I haven't looked into the figures of the sprintex (that Paul will have done) but I guess that it's not very efficient, thus makes lots of heat and poor power. Just like an M45, but even worse. The only advantage over the M45 is probably packaging. Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

They are one of the most efficient superchargers... volumetric efficiency is around 90-94%...

Just been looking through the figures. And yes it's a bit crap. Sure it has some nice high efficiency figures, but they're all at 5psi. Anything decent like 15psi and you're looking at less than 50% efficient. Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

Would you run an SC in this setup anything other than 12PSI?

At 12psi you're looking at 60% efficient, with no IC that would be a hot charge and need some water. Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

The SC12 kit as a) It's cheaper and b) the carb is close enough to the charger not to suffer from carb icing. Downsides are that you have to get most/all of it from Australia and the chargers are not all that common. I was very impressed with the driveablity of Graham's car as a passenger. I don't like the M45 as the carb is miles away from the engine (icing) and it's really inefficient for the application. Not aware of anything else on the market that is available in kit form (aside from the one in the original topic that is in the pipeline). On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Andy, do you have a map for the SC12 ? Saul Bellow - "A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep."

Compressor map? Unfortunately there isn't one readily available on the interweb. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

My problem with the SC12 is that it is a simple two lobe roots blower.

oh and I'm just under 80bhp at the wheels. before all this stuff the car was measured at 24bhp at the wheels. I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

You'll get more power pr psi, you'll get better mpg, you can have a dump valve (which has be scientifically proven to get you more fanny). It's easier to run an intercooler, modern correctly sized turbos have lower boost thresholds and minimal lag.

If we're getting into debates about what constitutes a good set up and what doesn't I will just throw my latest idea out there.
