So I've been doing research on finding an ogura supercharger much like they used on the bee-r twincharged s15. I'm finding it nearly impossible to find a distributor or even one at a good price. I then remembered seeing that volvo used ogura superchargers on their boating line. Specifically the Volvo penta kad32,44,etc. I then found this link to one that sold recently for pretty cheap.
Supercharger, Compressor, Roots Type, Volvo Penta KAD32 - eBay (item 140504797546 end time Jan-31-11 12:00:37 PST) (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rt=nc&nma=true&item=140504797546&si=U72UkMh4U1ps71Qrrvm1exTJO6k%253D&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMESELX%3AIT&afsrc=1)
I'm thinking about picking one of these up just for ****s and giggles...as it's design is superior to normal roots chargers. Anyway just thought I'd share some of the neat info I've found for anyone else looking for them.:bigok:

You wanna twin charge your sr? I was looking into but it seems more costly then benificial and i think tuning would be really hard

I'm building an sr20vet and I honestly would like one of these just to have should I want to use it possibly or even use it on a future beater project. I'd of course strip the green marine paint off of it. Cool thing is I believe the clutch on it is electronically controlled. Ya tuning would be difficult but some things are worth the extra work.

I would like to know how it's design is superior to other roots blowers.

I could only spit out what I've read on their technical data...which can be found on their site.

Plus the design for the intake and discharge flanges are really easy to bolt to and fabricate off.
