K swap with Rotrex

I'm interested in doing a K swap after the FA dies but only if I can keep my Rotrex c38 supercharger setup. I have seen a lot of FWD K setups with the same blower on them but not sure the feasibility of a RWD application and the rotrex as it would have to go inline (or not) with the accessory belt. Has anyone know of a Rotrex setup on a K in a RWD sway? I guess worse case I'd have to hire a machinist to make a some brackets.

Kraftworks makes a K series kit. Don't see why it wouldn't work in RWD application. Maybe get ahold of them and see if they will sell you the parts you need. Just FYI there are a lot of reports of the KW kit on the FA20 having belt issues.

FWIW Jackson Racing makes a setup that uses the Rotrex setup, but not the strange "extra" belt
