Okay, so I've done a lot of research, and as you can tell I still have the damn auto tranny setup on my car. Jackson Racing has a mini version of the Eaton supercharger and is designed for the 96-00 d16y8. It retails for $1,999. This is something that is easily mounted and the modifcations needed to complete the boost are minimal. With this said, my car has about 152,000 miles on the engine/tranny. Should I rebuild the internals, or do you think I should just wait on any further modification until I have enough for a tranny and/or engine swap?
I know that I would need to upgrade the existing fuel rail, get larger injectors, and possibly update the fuel pump. Let me know if you might have any insight.

me personally, auto to manual first.
i dont think the squishbox will handle the abuse of the blower.

And 152 look to replace the rings and valve stem seals if you want to make decent power and make it reliable

i agree with them^^....also jrsc kits are supposd to be bolt on i dont think you need to upgrade anything beside what comes with the kit...not 100% on that tho

wtf would you supercharge an auto sohc?
really....the fact you had to ask this scares me a little.
for the price of a new jackson unit you could do a ls swap.

lol hes right you can get a decent ls with the auto to manuel conversion mount and still be under 2k

dont do it. do one of two things... begin by converting auto to manual, or sell the car for a new car.
if you dont sell it, do swaps, not supercharging a car especially at the mileage you have!
