The great voyage..... Installing a supercharger! ( PICS )
Well, what a journey this is turning out to be. 10 Hours later and I am still not finished. Thank god for family and friends is all I can say! I had the help from my father, and some club buddies today, HUGE thanks to Jon, Brad, and my Father! We got most of it done today and I am left with all the wiring tomorrow and I am praying that my favorite electrical guy Clay shows up tomorrow to help sort through this mess of colorful wire! For now, here it how it has gone................ Pics!







I pray that tomorrow goes smooth with the wriring and that I will be driving my xB to work Monday morning! Wish me luck!

Interested in seeing how the rest of this goes!
Once you get it up and going, I'd love to read any thoughts,
guides, or pitfalls you could help future S/C installers from
avoiding!
I'm still considering a turbo myself, but not sure I'm ready to
pay $5000 for someone else to do it.

As of right now, the fuel management is staying stock. The supercharger made by blitz was actually intended for a stock motor. I am not sure what the outcome would be by changing the fuel pump, fuel rail, and injectors. As far as the install goes, the instructions are pretty straight forward with the exception of no pictures of bolts and the lengths. You have to measure every bolt and have to do alot of page flipping back to the kit inventory section. I will explain alot more of the install once I finish everything up and my car is running. Gotta get back out there and finish up this wiring.
More to come............

Looks good. I would like to hear how happy you are with the performance gains. I wasnt that happy with the dyno sheet when I saw it. Looks good though and good luck with the wiring. Just take your time...

This is true, but there is also a fuel management box that wires into the ECU to componsate for more air so I am sure it is adjusting the fuel regulation to compensate for the increase in air. no?
