They don't seem to have the cfm for much over 1700 cc engines , although I have seen one on a 1904 type one..

Adapted, sure!
Not sure how easy the adaptation would be. This is an upright cooling setup with a fairly robust crank pulley that can be doubled to run the SC belt. Plus it doesn't have a sloping firewall where that SC pulley is. --DD |

I am a HUGE fan of trying to SC a T4. I have a plan for my 1.8 in the '74 and don't really mind if I blow it up.
I remember a supercharged pic on this site but it was some old. I have also seen a turbo one with ITBs and cannot remember where or if it ended well. A friend picked one of these up at a PnP in S. CA this year for $85: https://www.ebay.com/p/off-Eaton-M45-OEM-A1...7626&chn=ps A custom pulley and some aluminum plenum fab. Then blow through some ITBs like these: https://www.borlainduction.com/weber-ida-replacements.html Add engine management and BOOM probably. That SC whine just behind your head...oh my! Probably a dumb idea but it might be fun to try. |

My buddy is adapting one for a 40hp bug motor that he has in his '53 bug.
He has the original 25hp engine, but that needs 5 miles on a 45* downhill with a tailwind to hit 60mph. |

Copy of instructions for Judson II SC:
https://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/lit/ju...nstructions.pdf I kind of remember ads for Judsons in Popular Mechanics or similar back in the 60s (well I think it was the 60s) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |

Mario at theDubshop has run one of those SC's on his 1600 Beetle with nice results.
