I recently finished an AC delete on my 240 and was wondering what I could possibly do with the void in the engine bay formerly occupied by the compressor.
I landed on the idea of a supercharger. Perhaps something like an Aisin SC12 (MR2), SC14 (Previa), or an Eaton M62 (Mercedes). The SC12 should fit without much hassle in the compressors former location but the SC14 or M62 will most likely require relocating the PS pump to another accessory mount. I could move the alternator to the other side of the engine bay and use that mounting point for a larger supercharger and intercooler piping.
I also found that Aisin makes a small 500cc supercharger that would fit almost exactly where the compressor used to be. If my math is right then it would give me about 6.2 PSI of boost with a 1:2.5 pulley ratio. About one PSI short of a stock B230FT. Although that would be pushing the supercharger to its limits. I can put two of those together but it would get complicated fast. I mostly entertain this option because it seems simple and cheap if the math works even though it is incredibly stupid.
For engine management and fuel I have the LH 2.4 computers from a 740 turbo and orange top injectors from an 850 turbo. I hope to make something in the neighborhood of 150-160HP.
These are just my musings from the last day or so of brainstorming ideas. I am looking at the supercharger instead of a turbocharger because I like the idea of taking the road less traveled and I hate doing exhaust work. Ideally this would be an easy bolt on-bolt off mod when finished.
This is still very much conceptual at this point and I would appreciate some input or criticisms.
