Technically: Yes.
Physically: No, not unless you can design and build your own. There are none for sale.

Just go for a nice T25 or T28 setup and you should get the power you want.

Aye, ive talked to a company here in the UK who supercharged my old car, theres simply not enough room under the bonnet in a Primera/G20 to fit a supercharger. Others may have a solution, but no ones willing to try.

i was led to believe that with the correct setup of fuel and timing, not only do you gain in performance, but you also get better fuel economy and emission, especially with a supercharger.

Here we go again...
Turbos suck!! ...in fact, turbos blow!$!%!@
Actually, they SUCK and BLOW more than a supercharger any day of the week. Which is exactly why you shouldnt even concider a supercharger. ;)
Turbos all the way! :D

Oregon is the place for you. Unless you like the sun :rolleyes: But the V8's go blub blub blub.
Back in 97 I could have sworn there was a guy on the SE-R.net mailing list with a supercharged NX2K. Maybe George remembers him....

Supercharger's suck that's v8's like mustangs and camaros. You dont want and supercharger you want a turbo. Supercharger's work of pullies and belts anyways they rob your car of some horsepower it could have if it didn't run on a pullie system. Turbo's work straight of exhaust pressure's. Do it the right way go turbo.

You will get worse performance than a turbocharger, all things being equal. Emissions is another story though. Because a turbo lowers the the exhaust temp past the compressor, it takes longer to light off the cat than the SC.
