I would say it would go boom, but only a guess.
But what if you gear it to have the same max rev's as on a mini.
The mini is say 1275 cc where as a bec typically what 600 to 900 cc so consider it in terms of air flow and work it out and you probably do not need
to spin the supercharger as you would the engine.

Why do I have to make the tools to finish the job? More time then money.

Depends on the pulleys, on a car it runs off the crank on a large pulley, mayde 4 x the size of the charger pulley, if the charger is designed with a
max of 12,000rpm then run with a pulley ratio of 1:1, simples

The mini (BMW type) is most likely to be the donor for a supercharger. They are 1600cc.
Put the right sized pulley on and it should provide boost in the right place, Whether it's sized correctly I'll leave to the experts.

both pulleys are about the same size so 1:1 ratio won,t be far off. Just read a post on mini forum,sombody was spinning up to 20,000rpm with out
problems ,so back to the garage.

Most of the graph's iv'e seen give the m45 a max rpm of 14,000, however the inlet temps shoot up after about 10,000rpm as does the power
needed to drive the charger, (approx 20hp at 14,000 rpm) so i guess the law of diminishing returns takes effect.
You would think 1:1 would work ok in a bec provided you can keep the inlet temps down at max revs, would suspect a decent intercooler would do this.
hardest bit would be modding the crank to accept the drive.

More like at least a 1000cc (though iirc blade engine was just over 900), but R1 - 1000; ZZR1100; CBR1100; GSXR1300 etc etc

Iv sorted the pulley on the crank,think it originaly was a Rotrex part, and looking for a intercooler and s2000 injectors. I will just have to keep
the revs down to get the best out of the supercharger,well il try.

Could you not use meth injection to lower the intake temps and increase fuel octane while on boost

You'll need to work out how much boost you will get and if the engine will stand the pressure or go booooommmm.
