I'm a noob here, I don't even own an X-Type but I am on the quest to purchase one..... do you think the supercharger used on the mazda 6 and fusions can fit onto the x-type engine? I know they share the basic architecture and from there it differs alil.

Thoughts? I understand the hood and the tranny/differential are weak spots...

 

Bulger, you know the weaknesses. If you rebuild the transfer case and put the proper loading on the bearings, you might be good. If this is what you want, go after it and let us know. There are a lot of us that are curious about this. It should fit.

 

The original X type R was going to use an Eaton M90 strapped onto one of the banks (the one closest to the cabin).
There was extensive transmission and driveline modifications
