Looking for a Sprintex supercharger kit or similar

As some of you know my custom ride, I have a 2007 Honda Fit Sport automatic setup in my 3 wheel trike. So it's time to finally get more power and I think the easiest setup would be the Sprintex supercharger kit. It's discontinued by company but looking for help locating one or a similar application. I don't think I have enough room for turbo. I would probably have to do alot of modifications which I'm not crazy about. So hope I get some feedback. Thanks guys.

Sprintex response!

So Sprintex says they would need 100 orders before they could start making them again for the Honda Fits😳

Won't work on the 2007 motor. The kit is designed for GE Fit motors. That was 2009-2013 in the US.

As much as I love our GD Fit, I can't imagine picking it's drivetrain to swap into anything. Especially not with the lackluster automatic. Can you just go with a better engine swap? Maybe a K series?

I wish I could. I bought the frame with the engine setup in it and build it from there. I actually got the sprocket ratio where it needs to be to get better top end but now it's desiring more power. Here is a pic of my custom project I completed myself and a few pics how I bought the frame with engine.

I can see you put a ton of work into it! Looks like a very finished product!

You are on the right track looking into boost because there's nothing substantial to be gained from anything else. That's coming from someone that tried the Hondata, intake, header, camshaft, throttle body, etc mods. All together it still made very little power.

The Sprintex won't work because it was never made for that engine. Kraftwerks made a rotrex based kit, but they are long gone and I seriously don't think it would fit since they are driven from the crank. I really think your only hope would be a custom turbo kit. Does look tight though!

You could buy one of the eBay manifolds and try a test fit - https://www.ebay.com/itm/15362380915...MAAOSw68NdaVEJ

Wow, that's the wildest thing I've seen in a while!

You can try bolting on an Aisin AMR500 (or 300) supercharger. If you can fit in an AC compressor, you can probably fit in this supercharger.

@mobby_6kl thanks. And wow I will have to research that Aisin. Looks possible to work. I just realized I don't have room to do turbo since it replaces the header so that option you sent could possibly work. Thanks again. Here's a pic of my header. Gas tank right in front of it with heat shield protection.
