That setup could be customized to work with our M6. The location of intake, throttle body, and the belt is not much different.
For those who want to see more... search Ripp Supercharger (most commonly used on eclipses and tiburons).

Which side is the belt on for our cars? It kinda looks funny though. Would it still produce the same amount of HP as a regular SC? (not sure if the long drive shaft would cause HP loss)
Edit: theres a forum post on their website about this http://forum.rippmods.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_...rchTerms=mazda6 |

Here is the problem I have, it uses a jackshaft (That long tube with the pulley on the end). I don't think Vortech ever got it right on the Contour/Cougar application. They made three revisions to the kit before discontinuing it, and the jackshaft broke on all three revisions with little use.
I've always said the hood clearance is there for a Whipple or Eaton Lysholm-style compressor. The incredibly insane Kenne-Bell supercharged Mustang making 750-800 BHP with nothing more than a bolt-on supercharger, uses a large displacement Lysholm-style compressor. You would just loose the intake runners all together to clear the stock hood line, but who really cares about low end torque at 8 PSI and some 375 BHP? |

I'll find out whatever I can from them and let you guys know tomorrow.
Update: They told me:They don't currently know if any of their kits would fit as is, because they've never looked at a 6. If someone nearby would want to come down to them, they could check it out. They could always design a kit if you guys wanted it. Main point of the convo though - Someone with a V6 needs to go there. |

Holidays are the money making season though so I'll be working a lot, so it would take me a while to be able to get out there. any New Yorkers wanna volunteer? |

Rob Hey Rob! They probably would just want a few hours to poke around and see the fitment difference from kits they already make. As for doing a custom set-up if it's needed, I don't know how long they would need. They might not have any time available that soon because they have the AWD dyno, and it keeps them pretty busy. I'm asking now if they have any time open on Saturday. I don't want to tell you to come down if they give me the "we'll squeeze it in" line, because I don't want you to have to sit there bored all day. |
