The way the hEaton does its job generates massive heat when you up the boost, the Harrop TVS version of the same thing is much much better, but then you pays your money you makes your choices.

Been doing some more reading on this and apparently you can get a Honda B16 turbo of ebay chop the flange off and weld a z18xe/x18xe1 one on and you're good to go
The TVS superchargers are completely different to the M45-M112 chargersOriginally Posted by Stuart
The Harrop TVS chargers are still Eaton cores, They are Eatons 5th generation charger's which are much more thermally efficient.
the M45, M62, M90 and M112 were 4th generation Eatons which were much less efficient.
Eaton make the charger cores for Harrop, Roush, Magnuson and Edlelbrock.
Harrop dont make supercharger cores, they just stick there name on them and distibute them for Eaton.

havnt read all the thread but just to let scott know.
ive built a c16xe turbo for less then 1k i did price it all up but have lost it.
i used a 200sx manifold then had a flange laser cut and welded onto the 200sx manifold running a T25 which came off a renault 5.
had a pipe welded in the sump for the oil return and got the feed from the oil pressure switch round the back of the pump which worked fine.
i then had the inlet made (which is now for sale as you know)
i ran a headgasket spacer of 4mm and it ran fine with 12psi boost
off the top of my head it cost no more then 800 quid so can be done on a budget.
theres a few pics in my build thread.
have got a few more if you want me to email them to you

what did you do regarding fuel (injectors) and map ( what ecu)?
ran x20xe injectors from a scrap yard. i acutally ran the standard ecu with an air mass meter on the turbo intake, the car ran lean at first but using a adjustable fuel pressure reg at 4 bar sorted that out :-)
it was on a budget and it wouldnt stretch to an ecu at the time.
i run my throttle bodies on megasquirt which isnt massively expensive if you wanted to run the engine on that.
So this 200sx manifold does it have similar port spacing to a small block?
And whats the standard compression of a c16xe and what did a 4mm decompression lower it to? Did you sandwich it between 2 head gaskets?
The 200sx manifold is very close apart from one port which was a simple job. cut a piece out and weld it back on, same as what people do when using them on c20lets. One other port needs g clamping and heating up to pull it closer to the number 2 port. The actual port size is pretty much identical.
The spacer was 4mm wedge between two head gaskets. Can't give you an exact compression drop but its enough to turbo it. Running Standard compression I think will be to much for it to last any amount of time.

On the Z18XE, Manifolds from Honda B16 Engines Mount Up Perfectly with the Ports they just need a Flange for the Exhasut Cutting off and Welding to the B16 Mani
