i was looking to run this setup but didnt want to buy a supercharger new. if anyone has a used one i could get for cheaper id like to try it out. i was wanting to do a bridgeport or large street port with the camden but from what im reading u cant do that? what is the reasoning behind those two things not working together? i dont want the complexity of the turbo setup so thats why im leaning towards this...

 

They pop up in the for sale section on occasion. I check the FC section.

 

84stock's car is ported and supercharged. Hauls *** too, so I don't see it being a huge issue.

 

I have run stock 6 port, streetported 6 port, 1/2 bridge 4 port and streetported 4 port, all 13b with the camden.

 

PM me and i will send you my number I will be in texas, san antonio in about 2 weeks if you want to come over and see the setups in person and get a full explaination of them I would be happy to have you as my guest.

DAVE

 

i live about 5 hours from san antonio.... so that would be kinda hard to do even though id like to. seeing something in person is worth 1000 pictures, videos and threads on how to do the same thing in my opinion.. i live by beaumont texas

 

i saw that just thought I would extend the invitation to come by see the shop and such not to many places you can see 30-60 mazdas and a 12k sq foot shop without being at a car show

 

My current non-intercooled blow-through stock S5 turbo setup is more powerful at 6 PSI than my old 7" Camden setup was at 9 PSI on the same engine, and the low-end feels pretty much identical. It's not a perfect comparison because my exhaust was too small for the supercharger, but my turbo setup is hardly ideal either, and I'm actually running less aggressive timing now. Once I get some issues sorted and crank up the boost, it should absolutely destroy the old supercharged setup in every meaningful metric except for ease of installation. (The turbo setup required a fair amount of engineering, creativity, and fabrication, and I'm still working the kinks out; by contrast the Camden blower kits are nearly bolt-on and very straightforward to install).

Just thought I'd throw that out there.

 

do you have dyno results??

 

dang... i wish i could go out there to see that but im sure ill be working my *** off up here at work and wont have any time available

 

No, I wish I did. I didn't use the supercharger for that long, and I never made it out to a dyno. But it definitely feels more powerful now. The turbo setup has this huge lump of midrange power that the supercharger couldn't match. I have a feeling that the 7" Camden wasn't really within it's efficiency range with the -7 pulley, but go much smaller and you're going to have to start thinking about chemical intercooling, especially with NA rotors. My theory is that the 5" Camden with a smaller pulley, like a -9 or -10, might yield better results for a basic street setup.

 

I have both the 5 and the 7". Haven't tried the 5" yet. I have used and own all pulleys (6,7,8,9,10). Currently running the #9 running 12 lbs boost and methanol injection in the lower intake. Huge midrange vs the #7. Gonna have to do a new video one of these days.

 

Yeah gary get a video up, How noticable was the meth injection?

 

No updates here, money is hard to come by being that I'm unemployed. Does anyone else have a cooler within thier systems. I'm going to have to get together with some other supercharged guys & see what different ideas we can come up with.
