LOL, not exactly! It's Don Henley "Boys Of Summer" except he substituted "Black Flag sticker" for "Dead Head sticker"

EDIT...Oops, didn't see the post above!

And exactly the same as a vortech, which doesn't make full boost till redline. Trust me, on high-revving motors, a centrifugal will feel laggier than even a fairly hefty turbo. If you're into autocross and have 10 grand, i'd do a setup with a 1.7 liter autorotor twin-screw blower, mounted vortech style off to the front and side of the motor, discharging through a PWR or spearco or PTE barrel intercooler and then to a normal intake manifold. Pulley it for 12 pounds of boost and you would have a nasty setup that would have the torque curve of a 3.2L V6.</TD></TR></TABLE>

I am not familiar with Autorotor superchargers for Hondas. Why do you think Autorotor would be a better choice than Jackson Racing? I'm not sure who in my area (Wisconsin) could do a custom install like the one you described. King Motorsports maybe?

On a supercharged motor, does it still make sense to upgrade to aggressive camshafts?

As far as I know, nobody has made an autorotor kit for hondas yet. If you're good with welding and stuff you could probably have a place with a CNC machine make you a good solid steel bracket to bolt the blower up on the motor, and then weld up all the inlet tubing yourself, pair it up with a good standalone and get it tuned.

Just depends on what camshaft and what your excepting the car to feel like.
In general, forced induction setups respond well to bolt ons.

Just a suggestion would be try the b16a2 with the supercharger and then go from there.

You just answered a question that was asked 5.5 years ago.

Hi,

You might want to take a look at Rotrex and Harrop.

There is a nice vid regarding the Rotrex on Youtube. Search under Rotrex and Integra. You can link to the owner's website.

Harrop is Australian and has modernized Eatons. They are apparently more efficient and don't heat up. The US Harrop rep is trying to get a reverse rotation model made.

Problem with a supercharger on a Honda is finding a place to put it.

Any good jackshaft designs out there?

John
