Lately I can't get one idiotic idea out of my head - supercharging a ca18det . Well, to be more precise - converting it to a CA18DER. Mainly for 5 reasons: 1. A new t28 (or similar) turbo costs ~ 800$ at my door. And I really don't want to spend that much on a turbo . 2. It's an unusual setup and I want my project to be a little unique. 3. I believe there won't be any turbo lag in that case. 4. No need for an intercooler (no so sure about this one). 5. It should be fun and provide 200-250hp at all times. I know I can be wrong with my conclusions but I want to give this idea a try anyways. bloody great idea i reckon as it is the same idea iv had....the sc14 supercharger of the toyota 2ggze motor are perfect for this and mount on the same bracket as the aircon! they are dirt cheap aswell( i picked one up for $390 on ebay) the hard part is getting the right setup, mostly custom made!. though an intercooler is recommended it is not needed unless boosting over 6 or 7 psi which you will want to do to get to desired hp.....the only other charger i would recommend is a vortec though the cost of one of these will be 1000- 5000 so the sc14 is the best choice for a budget build....then its just a matter of sticking to the same principles as a turbo motor(injectors,pump,possibly pistons,rods,bolts and bearings...ect) you will also need a bypass valve on the intake to control boost and for idle..and then a nistune duaghter board or after market ecm and get a good tune.......
