Default Bottom mount superchargers

A quick question, I've been searching through the forum, but not really had any success. Does anyone else but TTS make a bottom mount supercharger kit for the F20C?

I can only find the TTS kit, plus a thread about someone having the bracketry custom made.

I should add, the engine isn't installed in an S2000, so no air conditioning gear to worry about. Lack of under bonnet space also means that the "conventional" positions for the charger, in front of the engine, just don't really work.

Inline Pro, PFAB, just about any of the log manifolds are bottom mount.

As I say, it's not an S2000, it's a Seven type small light weight two seater (similar to a Caterham). The supercharger just suits this application far more than turbo. Especially as any ultimate power advantages the turbo may have don't come into it. (The cars are traction limited, so S2000 style big numbers are pointless).

Nothing against the TTS set up, just trying to find out if there are other/better options. (We seem a little limited here in the UK when it comes to info.)

The HKS supercharger setup is designed for the compressor to sit within the profile of the engine, above the exhaust manifold. Although it isn't cheap and it makes the least amount of power out of all popular supercharger setups.

Kraftwerks mounted down low. Don't think they make them anymore though.

The older model Kraftwerks kit did however that is no longer available. The new model mounts to the front of the engine like the other centri sc kits out there.

As someone else mentioned I believe the HKS does sit down the lowest however it is more expensive than all others and makes very low power it seems.
