has anyone super charged a Vitara 1600 16v, would like some info if possible
will use SC 12 with electric clutch, standard pulleys with blow off value,
but if anyone has some advise,it would be appricated

Seen one or two . There was a guy on t-me tring to sell kits to bolt on to the 16v , search old listings . I have one here to bolt on to my cousins 8v but since he has not touched the thing in about a year I will never get done .

Wonder how it would go on a 1300cc motor.

That is exactly what I was wondering too.

It works pretty mint but if I was going to do it again I would probally use a small turbo instead.....

found this on trade me and thought it might be relivant

hey madaz,

did you have problems with your super? or do you just prefer turbo's?

i would like to power my 'scud up a bit, and been toying with the idea of a super for a while. not many people seem to have done this though, or they have and it went badly wrong cuz no posts or build threads that i can find. no useful ones anyway.

Nah, had no issues at all with the supercharger or setup.
Only problem was there was no way to get the multi rib belt to stop slipping when you drove in rivers, so if i ever do another supercharger setup i would use toothed belts

Was reading somewhere lately about using the bottom half of the 16v intake manifold and a new set of tubes etc run from a roots charger (although a centrifical one would work also) made up and fitted to the top. Not sure on the airflow meter positioning, temp sensors and intercooling required, but I would assume a new ECU would be required.

I'll post up a engine bay picture in the next couple of nights

hello

this is a bit off topic but you might be able to help, when you have the electic clutch, how does the air flow through the charger?

cheers
