would it be possible to supercharge a carby g180? what would be needed and what is a good supercharger that can be picked up fom the wreckers that would suit this project?

Obviously it would be a blow through setup. I dont see why it wouldnt work?

To me it would be easier to do this than a carby turbo setup? no complicated exaust manifolds etc.

I think S/C are meant to be easy, just gotta work out how to mount it and everything. Will you need an airbox also, like you would need for turbo?

yeah, the airbox is a must as the air pressure is useless otherwise. Thats why i want the blow through setup as its got me fucked how a suck through works.

I mean even suck through turbo setups sound dodgy. Cold fuel going through a HOT turbo??

It's actually harder to do than a blow thru tubo setup.

It doesnt have to be a blow thru setup, you can do a suck through setup.

Caribou aircraft have a 14cyl engine that run a suckthrough supercharged setup and produce around 1000hp

Blowers dont like pushing against closed throttles, which is why you'll find most either have a carby or the throttle body mounted infront of them. making them suck through. The only ones that you can make blow through are clutch operated ones.

The choice should be completely up to you, all of the options have their pros and cons, eg: with suck-throughs their is a lot of fuel consumption on C.T.D. because of intense vacuum which will suck shitloads of fuel through your inlet ports or injectors.
So do a fuckload of research, nothings as simple as bolt on, especially where any kind of forced induction or cooling induction (methanol for example).
I Hope this helps mate.

That'd be why you have a blow off valve.

so that you can sit there listening to it constantly while you're sitting at the lights or whenever you're idling for that matter?
