here is the deal i have recently come in contact with some old buddie swith a machine shop. they are showing me the ropes and I would like to use my new found skills to supercharge my xb9sx. the biggest problem right now is i cant seem to find a place to just buy a supercharger . There are several kits for both super and turbo chargers . all i need is the supercharger , i will make th brackets and do the mods to my primary cover for the drive pully . If anyone has a clue where to purchase a blower let me know . also if you have some ideas on how to make it work better let me know . later dudes

There is quite a bit more to it than just brackets and tubes what not. Although the cost seems high, the kits have been tested and most of the bugs worked out. I too am like you and like to use my machining skills to fab things. But sometimes it's better to "farm" out some things. I would say this may be one of them. However, if you do find a turbo/blower and decide to fab it up your self, I would love to see some pics posted on the board and a report of how it works out.

You may want to ask this in the engine section of the Knowledge Vault.
Also you may want to get in touch with Jens of Hillbilly-Motors.
His english is pretty good and his knowledge is great.
They have a kit, but Jens will help you I'm sure, he may even be able to point you in the right direction for a kitless blower.

thanks for the imput . I would love to find out who came up with the last housing integrated with the primary cover , very cool . Also i am aware of the potential bugs and have made arrangements with my local motorcycle shop to use their dyno and their diagnostic program tools . Has anyone actually bought a stand alone supercharger ? later dudes.

Check with Supergriz on www.suzukihayabusa.org in the turbo section. He has a shop in Berkeley CA that does supercharger stuff with the Rotrex's IIRC. I have his site bookmarked at work computer so I can look on fri.

Looks like Jens from HillBilly-Motors knows what he's doing. His English is great, and his customer service and products are outstanding.





This is Jens's HellBender Bike... it was featured in some magazines a while back, and is truly astonishing to see in person.
