Default Millenia Supercharger

I have a 94 miata without no PS or AC and I have a millenia supercharger lined up. My question is what will I need to bolt it on the miata? Like brackets and things like that. Any help from people on have done it or know someone who has done it any advise would be appreciated.

Please dont say just buy a turbo...I had a turbo on my integra and I didnt like it for autocrossing. And I dont want to spend alot on just buying a kit I can get the parts off the millenia all most free.

Maybe if your a good little boy Santa will bring you a Supercharger kit for christmas.

Do you want to mount it coldside or hotside?

Something tells me a DIY supercharger will be hard to do cheaper then a DIY turbo.

No one has put a millenia supercharger on a miata.
Patsmx5 can tell you more about it though. Look through his threads.
You'll need the mounting hardware, pully, oil supply and return, charge piping and throttling support wether you are going throttled or un throttled.

I'm doing it. Type my username in the advanced search field and read through some of my threads. Anyway, you'll need to modify the SC to hook up 1 oil feed and two drain lines. I'm probably gonna drill and tap them whatever pipe size is right. Then have both drains go together and then just one line to the pan. The SC was only pullied 1.5:1 on the millenia, so it only turned about 10K RPMS max. The question is can it turn more. No compressor map exist on the internet for the compressor. I've emailed IHI several times and called and never got any info from them.

I suggest mounting one hotside. However, to pulley it up to make about 250whp you'll need an 8-9" crank pulley or a smaller snout pulley. If you have a machinist with roundstock that big, it's no problem. I also have the blueprints made up for the crank pulley. They are posted in my old threads as well as pictures of a millenia SC mounted hotside. Also, is the SC in good condition, as in the rotors are cleanish and not too oily or dark, and no oil puddling in the rotors or in the intercoolers? Make sure you get a good one.

Hey man I actually got the idea from you... The car was driving by an old lady and only has 30k miles even though I dont think that means much but it was dealer maintain until one of her grand kids "borrowed it" and will its smashed up pretty good on the side. Anyway I think its in good condition. But any help would be appreciated.

Advice: If the car has a grey interior, get all of it and sell it, it's super hard to find. People on Millenia forums will fight for it. Use all the money to help fund your SC build.

I have the car running on MS II. I haven't messed with the SC project in a while, I'm a college student. I'm counting the days, just 2 months 5 days and schools out for summer. I'm planing to do it this summer. I'm gonna install two though. I've been doing a lot of thinking and engineering on it though, trying to work out the design and do everything I can now to make it go quicker and easier when I'm building it.
