Back in the early-mid '90s there was a shop in the Port Orange/South Daytona area that did it a few times. The intake runners from the stock injection where used with a 66CID roots style blower & a big carb. IIRC, the blower made ~6lbs of boost and the engine put out maybe ~175hp. It's a pretty low tech setup when you consider the hotrod parts, engine managment systems, and information that we have access to now, but this was super badass back in the day. One of the supercharged cars this shop built made it into a VW & Porsche magazine. I have a scan of the article I can post if anyone wants to see it.

Here you go. My current project car is one of the supercharged cars that came from this shop. The motor in mine was blown up and is long gone, tho. I've seen 2 more of the cars recently that are still on the road. Anyway, here is the article.

I'd be interested in seeing more on how the belt drive was set up.

Interesting! Interesting! I can see "the black EVIL ARTS of the good Dr. Evil working overtime on this subject". Old technology but still provides additional dependable horsepower.

Need to learn more about this.

I always liked the idea of running a Kompressor on a T4.

I think it would be a perfect match ...

I just posted the other day in another thread:

It would be interesting to put a toyota 6 cyl, front wheel drive engine (camry, solara) in the rear of a 914.

You can put on a TRD supercharger for under $2500 and have >250 HP.

I always wondered if I could fit a 6cyl transverse automatic in the 914....

How does this drive off the engine? I still don't get that, and would like to see it. Interesting the old school belt- non-ribbed, and the slight amount of wrap on the SC drive pulley. The 4 rib we use on the 240 HP miata I've been codriving for autocross this season has a ton of wrap and is about at its limit- more boost will require us to go to a 6 rib.

Something like that would be interesting with SDS or megasquirt to control spark and some fuel injectors mounted in the factory runners. Wonder if we could design an A/W intercooler/plenum to go under the s/c and pump up the boost...

(still like the 914 > miata for autox, but it was a fun co-drive for this season)

Awesome!!!! I have been looking for this article for years. I remember reading it and keeping the mag for future reference, but after about 5 moves, it is long gone.

Thanks for the scan!

Use a pulley like the one I am using on my A/C setup. I believer they were for bus / type 4 engines.
