I think Atikins makes the only one in large quantities ... ie they're selling it on their website. Not sure why you want to go supercharger though... but hey to each their own.

Good luck on your boosted rotary

I don't want to get rid of my exhaust system that i have, and from what i read on superchargers, going that way is far easier than turbo.

it might be easier but there are many benefits of a turbo (efficiency, efi assuming t2 swap, large aftermarket support etc) hey i'm all about N/A so don't shoot me

I think they discuessed somewhere on this forum why the supercharger wasn't too great on a rotary engine. Of course you would do research on it before you spent all your hard earned money, and it is YOUR money, so spend it however you please

efi/egi same deal.. ok i wouldent go wiht a supercharger because.. in short you loose most your power up at high revs SC's give you torque the main thing that a rotary lacks.. its gives good torge donw in low RPM range.. but thats about it..

I talked to atkins when he came down to Gainesville for the Pistons vs Rotaries event. He had a Supercharged 13B on display. He told me the engine makes 285hp and 25mpg. Now that's awesome. I'm ready to sell my T2 engine and get one of those.
