Super charger

[David Aamidor]

Does anyone make a super charger kit for the s13, if no would it be possible to make my own kit with a supercharger off another car. What about electric super chargers.

Also when you lighten the fly wheel how does it effect the cars everyday driveability i.e. idleing

Nobody currently makes a supercharger for any 240sx.
Unstable-hybrids is working on one for the ka24e.

Electric superchargers won't have enough power to really give good boost. There was a link for one floating around that was said to give 14hp or something, it turned on at WOT.

Lightened flywheels won't negatively effect daily drivability in any way. For more information on The effects of a light weight flywheel check the FAQ.

Yeah, I don't know too much about superchargers, cuz I have done all my research about turbos... but I can tell ya this.
The most probable reason there is no kit for a s/c 240sx is cost.  Nobody will make  a kit that will cost $6k when they sell turbos for $3k.  But that doesn't mean it hasn't been done, and doesn't mean you cant do it.
I'd imagine, if you know what you're doing, you could hook up either a roots s/c or a centrifugal s/c.  There might be a hood clearance issue with a roots style.
You'd have to make a mounting bracket, and some tubing, and get a resized belt and separate pulley for it.  And know what you're doing!  Then you'd need basic Forced Induction upgrades.  Fuel management, Intercooler for high boost, and some gauges.  Followed by larger exhaust and such.  If you decide to go for the long haul, and do it, let us know!  People are dying for superchargers on their car, and once someone does it, more are sure to follow.
Good luck man!

Uhh... No.
People discussed this about 2 weeks ago, and the general consensus was it sucked, and was a total ripoff. &nbsp;That does nothing more than swirl the air in your intake. &nbsp;Which will get unswirled soon after, either by the throttle body or the intake runners.. .but somewhere... it will get unswirled. &nbsp;I would not recommend that anyone buy that. &nbsp;Claims up to 50 hp. &nbsp;LOL! &nbsp;There was an infomercial for that, and they said gains from ZERO-35hp. &nbsp;And fuel economy from 0%-15%. &nbsp;I can get better fuel economy if I take my foot off the gas, and I can get more power by changing my fouled plug. &nbsp;This is quite possibly what these people did for their advertising. &nbsp;Or just made up numbers.
Anyway... stay away.
