There is not a very large aftermarket support for that car. I can tell you that you probably wont be able to find a ready made kit for it. Anything forced induction on that car will have to be custom.

Then you better stop dreaming -- superchargers (ones that actually work) are looney toons expensive and a bear to install unless you purchase a kit specfically designed for your car. If you try to cobble one together you will spend weeks fabricating brackets, relocating things like power steering pump, alternator, etc. When you're done you have to 'tune' the engine management computer to handle the positive air induction or your car will run like crap. Better stick to chrome wheels and neon lamps until you can afford a REAL muscle car.

Why do you need to supercharge your car? You are not going to find one cheap. No engine modifications are cheap, period. Also if you do find one I'd consider rebuilding your engine. I'm guessing your car has quite a few miles on it since it's a 93. You could do some serious damage to your engine by supercharging if you haven't built it to handle the power.

I agree with the other posts. If you were to go with some form of forced induction, a turbocharger kit would be the better route, and even that would be dicey unless it's ready-made to run with your engine. Should you be dead set on increasing your motor's output, I'd go with the following:AEM cold air (V2 model, if available)A good cat-back exhaustLow restriction catalytic converter (except in Calif.)HeadersIridium plugsHigh lift camsECM module (aka, 'chipset')The above would provide your motor with up to a 25% overall improvement while avoiding the messiness of trying to custom fab a supercharger or turbocharger solution.

Inexpensive supercharger is an oxymoron. There is none for the Legend. Think of something else.

Well first off, superchargers are a minimum of $3,500. thats not installed. and your car has no kit available. Your only option is turbo charging. If you plan on going this route look to spend about $5,000-$7,000 due to the amount of fabrication that would be involved in making everything to fit your car.

There is no supercharger or turbo system that fits the 91-95 Legend's. You possibly could custom make one, but only one person I know of has claimed they were able to do this but still haven't seen any proof from them. If you could do it expect the cost's to run at least 5 grand.Now since your car is a 93, a pretty cheap modification you can do it to replace the intake/ head from your with one from either a GS sedan or LS coupe. This is the type II intake and will give you about 30 more horsepower.
