Is it possible to put a screw type supercharger on a Honda F22A engine? Assuming it was fine tuned and had a custom intake manifold.

Do you mean like a Lysholm twin screw? I was hoping someone would develop one for a B-series because they seem more efficient than a Roots types...

I would like to know too....

 

I was thinking of a small Whipple twin screw supercharger head unti and fabracate the rest of the system from there! I think that would be a better way to go than a turbocharger.

I agree with you, but I have never heard of anything like this ever done. I bet you know how to fabricate a lot of stuff?

Whipple sounds like a good idea, i have to look into that to understand it more.

Is it a better way to go than a roots? Yes. Is it a better way to go than turbo? No. The intense low end torque is wasted in a FWD application, and a turbo makes more peak power and more than likely mid range power than the twin screw. Not worth the large amount of money you would have to invest in it.

 

If you can securely attach the supercharger to the engine in some way, you do not really need to fabricate a custom intake manifold.

What you can do is to weld together a box that will attach the the bottom of the supercharger assembly (imagine an "oil pan" for your blower), that will then output to a set of charge pipes.

I'm sure the fabrication would be as simple as fabricating the end tanks on a intercooler, except you would have to put a flange on it to bolt to the blower.

Then you could use a BOV, and an intercooler if you want to.

 

And then you have to rig up a tensioning system, and a bracket system that doesn't flex. THAT is the hardest part, not building the inlet tract.

 

Well, you just need a beefy pair of brackets, and tensioning via the idler pulley. Such systems are in existance already.

 

Maybe I'll come up with some drawlings of ideas I have that just might work. And to me, the turbo is great for long distant, high speed use.... but I'm lokking something more streetable around town. I think I did mention that I would build this for an Accord F22A right?

Does anybody want give some input on ideas?? You are welcome to.
