Paverblack Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Does anybody know a kit that has a supercharger for a V-6?
Ace-Garageguy Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 In the real-car world, many different types of supercharger can be adapted to use on many different types of engines.It would help if we knew which particular kind of V6 engine you wanted a supercharger for, and whether your intended application is a street-driven car or something built only to race, or something in between.
astroracer Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 Like Bill said. What "kind" of supercharger and what engine? If you are looking for a roots style blower all you need is an intake manifold for your V6. The blowers are all, basically, the same case. the intake manifold is what designates the application. The intake is easy to scratch build using the stock intake and some sheet plastic.If the stock car had a carb or TBI just cut a piece of sheet plastic to fit the base of your supercharger and glue it onto the carb mounting surface.Mark
SSNJim Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 The most obvious one would be the supercharged Ford 3.8L in the Revell Thunderbird SC kits, and some of their Cougars. A few of the Cougars came with the 302 V-8.As far as non-Ford 3.8s, see above.
Jon Haigwood Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 As for the Thunderbird SC V6. Here are two I built for a 32 Ford 5w project. The one the left has the supercharger and intercooler but turned out to be to big for the 32 so I built the other one with an intake setup from a 5 liter HO.
Paverblack Posted January 7, 2017 Author Posted January 7, 2017 What I am looking for is one that will fit a V-6 in a Pontiac Fiero?
astroracer Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) What KIND of supercharger are you looking for? Post a picture of what you are thinking and we can help you. There are a dozen different styles of superchargers out there. We need to know what you want..Mark Edited January 8, 2017 by astroracer
Paverblack Posted January 9, 2017 Author Posted January 9, 2017 I think I would be leaning towards a factory set up belt driven?
Paverblack Posted January 10, 2017 Author Posted January 10, 2017 I would like the supercharger to resemble the GM 3800 supercharger, I have tried to load a pic but it won't let me
