supercharger on a supra

[Supra2NR]

to anybody that think a supercharger is the pretty good at boosting
your wrong

i saw a research between superchargers and turbos
and turbo won by a mile
the psi diffrence from 8 - 10
even the dependability not even close
so i wouldnt waste my money trying to customize and inferior system for my car

pple might say it will be cheaper it will be less trouble
so what? whats the point of spending money customizing a bunch of things for your and it cant even show what your car is really made of
or tap the hidden power of your engine

the 550cc stock injectors should be fine... i wouldnt change them unless u really have to... just because its more $ outta your pocket for probably nothing atall, maybe more fuel loss thats aka lil boost but prob not worth it in the end.

one of my auto buddies is in the process of putting a supercharger and a turbo in his camaro ... ill let ya'll know how that works out... cuz im still clueless on the idea

This is an old post haha.....Supran2r, You were probably reading about centrifugal superchargers. They do suck on paper, and reliability, But you have to ride in a car with one . Thatll change your mind. The reason they suck is because it is basically a turbo, Designed to spin at a certain RPM which is reach fast by the turbo and then kept by the wastegate. The cent. style has to run at the speed of the motor, So it is only at its peak efficiency for a short time unlike a turbo. But this is very very fun haha. But anyway, I was thinking of using a roots style blower. Like the eaton m61 from a clk230/lots of other cars, Or the eaton ones that came on the SC 3.8 v6s in buicks and pontiacs. On the already pretty powerful 7m motor, It would probably mnake about 290-300 hp. Anywhere from about 1900 rpms and up. Roots style blowers make power from idle all the way up, They just have limited ammounts of boost at high rpms. Look at top fuel dragsters. They make 8000 hp with roots style blowers on 1000 ish cubic inch motors. Tell your SC vs turbo article to eat that. lol. Thats 16.6 liters... thats like 480 hp per liter. They also run 4 sec quater miles and go 320 mph with one gear and a gokart style clutch(a really big one).

i have been in somewhat a lot of cars with sc's
a 93 mustang
92 buick
89 camaro
theyre fast im not arguing that
but on the high-end side of power
its not even close
a lot of pple will disagree
but i want a 10 second car and a supercharger cant give me that

the stock 86.5 fuel injector size is 550cc?? i have heard that they were 295cc I think that a custom supercharger on a supra is alot better then just dropping in a 7mgte. Theres nothing better then doing something that nobody else has seen. I think that a vortech centrifical will work well,just have to fab some brakets and intake pipes

[Supra2NR]

your car, your mod of choice i guess

well i wish everybody luck for all of thier projects

Yah those 3.8 superchargers from buicks are on ebay for 200-400$. Just need to fab up an intake and outlet for it, And hook a pulley right up to the ac bracket or something. And those SCs have self contained oil, And a built in bypass valve that bypasses the SC at idle and works like a blow off valve for a turbo. Its a pretty sweet setup.

You will probably spend thousands trying to get the fuel injection right.
