Thanks to Tango I have found some sites that work on Eco tech engines. Places like Hahn Racecraft make turokits for the the Eco tech.

For this application of being smaller, but then a 2.4L engine, having a single wheel in the back, WHat would be a better option on the slingshot a turbo or a supercharger. I live in the lotus world and they have dropped the turbos and now use supercharger.

Wold like to know your expert opinions

We will be developing an electric supercharger for the Slingshot. Should be good for a 45-50hp bump.

Sounds interesting. Can't wait to see the price on that. Complete bolt on I am guessing?

Oh sorry guys I see there was a forum set up for forced induction.

But within that I have read that yes it is easy to get up to 250 300 HP. But this could start to cause problems with the belt. I guess a chain can take a lot more power.

????????????

If this is the case why not just change to a chain? Is it heavy, ugly, expensive, or would you have to change a lot to go a chain?

yes, full bolt-on. We have such a kit for the Scion FR-S/BRZ/FT86 and Mazda MX5. Installs in a few hours, completely reversible and should bump up power to the 220-230hp level on the Ecotec engine.

IF this works, it would be a fantastic addition! How much is the Miata kit you cited?

The MX5 kit sells for approx $2500 with our handheld ECU programmer (0penFlash Tablet) included. Until we get our Slingshot, it's hard to project if the price will be similar. But I think the bigger challenge may be cracking the ECU encryption than fitting the ESC. We'll see soon...
