it looks like a turbo..Ive seen it on an integra type r...On the integra it sits right some what in front of the header..Just a thought it might work for our car
Rotrex superchargers are pretty sweet. Not so much for the bit of extra power they make due to the increased efficiency, but for what they are, a rotrex supercharger.
If money was not an issue when it came time to supercharge the K I would go with a rotrex and have a custom hood made with a functional hood scoop to feed the top mount intercooler (or is it an aftercooler).
Honestly though for the difference in price from a jackson. I am not sure that it is worth it.
I think a setup like this would be neat

That setup looks nice..But i would prefer the intercooler to be a front mount..For some reason just seeing an intrcooler in the bumper looks sick...My friend has a rotrex hes about to put on his car but im gonna see if i can fit it on my car..
Yeah we went round and round about this a while ago. The Rotrex is probably the easiest one to fit, but you still need to have a custom bracket machined for it. I created a thread about this a couple months ago. Let me see if I can find it.

There's a good chance that I'm not going to answer your PM.
this is definantly a cool idea. But how much power would it really put out??? And what are the advantages of this vs a turbo? Also heres an even crazier idea could some crazy person run both this and a turbo??? I know the engine would prolly blow up or something cool like that. How much pressure could our little d17 handle?????

There are bennies and drawbacks to both setups. Turbos are more efficient. Since they are using 'free' energy - the exhaust - to create boost, every bit of HP they make goes to the crank and out to the wheels. The drawback with a turbo is a little bit of lag (non-existent really in a properly sized ball-bearing turbo) and the intense heat generated and running oil and coolant lines all over your bay.
A supercharger is less efficient as the engine had to spend power (via the parasitic drag of the SC pulley) to make power. This can be anywhere from 20-40% depending on the blower. However, SCs don't run hot lot turbos do, power is there as soon as you hit the pedal no matter what speed you're at, and you don't have as many fluid lines to deal with.
Check homemadeturbo.com as there are a couple folks there who have superchargers feeding big turbos.
