I havent heard of people turbocharging or supercharging peripheral port motors very often. Why's that? Can you do it? Do they respond well? I figure it would go together pretty well. I know peripheral ported motors arent very streetable because their powerband is so high in the rpm range. If you could get your forced induction system to supply boost at lower rpms as well as high, then you could have a streetable motor with huge amounts of power.
Anyone on the forum run a PP motor with forced induction? How long is the motors life? Is it streetable?

 

Sure you can do it. Why not?

As for re: streetability... That is highly arguable. The powerband is mainly in the high RPM band, true, however the dyno charts I have seen suggest that even at low RPM they make more torque than a side ported engine. The problem is poor low-rpm/low load efficiency - they simply don't like high manifold vacuum such as you'd see when cruising (it draws up the exhaust gases during the overlap period).
