Supercharger Arrived!
I got my supercharger today. It is for NA 13b I will be installing in a Karmann Ghia. The carb and other fittings should be here in the next few weeks. I will post some pictures as the work progresses.

2300AX would be better suited, and I'm going to pull numbers out of my rear end and say it could push over 400 rwhp properly done, with a monster torque curve (rotary wise
). In an extreme setup, I'm sure much more then 400 is possible, but 400 could be done streetably. Not cheaply... just streetably. 
And a whipple wouldn't be any harder then doing a roots... just more expensive.. hell, you could adapt an atkins kit for it..

Simply because the whipple is so configurable, with all their various options/snouts/etc, it makes it fairly easy to setup, not to mention the damn efficiency, woowoo! Twin screw makes me happy.

It's a neat car - but it needs a rotary! Right now it's the slowest..... car..... ever!

Hi:
Attached are a few pictures of the work in progress. I tried to install the engine but I need to modify the rear apron for the pulleys to have enough clearance. This weekend will be dedicated to the family so it will be next week before I complete the installation.
The supercharger is still in the box. I will install the pulleys and SC after the engine is in place.

Very cool, but you might want to rethink the soldered plumbing. Those joints are gonna crack from all the vibrations and movment. there must be like 50 of them. What are you using for a water pump, that must be 10 gallons of coolant...Are you going to use a front mount oil cooler. ...Can you see around that radiator hood scoop, it's kinda big...j/k .post updates...I want to do a mid engine baja bug. Oh one more thing, what kind of power can the trans axle handle?
