AFAIK, the SC has it's own internal oil supply.
with custom fabbing AC lines, it will be harder than a comptech SC.

Correct on the oil - $60 worht of oil every 20-30k miles

Just curious as to what the wait is on production? The kit seems very simple since there is no need to fabricate a new manifold or other parts that will affect flow. And since the kit could easily be offered in "tuner" form I'm not sure what the delay could be unless it is related to production/distribution.
I'm also curious how hard it would be to create a similar setup with a Lysholm 1600 blower since the M62 is limited to 8-9psi the Lysholm should be good for 10-15psi at lower temps (but a higher cost).

AFAIK Comptech stated the oil in their M62 did not need changed till 50-70k miles.

The MP62 is capable of more than 9 PSI - depends on the engine. There are some Miata guys getting 14 PSI.
I know nothing about the Lusholm blowers

So what is the MP62 going to be capable of on the F20C or F22C?
The Lysholm blower is a twin-screw compressor. Whipple or Autorotor are other brands. Comptech uses it on the NSX.

I will be testing a couple of different pulley sizes soon - with my current setup I am seeing 8 PSI (have not dyno'd yet).

Excuse my ignorance but is there a way to calculate how much boost a blower will make at a given impeller rpm? What are the variables involved? Spinning the MP62 at that speed on a K20 motor would result in around 9psi. I'm wondering why you're only seeing 6.8psi.
