supercharger or turbo

72Grabber · 12-31-2008

I have been trying to get him to consider what it will take to make the basic stuff needed and sell it if all goes well with the Pinto. He has had to fabricate a lot of stuff but at the least we'll give everybody a parts and where to get them list. It drove around his yard yesterday and got instantly sideways when he goosed it (On dirt).

Among the more difficult things was shortening the blower intake so it wouldn't hit the side of the engine bay (Cutting and welding aluminum). And the crossover tube was fabbed. He also went with the SDS programmable ECU.

Updates soon.....

I'd like to see a turbo added to that setup.

Amscray88kr · 01-08-2009

as in youd like to see both on there?

that it could easily be made into a twin charged 2.3 right? atleast in my head it could.

*drool*

in which case youd be obligated to give us this said list of parts and where to find them because of how effin bad ass your project is.

awesome project.

Next, a supercharger is only 50% efficient, where as turbocharging is 70% efficient.

I just got to see the Hubers put up over 700 HP on a dyno here in Kentucky yesterday. Their SVO put up 435 HP with vertually no tune time.

Do you live in Louisville, a few days ago I seen a SVO leaving Capt D's on Preston, barely got a look at it.

I know this is a total thread resurrection but Super Pinto is almost finished. It runs pretty damned hard though there are still tuning issues. It has a unique hood now

Interesting on the supercharger. Seen a couple on net. Maurice

Thats alright. Youve been missed. Maybe start a new thread with pics of build and info?
