The SC14 Supercharger Line Up !👈 Home 👈 Follow US 👈 Lets Collaborate 👈 An SC14 Supercharger The “S14” supercharger is typically sold as an SC14-style Roots-type blower marketed as a universal unit rather than a Corolla-specific kit. On many listings such Hangkai, Amazon and Ebay, it’s presented as a “universal” supercharger with a stated engine “displacement” suitability of 2.0–3.5L and overall size around 40×30×28 cm (with packaging slightly larger). Because it’s universal, the key point is that its not a bolt-on Corolla solution. The compressor hardware  can be adapted if you design the brackets, belt drive, intake plumbing, and engine management around it. Functionally, this style of unit is a Roots blower, meaning it’s a positive-displacement supercharger: it moves a fixed volume of air per revolution and tends to build boost quickly as RPM rises. Roots blowers are known for strong volumetric delivery (often staying high across much of the operating range), but the...

Eaton M45 Supercharged 3S-GE Setup! 👈 Home 👈 Follow US 👈 Lets Collaborate 👈 A 3S-GE Motor A “complete” Eaton M45-supercharged 3S-GE setup is basically an exercise in packaging a small positive-displacement blower so it feeds the engine cleanly, stays cool, and can be tuned safely. The M45 itself is a roots-type supercharger with about 45 in³ (0.74 L) swept volume per revolution, so it’s well suited to modest boost on ~2.0 L engines when spun within reason and paired with a bypass valve for drivability. Mechanically, the heart of the build is the mounting bracket + belt drive and the intake manifold/adaptor. You need a rigid bracket (no flex = stable belt tracking), correct pulley alignment, an idler/tensioner arrangement that keeps belt wrap on the blower pulley, and an inlet tract that doesn’t choke the M45. On the outlet side, you either fabricate a manifold that puts the blower discharge into the plenum evenly, or you run a short discharge into a plenum box feeding runners. A by...

Eaton M62 Supercharged 3S-GE Setup! 👈 Tune Setup 👈 Home 👈 Follow US 👈 Lets Collaborate 👈 A 3S-GE Motor A complete Eaton M62–supercharged 3SGE setup begins with understanding the fundamental nature of the engine family itself. Across all five generations, the 3SGE is a high-revving, naturally aspirated 2.0-liter engine with strong cylinder head flow, relatively high compression, and a reputation for durability when kept within its design limits. The Eaton M62, being a Roots-type positive displacement supercharger, pairs well with these engines because it provides instant boost and strong midrange torque without the complexity of turbo plumbing. However, because most 3SGEs were never designed for boost from the factory, the success of an M62 build depends heavily on conservative boost pressure, excellent tuning, proper cooling, and strong fuel delivery. The goal is not maximum dyno numbers, but rather a reliable, street-friendly power increase that complements the 3SGE’s naturally r...

M20A-FKS Supercharged Setup! 👈 Home 👈 Follow US 👈 Lets Collaborate 👈 An M20A-FKS Motor The vF Tuner supercharger kit for the M20A-FKS (and related A25A engine family) presents an intriguing opportunity for performance gains on Toyota’s newer “Dynamic Force” naturally aspirated engines. According to vF Tuner’s product page, the kit includes a complete bolt-on supercharger system for the M20A / A25A 2.0L/2.5L engines, a WiFlash handheld programming device, 91 and 93 octane off-the‐shelf calibrations, and a built-in air-charge cooler.
