Need your input, guys:
Alpine Performance stopped making superchargers for Hyundai/Kia 4cyl engines after the world's economy took a dump on every1, but on their site i read that they used the Eaton MP45 supercharger as a platform. This IS the same Eaton used on the Mini Coopers, right? So my first question is for the fabrication gurus: is it possible for a person to modify either the MP45 itself, or the intake manifold, to get the Mini SC to work on the Elantra?
I also, while reading/YouTubing about the MP45, found the Sprintex company out of Australia. At SEMA in 2011, they revealed a new SC they developed for the Mini. They have supercharger systems for the Tuscan, Accent and Jazz (known as the Honda Fit over here). So my 2nd question: would this be a good candidate? need to figure out where to buy one of these, or even a used Alpine SC.
3rd question: Have any of you guys, especially the KDM (Hyundai/Kia) crowd tried any supercharging, personally, or know anyone that has?
