Sounds exciting! I think the r1 on its own will be a handful let alone boosting it, but maybe I’m getting old I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

I'm not sure I use an Eaton M45. Far better with a Rotrex, the TTS kit looks like a good start, although expensive. Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

I wouldn't be able to use that kit in it's current form due to space limitations mounting the charger low down. The Eaton doesn't require an oil feed and it should be good for about 10psi of boost (subject to pulley ratios) which should allow me to keep stock head gasket and injectors. I can also mount it higher up in the engine bay and then should have room to run the inlet pipework via an intercooler. Luke |

Just a suggestion, get the engine done and in the car before taking it to the body shop. Working on an engine swap of that kind with it painted will be a massive ballache. Much better to get it fitted up then take it out for paint.

Oil feed is easy. Don't let that put you off. On my Kawasaki engine I just unscrewed the oil gallery plug and stuck a union in it.

It's receiving a full respray inside and out including colour change. |

The Eaton will be a slug on a small bike engine and not give you the results you're probably after. Any other SC's I should consider other than rotrex? I'm new to forced induction so on a steep learning curve. What characteristics am I looking for when selecting a suitable charger beside volume it can shift? I found a couple of bike engine projects running Aisin AMR's which are fitted to Japanese Subaru compact cars - no idea if they are any good. |

I suggest a bit more reading on the different types of superchargers. There are few different types. The links below are worth a read.

i would use the eaton . Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM |

Yeah, but somehow you'd get it making a million BHP and no-one would understand how!!!

This project is looking is more viable. A Promotive R1 owner over on tmf kindly took a few photos of his engine install so I could study them and try and work out where to position a pulley on the engine.
