| Briskodian | On a more serious note...is this feasible? Eaton supercharger from a mini? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...506243641&rd=1 or a larger one from a merc http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...936542589&rd=1 what i want to know is is it physically possible to use one on a 1.4mpi (8 valve) engine or not. ? i'm not entirely sure if the pulley business is doable. if it is any help would be vastly appreciated...bearing in mind i want something different to the usual 'turbo' route..and fancy a nicer noise  any help - ross you know cars better than most it seems...is it possible? |

| Im sure there was a post on here about a month ago where someone had turbocharged a 1.4mpi..  not sure about supercharging... dont think it would give enough power to cost to be worthwhile

| As Neo said you can Supercharge a 1.4 but there is a massive power drain as the supercharger is run directly off the engine. Saying that it would be great to see a 1.4 supercharged lump
