Pre-Hack Repost: DIY Eaton Supercharger, Why Not?

[Nexus1155]

oil lines/coolant lines/AN Fittings/Having to tape the block/pan/Wastegates/Boost Controllers/Intercooler/ More Custom Pipe work/etc....

Supercharging is based off the intake side, which means i do not need to do pipework, just making flanges with pipes.

There is a perfectly substitutable flex pipe in the marine world that holds up to70psi of boost and has good flow. Albeit it being Orange(maybe wrap it with electrical tape or some crap, variety of colors now), it is still somewhat pricey, but i think it will save tons on costs versus piping. If it could withstand the hotside of a turbo, i would've did that, but almost all silicone/rubber melts at those degrees...

And it is not like i am trying to build a monster here, the supercharger with a reduced pulley can make some good power... If i were trying to make a drag monster/track warrior... I would not keep this engine at all unless i had about 10k to throw into internals...

oil lines:
you tee into the oil pressure sensor already tapped at the block.
no one says you have to use AN fittings ;)
you don't have to tap the oil pan, use a sandwich adaptor. run the oil coming out of the turbo into your oil cooler and back into the engine

turbo:
you won't need a wastegate as most small turbos are internally gated
which also means you don't need a boost controller
you don't need an intercooler on low boost applications
and believe me, piping is much easier to fab than a bracket with "rough measurements" to hold a supercharger spinning 4X engine speed.
you can use that silicon exhaust hose for the charge air coming out of a turbo too ;)
