Wonder which model Eaton
M45,M60,M90 or maybe a M112
Each number represents Cubic inches of displacement that the blower has
My 2002 Lightning has the M112 and just put a lower 4# boost pulley on so I'm making 12# of boost over the factory 8#
And about Mazda saying you can't FI the RX8 thats only Turbo because of the already cooler exhaust not being able to convert to CO2 in the converter S/C is strickly motor driven not exhaust gas like turbos.:D

Help me to understand. I thought that superchargers, especially the smaller, lower powered ones were low to near no maintenance compared to their turbo counterparts, and if properly installed would increase efficiency and power with marginal, if any long-term internal structural integrity issues on an engine, rotary or otherwise. I'm open to any input or suggestions.

Many tuners who have been installing turbos for years have goten very good and very reliable.
BTW, the Eaton supercharger operated at moderate boost is spec'ed to last 100,000 before overhall.
