any help on the last question about the tensioner ??
And is this the belt diagram for a 91 N/A?? IF not can any one post up a pic or something so i can try to figure out were im going to put the belt

where are you getting these price quotes? i want to supercharge my na stealth and i went to boosthead.com for a supercharger and i was quoted like 3995 for a kit and are your superchargers twin screw or centrifugue style. very interested thanks
Superchargers are not my forte, but iirc dont the roots type SCs run off of the crank pulley?
cyote remember that SC kits have been done very seldom on this platform, theres only a few people on the boards that really know what they are talkin about when they come to them.
and yes resistor packs will work on the TT injectors as well.
btw are you gonna be running 10:1 compression or lower?

Maybe i was misunderstood.. Defiantly you cant get a Already made kit for this car for this cheap like TK SC kit. im going to buy any m90 or maybe a different supercharger off another car Like this one HERE then im going to fabricate and weld together my own plenum (custom) and an adapter plate for my Throttle body. I have to do all the work my self but it has been done for under a grand. but im probably going to be useing a roots type because most factory SC are roots. Yeah roots and twin screw and centrifuge are belt driven only turbochargers are exhaust driven..Im going to run it with my 10:1 N/A 6g72 Then maybe later (when i add more boost) i will drop in a TT or 8.5:1 6g74 but thats later on probably way later on. so as you see im really looking for is not really dealing with superchargers on are platform but is there a certain tension that a tensioner pulley would need to throw it on my crank belt so that it wont put to mutch tension and if the diagram i posted was of a 91 N/A crank belt so i can see how im going to run the belt to the supercharger
Thanks
Cyote
Edit: Prices are random from what i seen them go for used.
thanks for the clarification. sorry for the misunderstanding i was looking into supercharging my 91 na and so was interested to here your idea i guess my best shot because i cant fabricate that well is to use the eaton roots style from boosthead but i will have to sell my firstborn to afford it
thanks
Ok so all the SC people keep telling me that i need more surface area on the SC pulley so here is what im thinking it that good enough ?? And will my Na engine withstand 7 PSI??? or how about 10 PSI???
That's correct! I was thinking the same thing. If we increase the wrap angle of the belt on the pulley then you will be able to overcome the slippage due to the increased frictional surface area.
How would you attach the pulley at that point? Anyone has pics of the front of a block?
(I'm planning an sc setup too, but I don't know much about boost, wastegates, etc. I work as a process engineer, so I'll try to pitch in when I can) cheers!
