There is a supercharger for sr20de's... I dont know if you can buy it anywhere. Maybe if you have mob connections, lol  ...but, yes, there have been several stories and/or confirmations of their existance.

Go to the SE-R Mailing List archives and do a search on "supercharger" or "supercharger" and "turbocharger". I'd say let us know when you're done reading, but I'll be dead by then.
 Seriously, everything you really want to know is there and then some.

im austarila there is a guy that has a silvia (s14?) with the blower on the sr20de but its a rear wheel drive sr and its all custom deal. also i have read about jim wolfe haveing a 99 g20 that had a blower (was in a issue of sport compact car) but jim wolfe denys the cars existance . i resarched it as i wanted a blower as oppsed to a turbo . a blower is much safer from a boost controll stand point (waste gate goes bad and party is over)also a cool down just before shutting the engine off isnt nessesary in a blower car as you dont need to cool down the bearings in the blower like you do in the turbo.the ideal set up would be a blower out of a 87 mr2 supercharged with its electromagnectic clutch on the end of it (like a a/c compressor) so you can engage the blower when you needed it . i think for the money it will take to do it id rather just get a 88 lotus espirt hci and restore it and drive my g every day .After my chrysler turbo i think twice about turbos (lost wastegate controll and engine shortly after)..just my 2 cents .....

 ). Torque steer is caused by twisting of the halfshafts primerially (sp?), but also by compliance in the suspension bushings. So, a high powered FWD turbo car would more likely torque steer than a supercharged FWD car.

it is possible to have no torque steer in a turbo fwd drive car . take a look at a 91 lotus elan it had a speicaly defvolped front suspension to eliminte the toruqe steer . also a 2000 buick regal gs drives just fine with its 205 horse supercharged v6. mainly as long as the axel shafts are the same length (have to run a extension out of the trans case ala ford taurus) lsd diff and a decent suspension set up it isnt too bad a problem . now the worst toruqe steer i ever had was that chrysler turbo i had . the bastard would amost turn itself into the driveway if you wanted. to do the superchager/turbo deal right run the drive train out of the awd pulsar gtir or the primera t4 awd so one can get all the power to the ground. yes there was a awd primera but it i belive could only be had with a automatic tranny....

i currently live near fairbanks alaska. now as for the primera i was directed to it by a fellow g owner over in yahoo club land . i did a little reasearch and found one example in newzeland on a used car lot and two others in japan. details are scetchy its a p10 chassis with a sr20de ,automatic trans and supposedly most of the parts are lifted from the nissan parts bin. i havent found a way to contact nissan to see if they in fact made the car or if it is some kit but the example in newzeland appeard to be bone stock . now the name t4 i think comes from a class in some raceing series close to touring car (touring group 4) so it may be a limted production homoginization type deal . talking to the guy that direct me to it you need a new rear subframe and some creative welding to adpat it over and you will tip the scales at 3300 lbs.at any rate its a odd car . AWD drive would sure be nice here dureing the -65 degree, 24 hours of darkness, winters (to aid in ditch removal)

i think the rule of thumb for S/C T/C is that engines with less than ~300hp are better off with a turbo, and anything with more than ~300hp is better off with a super.
of course that is just a rule of thumb. i know of a TT Viper that does the 1/4m in 9.99s. but a good reason for a TT over a SC in that case could be that under 3000rpm, turbo lag is almost null, as you would be spinning the tires anyway.
