Default electric clutch on a Sc

Is it possible to put an electric clutch on a SC so that you can control when the SC is on rather than all the time??

yeah. I have seen people do it all the time. Just take the one out of your A/C compressor and weld it up to the input shaft of the S/C. Then you can be all trick, and push the A/C for the S/C. Maybe even make the button say S/C.

Ok. to clear up this thread.

SOME...not ALL Superchargers come with an electric clutch to engage them. Others just have a static pully that spins the S/C all the time

My supercharger that I have on my car is an electric clutched one off a mercedes SLK.

nobody here said that they all have an electric clutch. i think that most of us here know that superchargers are usually fixed on a belt. thats why WHISKEYDICKS45 was asking HOW to make an eletric clutch work. did you even read any of this thread?
