Is is possible to turbo or supercharge a TBI engine? i have asked numerous people and nobody has had an answer for me please help and let me know where i can get one and the approx. price.

 

anything is possible, it comes down to how much money, time, and effort you are willing to put into it.

turbo, yes you can do it, but it is ALOT of custom work, everything would have to be fabricated.

centerfugal SC, you could buy a procharger, or vortech kit, and then use a carb hat with it.

roots SC, you can run this, with a carb adaptor for the TB.

all of them are going to be very hard to tune with the stock computer.

expect to spend $3500+ for a centerfugal, roots you would probably be in for about 2k. turbo, who knows, that would depend on your fab skill, and what you would have to have custom built. expect it to be expensive.

 

Same thing Dewey said and also I think a big reason you don't see many forced induction TBI cars around is because the people that have used supercharger setups haven't gotten the results they would have like to have gotten. You can take all that money you would spend on forced induction and probably make more power on an all engine combo for the same price. People have said that supercharging doesn't work well on wet manifold setups like TBI.

 

Paxton made a tbi kit way back when, a dude used to post on here and that was one of his few mods, I think he was going 14.10 or so. Itd be cool unique to do it, but I'd go nitrous route over it.

Although it'd be fun to see how a cam would have woken the car up.

 

14.1 with stock internals, cam and heads is actualy very impresive for TBI, i bet with a set of TPI heads, and a descent blower cam, that car really would have moved.

i am activly researching the turbo route, but it seems i will probably drill my 4bbl manifold for injectors, and go the MPFI route with a 2bar map. and then run a large dry TB, and carb hat.

 

Sounds like the path I'm taking, only I'm going all out and building a billet intake manifold with carbon fiber, lol. A bit excessive I know but I have to have something to show for being in school!
