any of you guys read up on the 300 dollar supercharging this kid did to his FC? well i was wondering if us FB guys can use our heads and see if we can fab something up for the use of a eaton M-90 supercharger (like the ones off T-birds) with our 12a carb'd engines.

yeah, i saw that thread. i don't see why it can't be done to the fb. but the carb would have to be richened up tho. if ur putting it on a stock carb, it probably wont flow enough air that would be pumped into it. a RB holley set up for either street port or bridge port would probably work well on a stock port with that supercharger.

yea man, im all excited now, im going to get a 12a short block to rebuild, and attempt to get ported, how hard is it to port yourself ? i can take it to a local machine shop around here, then i wanna either fab up some SC mounts, or get a turbo setup, then drop it all in and take out my other 12a block and rebuild that https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

i was reading the latest issue of turbo and there was an article about this guy whos selling electric superchargers. they are pretty weird, i dont remember the price but they run off 3 small car batteries.

ebay sells electric turbos, don't waste your money, the weight of 3 batteries makes up for the extra 5 hp gain you might get from them

The kid in this refferal forum is a genious. Im going to get started with a supercharger setup right now. He made me realize just how easy it is, especially with us Non-Computer 12A's. Any Input would be awesome. WE should all get started and develop something together with all our input. His setup seems pretty solid so I'll start with that. Advice on a carburator would be nice, I'd like to keep the stock one, but an upgrade might be required.



Lets do this!

You prolly wanna check out the porting and rebuilding forum then. Not as easy as it seems.

If you run draw-through like the V8 guys, you'd need a bigger carb. But if you run blow-through, the stock carb with a pressure hat might be sufficient.
