Supercharger
« on: September 11, 2012, 09:28:22 PM »
I'm getting ahold of a mid-90's GM Eaton supercharger and want to retrofit it onto my bone-stock '75 Pinto. Can anyone advise me on the PSI vs the rings/pistons, and if I'll have to go with an intercooler of some sort? I can't stand the sound of a turbo...but want somthin a little wacky, if not this supercharger, any other oddball ideas?

Found a little green 'Frog' last tagged in '97, Time to give this frog a face lift, & some new feet.
 Whadda ya think would happen if I bolted a supercharger on his back while I'm at it?

Those blowers are made for EFI systems. Adapting one if you DON'T own a machine shop is nearly impossible. A 2.3L turbo is the way to roll.

I've got a small machine shop at my disposal if that counts for anything. lol. Would it be a bad idea to hook up the carb to where the EFI part goes?

Those blowers are dry. I don't think they were designed to have fuel run through them. If you could pipe it to pressurize the carb you could get away with it.

Pipe it? You mean pressurize the carb? Somthing like make the supercharger run into the carb..then into the engine?

Yeah, air into the blower would get compressed then pumped into a pressurized box that encloses the carb. Paxton blowers for carbs work this way.
