unfortunatly the setup is a centifugal supercharger. We dont have room in the engine bay for this type of setup.

when using the correct centrifugal Supercharger there is in fact enough room.

That's a 60+ HP increase over stock for a Honda Fit.
Yes, its a smaller engine, but the Rotrex s/c's are very efficient, small and powerful blowers.

well i think it would fit if it were put behind the engine like the turbo...but i dont know how well that would work due to the fact that i dont know much about superchargers

The Rotrex supercharger works very much like a turbo. In fact the volute (compressor housing) and impeller are exactly the same as a Turbo.
The difference comes in how the impeller is driven and who is responsible for offering up the energy to spin it. Turbo guys like to say that the exhaust is wasted energy and S/C guys like to say that the energy taken from the crank is negated by having a free flowing exhaust.

While the Procharger isn't the smallest S/C on the market it does make a lot of power. Additionally a company already has a basic S/C system using prochargers in FWD ECOTEC applications. They mount it on the passenger fender well in place of the washer tank and on the opposite side of the accessory belt than the engine. Very similar to what is seen here.
