but they have become more secretive and you have to go through distrubtors for information. i'll see if i can find this info because i would like to see more rotrex rather than turbo.
i also seen an electric sc yesterday on something about the detroit auto show. the company claims it pushes 2.2 kW, but i have not found a conversion for bar or psi. it also looks like it mounts on the pully system, so i don't know what the electric part is...
maturity is overrated
