Supercharge?
I have a 1985 RX7 GSL (12A) and I have been restoring it. So far the body is back to being in great condition, so now I am looking towards the engine. I was looking into a possible supercharging. Anyone have any links they can send me on where to find a reasonably priced supercharger? I am also taking a look at turbocharging, but I know that is a but more expensive and a lot more involved to install. Anyways, some links to either would be helpful and maybe some input on which would be a good choice, thanks.

NB4DALOK! Seriously theres alot of info here and people on both sides of this issue already. Atkins is the only one I know of that has a turnkey setup. Dont let this turn into a flame war guys. You've been warned.

ok, what is required (other then s/c) to s/c a 12a? Any porting required, am only looking at the 5 inch right now. How about carb sizes, I am going to adapt an Eldebrock to the car (I like the small primaries/large secondaries) and a looking to go in the range of 500-550cfm w/ no porting on the engine.

for the 12-A camdem S\C only offers the 7in .
1: to make the camden you need the 2ed gen water pump and housing.
2: From what I have found is that a holley works better than Eldebrock for the rotary But your luck may be better than mine. The carb on my car is a 650 cfm.

The power you will make should be about 233 @ the flywheel.
the boost will depend on what pulley you run you can have 3-12 PSI . In my 7 I am only running 6 PSI of boost now keep in mind this is my daily driver and that is all I want to use on the street [I have a lead foot problem] BUT when I an @ the track I use the 12 PSI pulley.
