Guest SagZ Posted November 24, 2002 Share Posted November 24, 2002 Anyone Seen this? Its a Carbed Supercharger setup for a small block chevy Seems like a jury rigged setup... anyone seen if it performs well? would it fit between the strut towers.. I saw someplace that they want 2200 for the kit. Vortech Carbed Supercharger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QWKDTSN Posted November 24, 2002 Share Posted November 24, 2002 I have heard that they work well... if you search I believe it has been discussed in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Scott Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 Procharger ATI has a much tidier solution for carbs. Really don't need the whole thing boxed.Simple carb hat with minimal modifications. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Thurem Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 Hey After reading this post I did a search on Ebay, for turbo. Man did this ever turn up some shady products, haw about an inline electric turbo/supercharger. Junk, I say, junk. Kinda funny though in a sad way. Rippoffchargerkit.

Guest Aaron Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 Hot Rod did a couple tests with one. It seemed to work well. Made 500 hp on a 4.3L V6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fast Frog Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 I doubt that the S/C unit itself would fit tween the engine and strut tower without beating in the fender skirt that houses the strut tower. I went with a Paxton S/C several yrs ago only cause it was the least wide config that would sit off of the side of the engine with minimal hammering of the tower housing. Even then I had to beat the fender in 1" to 1 1/2" to accomodate the S/C. Vortex and Procharger have an even wider config than the Paxton did. Procharger does have a reverse flow unit that sets more in front of the engine; and with some bracket modification, should fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had mine mounted directly to the inlet on the compressor. Maybe pics are still in members rides. Even with the V6 I had to dimple the strut tower. Fastfrog might be on to something with the reverse rotation on a custom mount. I think a few manufacturers are now making in this config. Sure would point the aircleaner, intake side of the compresssor in the right direction for fesh air.John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLKMGK Posted December 2, 2002 Share Posted December 2, 2002 Most ALL of the manufacturers are now making reverse rotation blowers. That's the onlyway that cars like the Cobra coould fit a blower! The S2K Vortech setup also uses a reverse rotation blower. With so little room width wise you have to stick it in front of the motor facing it and run reverse . I'd suggest going ProCharger though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_hunt Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 A buddy of mine has a procharged carb application on a 350 fit into a ' 67 chevy 2. Hydraulic cam, .480 lift, TRW turbo pistons, eagle rods, steel crank, Dart Pro 1 alum. heads, victor jr. Holley 650, electric pump, 1-1 boost referenced regulator, TH350 with a 2500 stall. 10.02@137mph on 10 inch DOT ET streets at 6000 feet elevation with 17psi boost. Car weighs about 3000lb in race trim with driver. Should be a real screamer Z if you could get it to hook. The procharged motors launch relatively easy provided you don't have alot of stall in the converter and unleash fury at about the 60 foot mark.
