Hi guys,

not strictly for a mini but i'm working on a little project and dont know where else to ask...

I am in need of a small size, fairly low capacity supercharger, like the AMR300, but I can't find any in the uk, does anyone know where i could get hold of one of these? or of any similar superchargers of the same size? it does have to be a supercharger though, i know of a few small size turbo's and did think of somehow modifying a turbo to run from a pulley and belt but don't know if its possible or how difficult it would be.

I'm no stranger to a bit of machining and bodging :thumbsup:

Thanks

There's always the Eaton M24. Sometimes come up on ebay but more popular in the South American market where they were fitted to Ford Fiestas. They are now used on the VW and I'm guessing Skoda 1.4 TSi engines but they have different internals and gearing and are quite pricey.

Yeah i've seen the eaton on ebay now, bit pricey for me still, was looking for something that is fitted standard and could maybe pick up from a breakers or somewhere, like the little turbo's on the smart cars but a supercharger... if that makes sense?

Cheers
