Maybe because it isnt possible? I dunno. Ive seached for kits but the only thing I can find is for honda/acura. Let's here your thoughts, links if you have any.

its definately possible.  You would just have to get a custom mounting bracket made, and then the rest works just like a turbo..

Unstable Hybrids *was* doing a SC project...haven't heard anything for a while...probably because most people would rather have turbo or Sr20 swap.  You would be the first, and truelly original if you did do it though.

Not sure, but I think it's been done before. It's not very complicated to do, and is probably cheaper than making your own turbo kit.

Turbo kits are easier to upgrade once it's on,... second, with a s/c, since it's belt driven, why would you want to take power from the crank to give it back?

people don't normally supercharge four cylinder cars because it isn't worth it , you wouldn't be able to get the same power out of a supcharged 4 cyl. as you would in a turboed 4 cyl. , it is typically used for v6's and v8's. why the have a kit for honda/acura is a mystery , probably cz they couldn't think up any more gay ideas on what ELSE they could sell to the honda/acura rice boys. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

if the aftermarket gets any bigger for these cars, you'll see one soon enough

well with any car you get more power from a turbo than a supercharger becuase turbos can boost more. &nbsp; theres also a diff. in where you get the power but im not gonna bore you with that. &nbsp;btw are you sure thats a roots type kit... roots = directly bolts onto manifold. &nbsp;you can probably make your own centrifigual (sp?) kit. &nbsp;only benefit of a sc is the low end that you get from almost instant boost.
