Icon6 AMR500 on an s2000?

I keep seeing this refurbished roots blowers and I wanted to have a discussion with people smarter than me. I'm mostly sure these blowers don't have enough breath for an f20c and I think they're meant to max out at 4-6psi. On the compressor side, I'm curious how it would work out. Could you get the right pully ratio to have a decent powerband or would the size be too limiting? On the gearbox side, could it hold up to the abuse and could you somehow rig a proper oil cooler to the sealed system?

Most of the listings say it's compatible with 1.0-2.2l displacement but I think the volumetric efficiency of an f20c/f22c puts it out of this range with 500cc per revolution. Since this is a discussion I'm interested in all thoughts but what I'm mainly asking is what the results would be with it bolted to an s2000; in terms of power, how the gearing would hold up and any supporting mods that could help.

I haven't decided on a supercharger kit yet. It's between HKS, SOS or kraftwerks. Once I'm ready for it I wouldn't mind playing with an AMR500 first.

That supercharger would be small for a SOHC 1.6L VTEC engine like a D16Z6 or D16Y8... WAY small for your S2K. Go Kraftwerks.

Oh trust me. I'll be getting a name brand kit at some point and kraftwerks is a nominee. I bought this car for the track so I need something meant for the abuse. But this blower is cheap and interesting so I'd like to play with one. The hard part is the custom bracket, could you run two of these units for double the boost? Would that need to be in parallel or series?
