This is on Larry Ogden's site - long time NZ Club member, autorotor
supercharged MX5.

Are you sure this page is still current? (notice the copyright 1996...)
How did you find it? It looks like not much has been updated on his
site for a while (last date, 2001 that I can see). I don't hink he has
sold his car yet though.

And is that price $NZ or $US?

cheers

a very interesting read thank you. I've heard good things elsewhere about
this one. I have the Sebring 1.6L SC which is beside the Autorotor on the
comparison tables, and all the info seems pretty accurate for my car. The
article said 0-60 in 6.9 seconds - I've used a G-timer and got the same
result.

Bear in mind that you're looking at over NZ $4k to ship it here, plus
minimum 15 hours to install which you may or may not have to pay for
(depending on your DIY skills). You then need a LVVTA cert at around $300
minimum to get road legal. I wouldn't want to take it on unless I had a
spare $5k at least. But it does seem to be the best supercharger to get,
especially with all the extras it comes with. I don't think you'd need to
buy anything else (except bigger exhaust, bigger wheels and tyres, chromed
engine bay, custom paint job, boom sounds etc etc...)

I say, do it, then you can tell everyone else how it goes

Hi All,

This seems like a fair price.
I wonder what else is needed, and what the turn key price inc GST is.

I don't think the Autorotor kit has been available since about 1998/99...

Bell Engineering only offer turbo kits these days...
