supercharger (not G-Lader)

Hey

Sometime next year I'm going to be supercharging my Mini Clubman, looking for an output somewhere in the region of 160bhp.

The charger I'll be using is the Eaton M45 from the BMW Mini Cooper 'S'. Its a vane based charger, belt driven from the crank pulley.

I'm also thinking of doing the same to my GT when I have my new job, and having 2 supercharged cars in the stable, both less than 1300cc :twisted:

Does anybody have any info regards fitting alternative 'chargers to Polo's? Maybe this should be in the G40 section, but as its not a G40 nor will it be one maybe it shouldn't, I don't know :?

Anyway, just thought I'd ask see if anyone had any ideas, pointers etc.

Thanks!

Tom

If you wan't to supercharge your mk 3, get a g40 engine minus the G-lader as it will save you a lot of money and be ready for an eaton.
