    Very nice, I can't wait to see the final results. Are you planning on selling these and if so what would a ball park guesstimate be for the cost?

    Keep up the good work man!!!

    also, side-by-side performance comparisons to the Alpine would be nice as well.

    Finally you put some photos up, I thought you forgot all about this project.
    Seems like changing the serpentine belt would be a royal pain and you would need to remove the SC bracket. Also, I see that you got rid off the mechanical fan assembly and went to electric?

    The serpentine belt on the Alpine s/c is the same way Volume311, the bracket still has to be removed to change it.

    Looking good!
    This is a nice alternative, these SCs can be picked up on EBay and parts are more readily available.
    Also, there looks to be the potential for intercooling here.

    whats the price/performance ratio of these types of setups as compared to the alpine?

    I'd guess that the hp/dollar factor is going to be nearly identical.

    Each type has its own pros though.
    The Alpine is definately a slick, OEM style install.
    The Centrifugal unit is upgradeable.
    The Alpine is quieter.
    The Centrifugal sounds cooler.

    I suppose that it's just a matter of preference.
