Time to SuperCharge!...
#4
You are correct, this blower is for a v6, with the correct pully ratios, a modest intercooler and race raidator, upgraded fans, and proper blowoff/wastegate this supercharger will out perform current turbo applications at a much cheaper cost. Fuel efficiency is maintained as long as driven normally. I will be running at 10psi to compare to the most common turbo set-ups. I will use ARP head studs and Arp Main Studs, forged pistons and connecting rods and Copper-alloy pro head gasket.
As for heat soak after shut off, electric auxillary fans can be used on a timer to continue air flow and cooling.
Superchargers..change the size of the pully, change the amount of potential boost.
Turbo kits cost as much as a replacment factory block...doesn't make much sense to me...
If you are patient, have the right friends and a lot of skill you can build anything...

Good luck, but if the supercharger route was really that much cheaper and more efficient, there'd be bolt-on supercharger kits for this car. By the very nature of the supercharger, they aren't as efficient as a turbo, they'll have a nice chunk of parasitic drag.
as for MPG, most cars that use a twin screw supercharger, like the corvette zr1, cadilliac CTS-V and various supercharged mustangs etc, get pretty poor MPG compared to their n/a next tier V8 bretheren.
But go for it dude, your time and your money, I'll be watching for updates.

considering most people WITH a first gen tC can't get a used TRD supercharger to work with their car, I wouldn't consider this even an option. Might as well try to get a supercharger from a corvette zr-1 to work.

Worked fine with my car and my buddies. They were known for failure but if you take care of it do the necessary things to bullet proof it won't have a problem. I got mine for $900 rebuilt the bearings for $30 ran the 12.5 pound pulley no problem
