Anyone heared about the HBM supercharger. I found it on ebay and I am in contact with them on the possible fitment to my 3s-ge engine.

What you think??

I'm in contact with them and let you know. You can actually buy the turbo-like thing only and they will also supply an alternator pulley to extend a belt to drive the turbo at the front.

It is the best way to go as we have much more space in front of the alternator that at the back of it. They have no website but are quick in replying.

I am waiting for them to quote a price for the turbo-like thing and pulley only.

I've never heard of a $300 turbo setup but I'm interested in this for 3 reasons:

1. That thing will only give 5 psi to my 3s-ge (10.5:1 compression) engine so will run more engine fiendly then a turbo

2. I would reduce traction issues as there is no "turbo kick" the boost will be pregressive

3. Its never been done on the 3s-ge (or nearly never).

Will let you know
