if you plan to turbocharge your max, it is very experimental and everything is generally custom. If it were me(it may be) I would go to the junk yard and pick up an old T-3 or similar off a 300ZX paying attention to why its in the junkyard and miles on the car. You would pay maybe 175....

Czars right...

only way to do turbo is custom, but just to clarify things(if this is what your question is asking) HKS doesn't make a "bolt-on turbo kit" for our cars.

Has anyone seen....

the bolt on superchargers. Not the TRD's or for the 4th gens. It's by Powerdyne for $2,299. It almost looks like a belt driven version of the electric turbo thingy that installed inline with the intake everyone thought was a rip off! First I've seen of this Powerdyne, or has it been around for awhile?

Thanks Da-Max

That's it! From the pics in the mags, it almost looks like it's supposed to replace the A-C unit or something. Maybe it comes with custome pre made brackets per application? I've not called, it just looks like it needs to grow up or something before it does anything!

I'm afraid...

supercharging a 3rd gen is still along the lines of "custom applications"! I just saw the Powerdyne unit in my SCC I got today, looks like its only for the usual cars........*drumroll*........THE CIVIC!!!!! not surprising 'eh!?
