Hi .....heres the scoop.....
Me and my friend are thinking of changing his auto GXL ('86) to a manual. Since hes thinking of getting a supercharger later on is it better if we just convert it to a turbo II tranny ( get the t2 parts )??......also what do u ppl think of the Camden superchargers for the 13 b's?...i dont want to carberate his engine ----- do u think an upgraded fule injection system will be too expensive?.
RSVP with advice on the tranny.parts i will need and suggestions about the supercharger.
Also how do u find out if ur engine if a 4 port or a 6 port?

Yea I understand that, I was referring closer to the end product. Meaning you are going to put a ton of money into a car with a Supercharger that will produce how much HP?
Seems like a lot of work for something that will closely resemble a T2 in performance... just a thought. You are going to spend $2500 on a supercharger that will increase hp "30%" when you could buy a t2, spend half that on an upgraded or even less on a hybrid and blow the doors off the superchared model. Plus no drivetrain swap, no carb/FI swap and a shitload less work.. but that is just my opinion.

the thought of getting a nice T II has crossed mind---- but its his first car ever and hes kinda sentimentally attached to it.......its hard to explain....plus it gives him a chance to rebuild it...ie work on his car
