Fit up piping from SC to throttle body.

Once again you are describing the Sprintex non intercooler supercharger, only you do not have to remove the airbox. I does not get any simpler that that setup.

Correct me if I am wrong, but all the Rotrex style Superchargers come with a intercooler IE: Jackson, Kraftwerks, HKS, Vortech will come with a intercooler.

Then you have Edelbrock that does not use a intercooler, just has a heat exchanger.

I looked up Sprintex and it shows a intercooler...might be another option without.

I know you said Supercharger, but what about a Turbo kit? Something like Works stage 1 kit might be what you are looking for. No intercooler, but you do have to install their downpipe.

this turbo kit is looking more and more like a winner. Maybe put a slightly weaker wastegate spring to turn the boost down to 5psi, and just put a pipe in place of the liquid intercooler to further simplify it. I don't need 260 to the wheels, honestly. 220 would be just ducky in this car, and the drop in torque would probably make other parts of the car last longer too.

Now I just need to find a Canadian supplier. Ive sent an email to Works

Based on what you want and what you talk about, the Sprintex non-intercooled kit would be the best for you. I thought installing the whole kit was pretty easy considering it’s just me (hardest part was lifting it by myself and lowering it in). Having the barebones kit would mean you essentially disconnect the belt (just a 14mm on the tensioner). Then unplug and take off the TB (leave everything attached hose-wise). Take off the hoses from the manifold and remove the manifold (6 bolts). Then route the extensions from the supercharger (map extension and tb extension) and then just drop in the supercharger manifold (head unit is already on) and bolt it up (there is an extra 32mm bolt that attaches at the front to secure the manifold). Reconnect TB and hoses. Then put belt back on. Super easy and not involved compared to other kits. If you have e85 readily available, it’ll help and you can get a flex kit (another 10-15 min install depending on which kit you get). Then get it tuned via Ecutek and you’re done. It’ll push roughly 9-10 on the stock 75mm pulley and it’ll be fine with proper maintenance; adding the e85 will just increase reliability and power

***forgot, the kit uses a plastic elbow that attaches to the intake. Super simple to take off and on (just four clamps)

Yeah, but the kit is rarely seen other than the intercooled version
