Mini Cooper S super fit a miata?
#7
It will fit, but before even considering installing it you should obtain the fuel management and so forth which are required to run forced induction.
I'm currently fabbing an SC14 to my 1.6. I decided to redo my mounts as I didn't like it super close to the exhaust. I'd suggest googling up some supercharger kits and viewing their mounts as reference to what you'll need to do.
As for reliability, its only going to be as reliable as you build it to be. As the saying goes pick two: Cheap, reliable, fast.
Yes, I posted this on your other post as well.

Loads of us in the UK have already done this on 1.6 & 1.8's.
Have a look at this massive thread on the subject: http://www.mx5nutz.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=35574
Cost was roughly half what a JRSC would cost with a better ecu & more power.

We do the same in Italy. Cheap & Fun!
Actually one of our guys developed a very good system for pretensioning, that I think is the best for the moment (I will search and show the pictures)
Usually we go for MP45 supercharger (the teflon coated version, so the last one) + eManage

Here some info for the mounts and things that can be used to make it fit:

Obviously in the UK so postage would be difficult but it shows you how much you would be spending.

I thought about doing this for a while before I got my turbo. I ended up going turbo because I couldn't find one of the mini superchargers for a reasonable cost. Also I wanted a better upgrade path. If you do want to go this way I think I still have the rather good plans I got off a member of another forum. It really doesn't look to bad fabrication wise. If you want the plans shoot me a pm.

So you obviously don't want to fab anything, considering you are shying away from even tapping your oil pan. This means your only option is to buy all the pre-fabbed accessories to make it fit from the UK. That stuff is 545 pounds - and if you do the exchange rate, that's a lot more in dollars, plus you need to ship it.
AND, you'll notice on the website efay posted, in the directions you have to drill the supercharger for the inlet to fit, so you really have to do just as much 'fab' work as you would with tapping the pan for a turbo...
Cool idea on the surface
Not so worth it, even though you got the SC for a good deal.
