VERY nice. Awesome job. What did you use for the charger? Or did you custom make it?

Wow. I've never seen a roots style on a 4 cylinder. Most I see in tuner mags are centrifugal ones. Great job though!

It's a cut-down Eaton-style blower cast in resin. The pulleys are all resin and the belt is printed paper. I have it posted in the classifieds.

Jackson Racing makes a roots-style blower for 4-cylinder cars, but theirs is hidden under the manifold. Vortech makes the centrifugal one, I'll make one of those one of these days. I didn't make one for the coupe because the airbox is molded in.

It looks great, but the pully that's attached to the supercharger should be a bit higher. It looks great though.

Thanks. That's how they are. The way the supercharger is made, the pulley is always on the driver's side when facing towards the front.

You got my vote! that's the first JR style SC that I have seen on the 1/24 Bseries motors, awesome job!!! I actually made a Vortec centrifugal on a full CF CRX I built, you can check it on my site if you need any ref. pics to make your own.
