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!!!

Live Free or DIE!
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?
Awesome! Keep it up. Makes me want to get crackin' on my VX now. I have been lazy and need to get the ball rollin'.![]()

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.
