    so now that the sweet instructions are available, where can someone find one of these superchargers ? is it just an Alpine supercharger (Eaton M62). or is there some other specifics ?

    Unfortunately, Alpine is no longer producing these kits...

    Here is the best hope... http://vehicross.info/forums/showthr...t=supercharger

    Robbomaz is our last hope for getting the S/C on our horses.

    On his last post he mentioned about how he was working on the manifold layout & "melting some aluminium". & that the rear of the S/C will be located on the same side as the eaton M62

    He also said that alpine is working on casting a new intake pipe because it needs to be a lil different to suit the new eaton M90.

    Hopefully by the end of the year we can see some stuff done so better start saving enough buckies ( $$$$$ ) to pay for it
    Dakar was just the begining.

    Been a while since I logged in, but this IS progressing, and will to most extents be an Alpine kit
    I have had several conversations with Alpinesport and (I have just updated in the SC thread) am expecting an email or call any day to say the sample manifold is ready.
    Inlet pipe and manifold will look almost exactly like the one shown here. They mentioned that they have tweaked the inlet pipe to fix some minor things they weren't happy with originally, and of course the SC will be a 90-series.
    Two events I can't wait for: getting this running on our cars, and once it is adding a Haltech to our test mule & boostin' her up on the dyno
    Nice write-up too!

    The answer is more power! What was the question?
