damn that really sucks about craig macks car. Id be choked if that happened to me. Sounds like a crazy setup, id be interested to try it, but as it stands now schooling is consuming all my time.

yeah that would suck sooo bad. So much time and money invested into it, and maybe enjoyed it properly running for 1-2 day tops? Its a shame to be honest with you. Especially considering he was the pioneer of this setup.

So its almost like this set-up:
This one looks like it would look nicer though.
I had repo'd an Eclipse with this type of supercharger and it looked like it would work on our car, but you would need to remove and fabricate a new mounting plate so it would fit on the VQ.

oh... no wonder the Eclipse seemed pretty slow on take off (it was automatic)How would the Eclipse set-up differ from your set-up matty, other than mounting? I really dont know much about superchargers and turbos, so sorry... I guess you can call me a

All of Craig's drivability issues were fixed before the car was totalled. He just never bothered to say much about it, and only had the car running properly maybe a couple hours tops before it was totalled. That's the irony of the situation.
His problems were quite easily fixed, and were really pretty much dumb oversights on his (or his mechanic's) part. He had the throttlebody and MAF in the "stock" location, that was his main problem. Look at, say, a Grand Prix GTP (or most any other factory-equipped M90 car); they have their MAF and throttlebody attached BEFORE the blower. That way you're not blowing the charged air right into the MAF, and you don't need a BOV at all, either. Theoretically you could have the throttlebody in the stock location with a BOV as long as the BOV was recirculated (to before the MAF). As far as charge pipe problems, Matty, I'm not really sure what you're referring to.

The factory M60 on my tow truck - on the VG33... The Frontier and Xterra had this option for a couple of years.
The TB and MAF are ahead of the blower. Wish someone could adapt some of this to a VQ...
Anyone know how the LIM compares between the two engine series?
