I was looking into ways to do odd things to make more power. What else is new. I came across a standard, root type supercharger hooked up to a corvair engine that was pretty kick ass. I like superchargers in that they are cleaner to install that turbos and do not have the lag. Then, I found the Vortech centrifugal superchargers and felt that these just might be an interesting way to bolt on power.
http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com/catego...n=SUPERCHARGERS Cheap? No friggen way, but cool! Used ones can be gotten for much less if you know what model to use. I need to read up on what is required of an engine to be supercharged vs turbo charged if there is a difference in configuration. An interesting aside for my specific interests regarding the reverse running corvair engine; the 4cyl Honda ones would be easily adaptable, possibly. The only problem I see is that there are no 3.1L honda 4cyl engines. So, what do y'all know about supercharging? How about thoughts on doing it to a TIV or any other power plant that we could throw into our cars? |

Yup, the plan is the 230 SLK SC to be used (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Cheaper, available, not needed to be mounted on the intake.
SC can be mounted like an AC compressor. The centrifugal ones are smaller, easy to place, but $$$. Turbos lag, SC is linear and can start boosting from 1500rpm up. I have heard of twin turbo, how common is twin SC? |
