i was planning on eventually supercharging mine too. probably atkins style. two questions though, where can i get a larger than stock fuel pump? and does it have to have an intercooler?

You would not HAVE to run an IC. But you still get 1% HP for every 10-11 degrees you can drop your intake temperature. |
i just looked at the holley avenger real fast and it says it has an electric choke, that will get rid of the badly working knob sticking out of my dash?

I like my knob. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif
Atkins may be done testing their FC fuel injected supercharger project by now. It's similar to your GSL-SE EGI job. Give 'em a call. No one is paying me for my endorsement of my dash knob. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif |
Thanks everyone for the input...very helpful and I promise I won't tell that guy about his info being here on Nopistons. Thanks again! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif

If you guys really want the "power down low", and don't care about the "high" end (like a supercharger).
Then get a small Turbo. It will spool up almost instantly, have No parasitic drag, and perform better across the board. Have any of you guys driven/ridden in a stock twin Turbo RX-7? Why do you think they are so responsive (i.e. Instant Boost)? Small Turbo's that spool up instantly. Why do the Big Power RX-7's have more Turbo Lag? Big Turbos that take a little more effort to get them spinning. Even a DRAW-THROUGH Turbo design would perform better on a Rotary than some non-intercooled, Roots type, Supercharger. |
What about the cost? Also, what types of carbs can you use? Last question; can I run a half bridgeport engine? Please say yes to the last question. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

I'm going to start porting my 13B today. I need an answer soon.
To half bridgeport or not to? So far, I'm thinking no bridgeport this time. It's for an REPU so it needs good low RPM power. If I just do a mild port it'll be ok NA or with a supercharger. If I do a half bridgeport, it'll be pretty good NA from mid to high RPM. However, SC and low RPM may not be as good. Not the best combo for a truck. Blah! I'm calling Atkins! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png |
Ok they don't recommend bridgeporting and their superchargers. I'm going to call a little later when Dave gets back.
