I had a look once and, seems not. I replied in the turbo thread have a look.

dang,i really want a supercharger instead of going turbo because of reliability.

Well it can be done but you will need to fab up your own intake how good are you with a welder?

In reality if you are good a fabbing a supercharger is easier then a turbo.

I don't know anything about the kit but it looks like everything you need is there except for the pulleys.

That's not for an e30.

[ballarde30]

Correct, it is for an M44 in an e36 but you can make it work with an M42 since they are very similar.

A friend of mine adapted a mini cooper supercharger to fit on his 92 318i cabrio. It did require some fabwork and he does own his own BMW service shop but his fab skills are limited and the end result still turned out clean. He was putting down roughly 200-230rwhp with this setup before selling the car. I can ask what was involved, but dont expect it to be cheap

M44 dasc kit fits e30, mine has one on it.

i dont understand why people think a supercharger is more reliable than a turbo charger...

[u3b3rg33k]

positive displacement = engine driven = pullies = consistent boost.

Perhaps that?

because they don't change their oil often enough?
