One for the new year here guys.
rotrex full supercharger kits for M20 or M50/52 S50 now available !! POA
all required hardware, intercooler oil brackets even the nuts/bolts and seals you need.
Engine management tweaks required to but lots of options, TCD chip, MS, or Unichip ( uni Q) I've not costed this section as I feel it better that the end user picks whatrever suits them.
normally £3K for DIY kits( easy 10 bolt fitment)
5 in a group buy would reduce to £2750 per unit.
10+ has potential to be cheaper still.
NO MESSERS PLEASE, genuine enquiries put your names down below, I need confirmation and deposits to move this forwards, I'll update this post as and when OK, thanks for reading.
FYI 6.5/9 and 14 psi options available, lower two OK on stock mill, 14 needs fat gasket for the head to lower the CR.
Boost hosing NOT included due to the fact most will want to put their own style on this part of the install, happy to supply anything you need however.
All major Credit Cards accepted( via paypal acc )
Bad pic of a unit fitted( scrapped engine )

i had the first one for an e21 2.5 conversion.
It just bolted straight on the m20 block and looks like it grew there.
Ants done a nice conversion for those who love induction.
Recommended!!

if on;y the dollar was stronger.
Would you be willing to send these to the states?
If so you might beable to drum up some sales on e30tech.com in the supercharger section.
let me know, i'm a sponsor of the site and can post this is the group buy section for you.

Ant - how much for just a charger on its own?

which charger dude ??
there are loads of options, the one for the M20 would send the iS head into orbit
@bottlecap, yeah can do overseas dude, yes the poor dollar will hurt the price but if you get 5 parties together I can sort a sweet price for ya.
Cheers !
@ Cliffy, if you want a unit in fully polished finish with a chrome bracket assy I need a month to get it sorted, just so you know

Hehe. I'm just thinking that I'd prefer the characteristics of a rotrex than the roots I'm installing. Gonna go ahead with the roots anyway for the experience but you know me, always dreaming of what's next...
anyway... i'll stop spamming your thread :p

Where is the placement of the charger?

Thanks

Charger fits where the stock A/C bracket would fit, so under the exhaust manifold( clears 6 branch no issues)

I aint Ant, but I can tell you it will support any engine very well. As long as you dont get too greedy with boost you will have no probs. Depends on how well its mapped with the charger fitted. As long as the rods, crank, headgasket, head bolts/studs can take a big hike in power and the CR aint too high, I cant see why not.

Hey Ant,
Is you kit comparable to this
http://www.w2wpowertrain.com/c-63-supercharging.aspx
Just tried to find out what is the difference between your kit and the one with supplied link..
Also, which chargers are you offering?
Re:

I used the C30-94 units, better overkill than under specced.
comparable in what way dude ? those are on SB Chevy motors as far as 'I can see ???
gives me another idea mind lol !!
I need 3 units for myself this onth, orders will need to be placed before the 10th Feb to get in with my purchase, the more the merrier guys !!
cliffy, that means you fella

what I mean is that isn't that the same charger you use whether it be for a chevy, toyota etc.. Its the same charger and can be mounted in the A/C location of the E30. Just looking for another alternative just in case I don't want to spend the 6k(US) for ur kit. Or is your kit custom fabricated(besides the charger) for the E30 platform. If it is then do you sell all the hardware seperately to be able to mount it in the E30??
