supercharging a 1st gen
I am strongly considering supercharging my first gen after i drop a 13B and a tii tranny in it. But what kind of a supercharger would work best I was thinking a Gm one off of a grand prix or something like that cuz there are so many of them around. I would like to carb it to stay away from messing around with computers what kind of a carb would be best I have a mikuni but i hardly belive that it will be sufficient.

Screw camden. draw through, no intercooler, and a holley to boot. Either, like you said, fab up an eaton M90 (the charger thats on the GM 3.8s), or spend some more money and get a centrifugal, a paxton or vortech or something. mount it where your AC would go, have it blow straight into a fmic, and then to an IDA style carb with a turbo plenum. The piping being really short, coupled with a SC's near instant power would make for a really fun and streetable car. maybe even throw some No2 at it.

You would be better off installing a stock T2 engine, and doing some basic performance upgrades. It could probably be done cheaper too, would be likley to make more power, be more reliable street able etc.

^ Id agree, any day of the week. A TII swap would be much more cost effective. But for those who really want to SC, for whatever reason, I think that this would be a much better route than the stone age tech of the camden set up.

Id mount it facing backwards, so the shank where the pulley would be is lined up with your current belts. Figure out what size pulley you need and have a machine shop make you one. The mounting bracket and pulley might be a little pricey, depending on your fab skills. But after that, intercooler, bov, boost prepping your carb, and piping. And oil supply and return.
edit... Except that damn dizzy might get in the way... hmmmm

For a roots type the camden ones really do kick ***... I think you will be really happy with the results on the REPU. I want to go screw type so I can get high boost across the whole range efficently.

for some putting a tII in there car mite be to much . from what i read its slightly over my head at the moment. yeah u can get a complet motor and trans with wireing harness and ecu for 1500$ pluse shipping .but most would want to rebuild it frist to be safe (rebuild kits are like what 1k$ cheapist ive seen so dont hold it to me.)then u would need to mod different things to get the motor in and run. i priced it out and it was around 4k$ to do it.
with the camden the bolt on kit from there site was just over 3k$
but that was for a seven inch.
