can u supercharge an evo VIII
i am looking at buying an evo VIII and installing a supercharger. i see lots of info on turbos but nothing on superchargers. do they not work as well or something and has anyone tried supercharging an evo and can tell me what they thought

Hmmm, you could do it but the turbo set up has been done to death and is well understood. Unless your just trying to do something different I don't see the point of supercharging it.

Ever heard of spool? With a surcharger there is no spooling. No lag. instant power. Yes you can and yes it has been done already and last time I read that a shop in the UK was adding a small roots SC near the back of the motor and towards the bottom.

you need to NOT buy anything evo related...in fact dont even buy a mitsu. you know what...get a bike....the peddle kind.
your misinformed and i promise you dont have enough money to make a supercharger work on and evo. but i can say that when your project goes in the dumper ill gladly buy it for next to nothing. besides HP per pound of boost is a turbo all the way.
awesome first post. put your flame suit on!!!

Seems as though you don't know a whole lot about these cars, which is fine. Your asking questions which isn't bad either. Be prepaired to catch some flack for this post, but take it in stride, its just the way people are on this forum.
For an answer, it just doesn't make much sense and would cost a ton to make comparable power. It comes from the factory turbo charged for a reason. It proven, reliable power. Also is you buy a IX you get a stronger turbo that can make a great deal of power on the stock turbo. Hope this helps.
