ran some calculations on how the AMR500 supercharger would fair up on the Z14XE

Supercharger: AMR500 (Small i know but hear me out)
Dimensions: 170mm Long x 180mm wide x 130mm tall
Displacement: 500cc per revolution.
Safe working limit: 16000rpm

1.4L x 6500( Assumed redline) = 9100/2 = 4550 liters per min
5(psi)+14.7(psi at atmo) = 19.7/14.7 = a boost ratio of 1.340 br

Air requirement at Boost
4550(lpm)x1.340(br) = 6097 Liters per min at 5psi at 6500rpm

Charger rpm required
6097/0.5(charger displacement) = 12194rpm (safe working limit for the AMR500 is 16000rpm)
Pully ratio required
12194/6500(redline) = 1.876:1

Unsure of the Drive belt pully size on the Z14XE But can always work that out later

HP increase figures are as such:
1.4x8hp = 11.2hp (rough power increase per 1psi of boost)
11.2hp x 5psi = 56 hp
90hp (factory) + 56 = 146hp at the flywheel (not accounting for HP loss to drive the supercharger)
146x0.745= 108kw at the flywheel (not accounting for kw loss to drive the supercharger)
torque would equal 161nm at the flywheel @6500rpm, Substantially more lower down in the rev range(not accounting for HP loss to drive the supercharger)
= 42kw/51nm gain at 5psi

Pop in some z18xe injectors which will hopefully fit, Tune the ECU, Pop an exhaust on and have some fun Click here to enlarge

Unsure what the strength of the auto box is though. that would be the real question if it could keep up with the power.
Two things, the auto box is an AF13 in this model. I would guess this is an equivalent to the F13 manual box. I know the F13 is capable of handling a stock Z18. Astra I think uses the AF17, which could possibly be a direct fit into the Corsa.

Other thing is, the Z14XE uses the Delphi HSFI 2.1 ECU, yet another different ECU in the Corsa C.
